In general I agree with your post...I would just say that when I scored Lara-Canelo, I gave Canelo the last 4 rounds as well, to get him a 7-5 win on my card..and Lara is one of my favorites to watch in this era.
Canelo raised his level and Lara did what he does a lot imo...he coasted too much and let his opponent into it more than he should have.Comment

Have to Respectfully Disagree with you man. For me there is no possible way to give Canelo 7 rounds. I haven’t watched the fight in years So I might not be 100% accurate.
Lara started off strong using his movement to take the first 3-4 rounds leaving Canelo so frustrated he actually bull rushes Lara because he had absolutely no answer at all.
Canelo lands a Monster shot on Lara I want to say round 5 , Hurts Lara and Canelo is able to grab about 3 rounds while Lara is recovering
Once Lara is able to shake it off and get his sh.it together , he goes back to winning the rounds. I think Showtime had it 9-3 for Lara at worst it was 8-4.
After Canelo landed that Hammer he didn’t land anything meaningful again ,
I’ve never seen a fight and still haven’t seen another fight where the fighter was given rounds because of so called body shots that were mostly blocked like Canelo was while Lara was consistently landing
I know this isn’t how you judge who won but look at Canelo after the fight , He’s totally dejected , Head down knowing he lost his corner telling him to not look like he lost.
Gets gifted a decision then uses the excuse every fighter uses when they didn’t do sh.it , Oh Lara ran and the media / fans runs with it.
Just my opinion
Lara got jobbed worse then GolovkinComment

If anybody watches UFC, there’s an IG page that scores fights with a much more accurate system.
It’s an improved 10-9 system.
So instead of 10-9, they’ll score it 9.72 vs 9.28, which would give a +.24 score for said fighter in said round. So it scores the rounds 10-9, but also by scoring just how much of the round was won.
In the end, they’ll tally up who has most overall points awarded, rather than who “won” each round.
So an example would be if a fighter wins 5 rounds but very dominantly, and the other fighter wins 7 rounds but he barely edged each round, then the other fighter who won 5 rds. dominantly would win due to overall points accumulated in comparison to his opponent. It’s a much much more accurate and telling points system.Comment

This means nothing tho...Seeing how incompetent judges can beComment

Even on this site the majority of people felt GGG won. Its consistent on media cards, boxing website polls, etc.
I think it was like 80% of people and media believed GGG won convincingly.
The 2nd around it was like 60%.
I could have seen GGG win or draw the 2nd fight but still didnt think Canelo did enough to win. Sure Canelo came forward but narrative doesnt and shouldnt dictate who wins a fight.
First fight was a straight up robbery especially with that 118-110 card.Comment

The more I think about the second fight the more I think the scoring of the first tainted it even for me. I find I always want the boxer who I perceive to have been robbed to win the rematch.
So in the second, because it was closer than the first and Canelo was coming forward I kinda just assumed he would get it.
Where as if there had been no first fight I probably just would have thought close fight, maybe draw maybe GGG.Comment
