    I think that there is a fine line between a controversy and a robbery, a dubious decision and a really bad decision. A fine line, but a line nonetheless.

    I can accept very well that sometimees, a judge will give all the tight rounds to one of the two boxers, even though I strongly disagree. Fine.


    But when a judge makes a TOTAL miscalculation by such a wide margin as 118-110, it's absolutely scancalous. Canelo was nowhere near to "perhaps win". If we're VERY generous to Alvarez, losing 115-113 is acceptable. A draw? pretty dubious but let's call it a dubious decision. 118-110? I can't believe I've ever seen such score for that fight.

    On the Pac vs Horn fight, the three judges scoring the fight 117-111, 115-113 and 115-113 to the Australian after 12 rounds...I felt that was Bob arum keeping all the money in House and making rematches under his own greedy banner..plus it was in homegrown soil in Australia.

    The judge was completely wrong in the fight last night which is something we can All agree on...BUT if that same judge made it 115-113 for Canelo I still don't see a robbery.

    Here's a simple way to understand the difference between the GGG robbery and the Pac-Horn "robbery."

    The vast majority (95%) of people think Golovkin beat Canelo. Pac-Horn was split 50-50. Therefore Golovkin was robbed and Pac wasn't. Popular opinion. Simple.

    You should be wondering why you're in the tiny minority that thinks Golovkin lost? You should be re-evaluating your own scoring (motives), what are you missing that everyone else can see, not trying to convince the world that they're wrong.

    So you're calling the GGG fight a robbery?

    Everyone was crying that Pac was robbed at the time..short memories on request.

    No, once again, i'll dumb it down even more...

    Lots of fans were saying Pac was robbed. He wasn't robbed because lots of other fans thought he lost. It was split 50-50. If 95% had thought Pac won then it would have been a robbery.

    How many people have you seen score the fight for Canelo apart from YOU and a couple of trolls? YOU are in the minority. YOUR interpretation of the fight doesn't align with everyone else (no sensible fan/pundit/judge agrees with you). Therefore you should be wondering why you got it so WRONG.

    I think you will find that most people are more scarred by the 118-110 score which has intensified the feeling of the result.

    If the Judge gave a 115-113 Canelo score would that be more acceptable in your eyes or did you have it wider than that?!

    This is going round in circles in many threads.

    I just feel Canelo deserves a ton of credit for this fight as everyone was accusing him of ducking and was going to to get knocked out by the bogeyman...Canelo is not to blame for the dodgy judge.

    It wouldn't have made a blind bit of difference whatever score Canelo "won" by. EVERYONE thought he lost (vast majority/every sensible viewer on the planet). That's the only part that is relevant. Canelo LOST. Golovkin WON.

    The ridiculous scorecard disguises the robbery if anything, as it takes attention away from the main factor.

    That's a fair comment.
