I kinda feel bad for GGG but then I think about why he let it get to that.
GGG was supposed to be this monster unbeatable Lancelot type. He was supposed to expose Canelo for the fraud that he was. Turns out that in 24 rounds he couldn't knock Canelo down. I mean wtf it makes you wonder if GGG was truly the monster everyone says he was

He probably that thought that in a close fight where he has the edge, there will be vindication and believes that boxing will give it to him this time, but it says otherwise and hence it's like a "betrayal" for him. And I don't blame him for walking out.
I doubt he had a rematch clause or that Canelo would give him an immediate rematch. He doesn't seem too keen on taking on anybody else and I don't think he'll want to get up for it at 36.

I though Golovkin clearly won that so yeah...this was another bullcrap robbery.
I think I'm done with this sport.

i think he won this one even more decisively that the last one. he punished canelo more, a canelo that ended equally tired as in the first one. didn't improve his stamina that much. it sucks that close desisions like this one always go to the same side, i mean canelo lost every second, of every minute of every round vs floyd and somehow got a draw in one card.

Originally posted by Rip Chudd View PostI'm thinking the same which makes it kinda sad. I think he had it in his mind that everyone saw the first fight and was on his side, then the PED thing happened and everyone was riding with him, no way would they take this from him, even if it was close. He musta forgot that Floyd scorecard. I wouldn't trust anyone after stuff like that.

It's just so frustrating to be a GGG fan
He got ****ed around by his own promoter back in Germany, was being avoided by the top mws in his prime and then when he finally gets the big fight he gets screwed not once but twice
Honestly it's be better to me as a fan if he'd of gotten outclassed or koed. It's be easier to accept. But this is just BS
Both fight were close but both he won, the second one even more than the first one imo
Oh well that's boxing for you

GG had guys duck him, had management that make shytty matches, had a trainer that embarrassed him in the media.
And, the 2 legacy defining fights that should have sent him out on a high note really reek of BS.
I'm not going to be militant about it. If you scored Canelo winning, fair enough. The fights can be debated. But, personally I don't feel good about any of it.
Whatever GG does from here on out, all the best to him.
The 12th round was the factor, and Canelo just closed the show better. Otherwise it would’ve been a draw.

it does make you wonder why we invest time watching a sport where you know which fighter is going to win as long as it's a competitive fight.
we will watch AJ v Povetkin next week, already knowing it'd be nailed on that AJ would get a decision if he only won 4 rounds or something.
i grew up around the sport, so it'll always be part of me but if i was some young kid now and watched these big events constantly ending in controversy, i'd probably find something else to be interested in.
