And yeah, Gonzalez was clearly the superior fighter in there, whereas the other other was a physical trheat, strong enough to push RG back and grab him and out muscle him but pushing, headbutts and hugs dont win fights. Punches do.
RG threw more and landed more.
His opponent was very clever with his head and although the head clashes looked innocent i did see him step inside quite a few times with his head after throwing a punch.
Shame a great fighter loses that unbeaten record in such a tough situation with blood impairing your vision

C'mon guys, the comments you're making about the fights are beyond the relaity of what one seens when watching the fight and beyond what the vast majority viewing and scoring the fight also thinks.
You just make yourselves look stupid.

Anyway, views on this site are majorly scewed. The majority that watched the bout, including numerous publications, had RG winning. I think maybe watching the fight late at night and drunk is not good.

Originally posted by The plunger man View PostI agree ....i thought gonzalez deserved the win and his punch variation and timing which for me easily outweighed the crude often missing punches by the thai......i feel gonzalez also had the added disadvantage that blood was streaming down his face and into his eyes a good 6 rounds.

Originally posted by soul_survivor View PostI watched the fights earlier, without having known teh results before hand and I thought the controversy would be the undercard bout not the main event. GGG won that clearly but RG was absolutely robbed.
Yes Wang, Sur or whatever that guy wants to call himself put in some good, imposed himself physically at times but the points deduction and the fact that RG was landing the superior shots all night, with the better punch selection should have got him the win.
We are living in some crazy boxing dimension these days where the judges seemed to be paid off for every bout. Or they have no clue how to score a fight.
What was a possible fight of the year ends on a very sour note. Who did you guys have winning?

Originally posted by Zaryu View PostI'll rewatch the fights eventually. I'll admit I'm a little more biased towards Gonzalez than either GGG or Jacobs, but hey, it's a boxing forum. It wouldn't be fun of we all agreed all the time.
