Who do you think won GGG/Canelo 2?

[Gandalf]

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

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.

Could have went either way but GGG is the champion so they should have gave it to him.

BJS must be the next option.

[Fenster]

Is there anyone on earth who's not Mexican or a white hating black bod who thought Canelo won?

Watching it again, with the element of surprise erased and full knowledge of the outcome, Canelo can scrape a draw by the skin of his teeth but he never won. Was it a well contested fight? Yes. But there was only one winner.

Respect to Canelo though - the chin/balls - he was terrific (even though Golovkin has jumped the shark).

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.

Golovkin jab was winning and controlling the first half of the fight even if he was the one moving and not being the aggressor. That seemed to have lost him those rounds on the judges score cards.

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$

Agreed. I just highly doubt either of them will fight one of those middleweights that you mentioned. I will give Canelo much more credit if he beats other middleweights. Canelo “beat” a GGG who is a step slower than normal and styles make fights. I’m still not convinced he beats the other top middleweights but he might “beat” them.

Again, most people are missing the point. It’s not that Canelo couldn’t have won the fight. It was definitely in the realm of possibility to score it for him without it being a robbery. It’s that it’s no fluke that two fights in a row the judges scored much more in favor of Canelo than the fans and media did. It’s clear as day that this was already set up for Canelo to win.

This does not bode well for anyone wishing to take on Canelo and try to win. They have to knock him out to win.

Precisely. Before the fight, I said “THE FIX IS ON!” That doesn’t mean it was a robbery. All GBP Have to do is get one judge on side to give it to Canelo and one to dither and give it a draw. This way , Canelo can never lose a decision, but more importantly, GGG Can never win one, he can only win by KO or DQ.
If it sufficiently close , then it can be done. Canelo doesn’t have to be the better fighter on the night, just close enough.
I have to qualify this by saying I haven’t watched a second of the fight as I am away. I’ll probably watch it later in the week in peace and quiet and then I’ll be able to say who I think won, although it doesn’t really matter.

@Primo Carnera tell you what mate, watch the fight and enjoy it for what it is, regardless of the questionable outcome it was a fucking cracking scrap.

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.
