I'm glad me and @Sakuraba7 agree though. It's all baseless speculation to claim that any scorecard in Canelo/Golovkin was an act of corruption.
Quality reply, thanks for the write up. I admit I rant a little stongly about this fight as well, but I thought Canelo looked pretty good last time out, despite the conditioning which was frustrating to see. Maybe he was punching himself out trying to keep up more than conserving his energy on the ropes, but his defensive skills allowed for those breaks and they were long breaks if activity from Canelo at that.
My question for you is, If GGG couldn't really put it to Canelo when Canelo was practically taking power naps on the ropes for 2/3rds of rounds, what's he going to change up to get him this time? Yes, I suppose maybe if he returns to fundamentals and tries to eek out the dec outpointing Canelo like he did last time, but that's not "his fight", that's not what got him where he is. Canelo is gonna fight his own style fight all night and more naturally and GGG is gonna be the one that has to fight outside his normal tendencies. I still think going into this with what we know, GGG has the most adjustment to make.
I'm really looking forward to the fight, friend! Can't friggn wait!
If he finished Canelo, it wouldn't be a decision.
Except we can all have a consensus, and the consensus is that her's is out of line; that's not the case with the draw card. I also didn't say she was corrupt, I said I was open to investigation. Difference.
I'm also not trying to discredit any of the cards. That's you. Hence the onus is on you to provide proof.
One of those cards was a draw, mind you. Only one judge gave it to Golovkin. And batshit BYRD gave it to Canelo. So there was definitely heavy leeway towards Canelo from the judges.

Eh I think his target was just damn good.I'm a Golovkin fan, but he was somewhat looking his age in that fight. There were targets that he could have easily taken but it looked like he couldnt pull the trigger.
That's because he was fighting canelos caliber.I'm a Golovkin fan, but he was somewhat looking his age in that fight. There were targets that he could have easily taken but it looked like he couldnt pull the trigger.
just admit it we all know these ufc judges are curroptI'm glad me and @Sakuraba7 agree though. It's all baseless speculation to claim that any scorecard in Canelo/Golovkin was an act of corruption.
I agree. Luckily for Canelo, GGG is the only guy that can apply that kind of pressure while having a solid chin. And GGG is a winnable fight for Canelo.Some fighters just cannot fix some of their weaknesses. If you have a weak chin for example. In Canelo's case his stamina issues are going to remain a constant for his career. The fact that he has to take time off in rounds will always be an issue, especially against a constant pressure fighter who has a great chin.

What did he do differently to make you think this?Nah, Gennady looked old.
Dude I watched hours of golovkin before jacobs. Saying he’s got old is saying his young stuff would’ve been as good as his old stuff. His technique is tighter the tells are still there but no, not old.What did he do differently to make you think this?
