What happens when a guy like GGG gets backed up or looks like crap is they give the other guy more credit than they deserve at times. He's supposed to be invincible I guess. The second Canelo fight he boxed fine moving backward as Canelo stalked him. Doesn't mean Canelo dominated him in any facet of the fight. People see what they wanna see instead of what's actually happening in the ring. Because a guy does better than expected doesn't mean he wins a fight.

The guy is kind of a tank and I think it is fair to wonder if in some of his fights he will eat some shots instead of backing up completely, as he is looking to stay put and get off his own shots....especially if he feels he can take the shots/the guy isn't a huge puncher...obviously those still score for the opponent but GGG is usually very active so he ends up having his moment or two in most rounds as well.

I had it 114-113 GGG. Had him down after 10 but he won the last two rounds to nick it on my card with the 1st round knockdown proving the difference.
A lot of subjective middle rounds, I feel 114-113 either way or 115-112 to GGG are acceptable scorecards.

The one thing we can all take from this fight is that GGG's skills are seriously diminished. He's no longer a fearful monster. Takes too many shots because his reflexes are maybe 75% of his prime.
Canelo KO's him IMO and I agree with the ginger....there is no reason for a third fight between the two.

His excuse is lame. Knocking out GGG in a 3rd fight would mean more for his legacy than anything hes done thus far IMO.
Do it at 168 so there's no issue with losing all the weight after being at 168 and 175 recently

Originally posted by Mooshashi View PostIMO it won't be as competitive due to GGG being a much diminished boxer. Hell, make the fight; both guys will make a boatload of money. I just think GGG is past his due by date and Canelo hitting his prime. Might end up like Marciano/Louis.
There's about 10 good fights for Canelo between 160-175, I say get the GGG out of the way in May and then move on to other guys that are in their prime like Smith or Bivol at 168

I haven't rewatched it yet but a fight like this that I thought one guy clearly won but when I watched again had the other guy was Pac-Marquez 3. Live I thought Marquez clearly won the fight but when I rewatched by myself without any noise around me, I had Pac winning like 115-113...
Sometimes the 2nd time around it's easier to be objective and not see things for a guy you're rooting for or just not having other people around helps also to pay attention.
