He could have stayed there and crushed the Degale, groves and Jacks of this world.

I have not penalised him, it was a great victory to beat big bad Kovalev. A mark of a great fighter.

Do you consider any of these recent fights a robbery?
Pac vs Bradley 1?
Pac vs Horn?
Ward vs Kovalev 1?
Degale vs Jack?!
In all your saddo experience as a fan or boxer, what fights have you seen that has been a complete and utter robbery that have left you completely disgusted.
Give me a breakdown of your definition of what makes a robbery in a boxing match.
Pac vs Bradley 1? - I didn't agree with the result
Pac vs Horn? - I wouldn't argue with this one
Ward vs Kovalev 1? - a little fortunate to go to ward, more like a draw
Degale vs Jack?! - the correct result, six rounds each easy
Re: Let's define a Robbery...
Canelo wasn't active enough and GGG wasn't active enough so it was far from a robbery. Golovkin forced the fight but Canelo did the better work, do you like quantity or quality?

Read Fensters post, the quantity was with GGG and so was the quality.

I don't need to read his post. I watched the fight and the quality was obviously with Canelo, if you can't see that then you're either blind or stupid (maybe both) GGG was more marked up despite Alvarez wearing winning gloves (aka pillows) that tells you all you need to know.
Re: Let's define a Robbery...
It was an excellent fight. Both guys gave everything. Golovkin won the fight, I say 8,4 . The lady judge had other things on her mind other than watching a great fight.
Shame, it spoiled a great show.

You can not decide who won a fight based on what they looked like at the end of the fight. That is dumb.

No you can not because you could get a fighter who does not mark up but takes a beating.

This is why scores don't mean anything when determining whether or not an injustice has occurred. You can't possibly justify a draw when NOBODY (two promoters don't count) gave Canelo the fight, you'd expect a MINIMUM of 15% support for Canelo (10 out of 67) and even then it would be a stretch to claim a draw was "fair" considering the figures. But ZERO support?
