Who do you think won GGG/Canelo 2?

[Alpha]

I voted GGG and scored it 115-113 GGG, but it was close enough to have gone either way.

The fight lived up to the hype for once.

[THE THIRD MAN]

116-112 GGG....Why did i know this was going to happen?

[TitoFan]

GGG.... but he's got no one to blame but himself on this one. He gave too much ground in the first half of the fight and dug himself a hole. It's Las Vegas, FFS. What was GGG expecting when it went the distance?

You tend to have premonitions, as we all do after watching boxing for years.I believe it was you who said on here right before they announced the decision for Broner vs. Ponce De Leon, “Don’t rob Ponce!” followed by “They fucking robbed Ponce!”

Alvarez won. It was close. But it was clear. If you want to pretend like body shots don't count or just don't like Alvarez than I can see the thinking Golovkin won

Or that you are completely biased. You had it a fairly wide Canelo win. I have to question my scoring methodology in your opinion yet strangely on all forums most people would be questioning your own scoring as most have GGG winning the fight.

One look at the thread will show I had it 7-5 Alvarez. I don't consider that to be wide

[Manos de Piedra]

Haven't been on Saddo's for a long time but returned due to the controversy of this fight.

First time around I scored it a draw but this time I think Canelo edged it in a close fight.

The scoring is very subjective and both fight could've gone either way depending on who you give the close rounds to. So I strongly disagree with those crying robbery.

I saw it as a draw or a razor thin win by canelo. First half he did the stalking and landed good body shots. second half ggg did better.

I dont know wtf letterman was watching.

[Ron Swanson]

I think a draw is fair. I will be a fan of both fighters (GGG again, Canelo for first time) on the back of that if they now fight the best MWs. No Lemieux waste of time. Charlo, Jacobs, Derevyanchenko, Saunders. Fight these guys and I’m a fan of either.

After what they did last night I could even accept a 3rd but if and only if they then fight the top guys. If GGG fights Canelo then retires I will hate him for eternity. If Canelo goes to Lemieux he can eat a bag of di(k$

[erik_corrales]

Haven't logged on in a long time. Just came here to say this, I wanted to (conservatively)give it a draw after seeing it live on someone's Instagram stream. Watched the fight again on a better stream and I gave 8 rds to GGG. Jabs fucking count.

[TitoFan]

Well, Hulk and Dia said they thought GGG won but didn't vote. Armin said he thought GGG won but mistakenly voted Canelo. Walrus didn't see the fight but voted Canelo.

You make the necessary adjustments, and the poll favors GGG with almost 75%, which surpasses the 70% opinion of the boxing experts posted earlier.

For not having been a robbery, it should've been pretty clear cut.

But once again.... the Golden Boy cash cow..... in Vegas. Nothing else need be said.

Canelo will lose when someone knocks him out, because obviously he'll never lose a decision in Vegas, nor will he ever fight anywhere else.

Those stats pretty much go with how I was scoring the fight. That was why I liked Golovkins work early as I actually thought he was controlling the ring with his movement and the constant jabs and occasional combinations. Canelo was missing a lot more. Then later as it became more of a war, I thought GGG was causing more damage. Canelo definitely had his moments, but he was outlanded in 8 of the rounds and in some of those close rounds landed the flashier power punches. It's a shame GGG shows so much respect early, but maybe at 36 he is worried about his stamina. But still he was always far busier than Canelo. 89 punches in round 12 shows his heart.

I don't blame him for not doing an interview. He knows full well about the 'business' now. Many of us suggested to avoid the rematch entirely and suggested he needed a KO. We were not wrong.

Real talk. Good seeing the truth being spouted here by VD all these years later.

Canelo won this fight in the 12th for me. I have only watched once but thought he won five of the first six rounds and won the last.

Overall he was just landing much cleaner punches, was the ring general and I think his body punching has been the different in both fights.
