Comments Thread For: Jacobs: I Truly Believe Golovkin Beat Canelo In Both Fights

[AdonisCreed]

It doesn't matter if he thinks GGG beat Canelo twice or not. The fact of the matter is Canelo has a draw and a win against GGG and they will most likely fight a 3rd time after he wins against Jacobs. Everybody has their own opinions about what happened so it is what it is.

Jacobs is starting to get on my nerves. I change my mind I think Jacobs lost to GGG now and he will lose to Canelo.

jacobs beat ggg, ggg beat canelo, and jacobs beat canelo(lets assume canelo gets another gift)

Where are all those Canelo fans posting lists of boxers/trainers who thought Canelo won the second fight? This thread will be incomplete without you. How about we have battle of the lists then? How do we judge who won there: numbers vs numbers? Worth of an opinion? Like what is Lewis’s (pro GGG) opinion worth? Is it worth Usyk’s pro Canelo (2nd fight, Usyk though the first one GGG won). Or will Usyk’s and AJ’s opinions (AJ is a long standing Canelo’s fan in his own admission and even “fanned” him to beat GGG) combined beat Lewis’s?

I think the biggest problem in perception of this fight is that GGG has become a hostage to his own reputation. When a destructive terminator turns into a boxer, many will see this as a weakness. Let’s put it in perspective: showing a different skillset is a weakness. Right? Good one.

Optics has determined GGG’s fate, which is very sad. While Canelo did very well to stand his ground, not once he pressed GGG against the ropes or clearly dominated or walked him down. And 12th round was GGG’s, judges got it wrong. Just like in their first fight the 12th round was Canelo’s and judges got it right. Judges tend to get it wrong or right depending on what is required for Canelo to avoid “L”. Surprise-surprise.

I don’t see either Canelo or DJ knock each other out meaning that the fight will go to scorecards. And as both are elite level fighter the fight will be close or very close. Meaning that Canelo wins. I wonder at what point robbing opponents will start taking away from Canelo’s reputation? I don’t see this happening tbh.

I don’t hate Canelo, I respect him as a fighter, but its just too much smoke of this kind of decisions around him to say that there is no fire. This is a sport of perceptions, not hard numbers. So I’ll have mine. And did I mention PEDs?

For some reason he started talking about Kovalev at 175. Great payday for Kova, but why wouldn't Canelo pick on a young champion at 175, not the one who fights his last fights? I guess Wikipedia "4/5/6 weight classes champion" beats everything, doesn't it? Hey, I'm pretty sure he would have beat up today's version of Mike Tyson, shouldn't he move up to HW?

Very well stated overall, particularly the bolded text above. You can often tell someone's bias in this manner. I have heard from a number of fans who cite Canelo's pressure in the 2nd fight as his reason for victory, only to later denounce G's pressure in the first as him being robotic and Canelo out boxing him.

Sadly, with the vague and archaic scoring system boxing has it is less a matter of sport (in regards to winning) and more a matter of appealing to the personal bias of the viewer.

You know these punk ass Canelo hater's will never give Canelo props!
I didn't give Canelo any rounds against Mayweather and I also had Triple g winning the first Canelo fight 7-5. But I had the same score 7-5 Canelo in the rematch.
If Canelo wins vs Jacob's by decision these lame ass Canelo hater's will say the judges were paid off. If Canelo knocks out Jacobs they'll say it was due to the rehydration clause and call Canelo a cheater...
Either way Canelo can never win with these punk ass hater's cause they'll never give him props and they'll keep making up excuses Everytime he wins... It's sad!
Never seen one man get so much hate from other men...
They really are worst than females!

Agreed! But Canelo won both fights. As much as the commentators tried to give Golovkin credit for coming forward with ineffective agression, missing punches and "walking through"\eating Alvarez's power shots those things don't win fights. They never have and never will. His jab was effective but he got to a point where that was the only punch he would even throw. This is not an amatuer fight. Golovkin started counting his punches as if he was still fighting in the Olympics. Professional boxing has different scoring criteria and jab jab jab to try to win by punch count is not one of them. Thats why GGG truly lost both fights.

[peplz]

I think so too and he also clearly beat you.

As if youre ******ed azz opinion counts for anything.

Only Mayweather's and Ward's jabs count.

[Boxing Scene]

That's because he ****ing did.

[j.razor]

He's right. When you beat Canelo, you get a draw. When you draw against Canelo, you get a loss.

No matter what the numbers are on the cards the outcomes were what they were except the 1st golovkin fight cuz Nelo won that fight.

[j.razor]

Yes I do as well...both fights were close. They weren't robberies but I had Golovkin winning twice 115-113

First fight I had Golovkin winning rounds 4.5.6.7.8.9.11
Second one I had GGG winning rounds 1.4.5.9.10.11.12

You gave Triple L those rounds 😂🤣

[j.razor]

GGG definitely won the first fight. Second fight I thought was draw. Canelo boxed the fight of his life the first half of that fight. Jacobs knows he's to outbox Canelo to win and it's hard to get a decision against Nelo.

Nelo won both. Jacobs also won. Now we have the 2 that beat Triple L fighting
