Mixed responses to that

Let's see what these scorecards look like.

 

[Man In The Box]

Lol boxing

 

[PinkydaPimp]

118-110? 

 

[mquinnjr]

 

[Steve Tasker]

Sigh.  This sport is so fixed.

 

[SacramentoBob]

As soon as I heard the 118-110 I knew it was going to be a draw.

 

[Dedfin]

Whoever called it 114 114 should get a beating

 

[Judge Smails]

Are you ####### kidding me? 118-110?  WTF??

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Sigh.  This sport is so fixed.

Yes, it is

[jvdesigns2002]

I'm not a boxing expert but seemed to me like GGG got robbed. He easily seemed like the boxer in control tonight.  Either way--I very much enjoyed watching the fight. 

 

[Ilov80s]

lol at my house rn

 

[Jules Winnfield]

Woman needs her boxing card revoked

 

[EYLive]

PFFFTTTT, switching back to the UFC event.

 

[SacramentoBob]

I had it 228 - 0 Canelo.  Dunno what fight you guys were watching.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Yet another black eye for the sport.

 

[Chaos Commish]

I need to go back to boycotting this #### sport.

 

[IC FBGCav]

What did a draw pay?

Bump

 

[ILUVBEER99]

If Canelo wins on the card, when I watch it, I might give you a rebate.

neither of us won.  i'll send back your money.  fuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[Prince Myshkin]

Boxing can't get out of its own way...

 Boxing is about enjoying the fight. 

 

[Wingnut]

37-0-1

Smh

 

[SacramentoBob]

To be fair, a lot of these rounds were really close and could've gone either way, but GGG seemed to have the edge in all of the close rounds.  Giving all of them to Canelo just seems weird.

 

[Jules Winnfield]

118-110?

I'm done with this sport

 

[Jayded]

And that hosing is why boxing has declined in popularity.

 

[Man In The Box]

It really is incredible. This was a great fight and will only be remembered for the crap decision. 

 

[southeastjerome]

Seems pretty staged for the rematch since Lampley mentioned it about 1 minute after the decision was read. What a joke, 118-110? Seriously? Over/under handjobs Kellerman gives to Canelo late night?

 

[Judge Smails]

GGG won that fight. Period. 

 

[Ilov80s]

2 non  Mexicans at my house had Canelo even. Said Canelo punches were bigger. Not sure about that. 

 

[Prince Myshkin]

boxing is apparently about pissing off the fans and running off any casual viewers

 

[IC FBGCav]

When I watch it, looks like I will think you won.  I can't rebate a draw but I would have a bs win on my side.   We all know Conor had at least 2 out of 3 first rounds at least but got one on one card.  It is bs or the general/big boxing fan has no idea how boxing is scored or it is corrupt as hell.

What were the other score cards?  Canelo definitely seemed to land some good power, but GGG matched him and had activity, aggression and jabs in his favor.

 

[Judge Smails]

Get that freakin chick outta judging. Forever. 

 

[Judge Smails]

Wait, WTF?  I was watching football and the fight at the same time.  that was for Canelo? 

Yes. Chick. Go figure.

judges are a part of boxing.  We pushed the bet. Great fight either way.  Maybe we can do it again on the rematch.

If Conor won any rounds something's off.

Huh?

There are like 20 people at my house right now. Not sure exactly about all the cards. 

 

[Judge Smails]

Moretti scored it exactly like I had it. Canello got last few rounds but still 2 rounds short

Let me see the fight and reevaluate.

 

[Prince Myshkin]

I think that GGG knows that if this goes to the cards he aint getting a decision.  So he should be motivated to end this.  But can he?  Or will be out jab him?  Or will Canelos defense be the difference?  Or could canelo hurt GGG? 

Cant wait. 

Good call...

 

[Steve Tasker]

I could see how people would see it that way, to be honest.  Canelo threw with more power.  I don't think his punches landed as well as the crowd did, and GGG countered effectively, but I could see how people looking for the big punch would've given a few more rounds to Canelo.  He fights a very viewer-friendly style.  Sits on the ropes and picks his spots while GGG picks him apart punch-by-punch.

 

[Judge Smails]

118-110 Alvarez, 115-113 GGG, 114-114

 

[PinkydaPimp]

GGG will kill him in the rematch if Canelo doesnt make him wait a year.  That tentativeness early is what hurt him.  He gave Canelo respect but learned that he couldnt hurt him. 

 

[Abrantes]

Adalaide Byrd 118-110

Not that I'd be totally against a draw on principle, but wow.  

 

[PinkydaPimp]

Good call...

honestly he is lucky he got a draw in there.  Im surprised.  But he should have won obviously.  that 118-110 is what i fully expected though.

I'm not sure i agree with any of this. GGG was the aggressor with more power.
