Who do you think won GGG/Canelo 2?

Never leave it in the hands of the judges...


What was the poorer decision...
ODLH V Tito
GGG V Canelo
PBF V Maidana

Does not matter, poor decision is a poor decision. It was not a robbery, because the rounds were very close and my score card was wide, just a bad decision.

The first fight was genuinely an outlandish robbery, with one of the single worst judges cards I have ever seen (and that's saying something)

The second fight, which was a great fight no doubt about it, was much closer than the first. It was Canelo who made adjustments and improved. He showed real skill, quality and heart in there.

I do think GGG won the second fight too, but it was close enough that the judges could have gone either way. After what happened first time around, Golovkin must have suspected he didn't win clearly enough.

Its pretty outrageous that this can happen in a multi million dollar global event, and this has a big effect on all sorts of things. GGG has been the best middleweight I've seen since Hagler, and this leaves a very nasty taste in the mouth.

Thanks X that is pretty much how I see but u white guys always say it better

I disagree Brock. I don't it is on GGG to have Canelo fleeing to be doing what he wants to do. We cannot just say 'Well GGG usually backs opponents up' and 'Canelo usually runs' but this time it was different so Canelo wins. I find that a strange way of looking at it. If you are outlanding your opponent and managing to get hit less than the other guy is hitting you then you are outboxing your opponent. GGG was outboxing Canelo in that first half. And why not if the other guy is just walking you down and trying to smother? Surely we aren't judging a fight based on what we think someone is going to do otherwise we are penalising someone for having a plan B. That doesn't make sense to me. That is where I find Andre Ward's analysis corny but then again he got outboxed against Kov and got the decision so he would think like that. 😕

But everyone knew your scorecard would be wide before the fight started. Hell, we could predict most everyone here’s cards before the fight started

The fact you had it wide shows you’re opinion of this fight is and was biased. Everyone agrees it was a close fight except you.

We all try and score it as fairly as we can even with our bias, views and opinions. I stand by my score card.
I said it was a close fight because the rounds could have gone either way.

You can still have a close fight but a wide score card. The analogy I made in the thread about the tennis match score be 3 nil in sets is apt because it looks a clear victory but the set scores would be 7-6, 7-6, 7-6.

True. And I didn’t mean for my comment to sound harsh. I just find it a bit sad that we have a great fight that is nip and tuck the whole way and people cry robbery. If they gave it to GGG, cool, if they gave it to Canelo, cool, to me a draw was fair.

I thought GGG was the more skilled fighter going in, I thought Canelo was the more athletic and diverse fighter. I walk away with that same feeling. But both are elevated in my eyes. GGG for showing the fortitude to recover and adjust, Canelo for showing that for all the hell he catches is a fighter through and through. People want to call him pampered for the business of boxing but what matters is in the ring. Dude out GGG’d GGG. Props to GGG for adjusting. Props to Canelo for being willing to stand and fight.

It is hypocritical of you to accuse anyone else of being biased, considering you are biased yourself.

Predictably, you wanted Canelo to win because Mayweather has a win over him, and a win by Alvarez enhances Floyd's resume.

I wasn't rooting for either boxer, yet like most people I saw Golovkin winning, close but clear.

So much ado about jabs vs. power shots, as if jabs were the only thing GGG connected with. Watch the fight again. GGG totally ROCKED Canelo in the later rounds. Only Canelo's granite chin kept him from going down. GGG dominated the first few rounds jabbing from the outside, seemed to be a bit gassed toward the middle, then showed his true grit and rocked Canelo again and again with uppers and power shots. Canelo fans obviously will cling to the body shots of Canelo like drowning people to a lifebuoy, while ignoring the pounding GGG put on Canelo especially in the last part of the fight.

Again... Canelo fans think Canelo won. Boxing fans know GGG won. Every single survey being done bears it out. Simple as that.

You’re just a fan right? Not someone who hates Canelo right? Neutral and impartial right?

Ok, so substract 0.0000001% of the vote.

Makes a big difference right? Skews the voting results right? Makes a difference in what the vast majority thinks right?

If you support one fighter does not mean that you can not judge a fight fairly.

I think Titofan can judge a fight as impartially as any one of us.

No it's ok. Let's take my vote out of it. That'll take the universal opinion down from 75% to 74.9999999%.

Now the decision looks soooo much better.
