Yeah their need for more money is palpable, a draw is a joke.

There was going to be a rematch no matter what the outcome.

 

[Angelus Errare]

Look at that salt. Lololol don't know what fight you guys just watched. Canelo all the way

I put money on Canelo but I'm not gonna sit here and agree with a 118-110 call on him. That's just not realistic

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

For all who said GGG couldn't box shut the fuck up and admit you never watched the man fight before

answer my PMs fam lol

 

[CopperPuppy]

I had it 8-4 GGG, I can see 7-5 at most. This was a comfortable Golovkin decision.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Stephen A at the fight.

 

[Ether_Snake]

Typical bullshit with the ridiculous score card that always sticks out like a sore thumb.

GGG won it, and will win it again.

This is boxing, sadly.

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

just when boxing could have gotten me back in with a great fight, that garbage happens. Meh

 

[NYR]

Boxing continues to look like a joke. What a shame.

 

[yogloo]

Bullshit.

 

[HiiiLife]

I'm down for round 2 but I was hoping someone was gonna get knocked out tonight.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

10-2 is obviously nonsense but a draw is not a bad result. People calling "robbery" should honestly back off. Terrible fans.

 

[mr2xxx]

Tie is fair but that first judge lmao. Lived up to the hype and can't wait till the rematch.

 

[SnowFlakeCake]

GGG got fucked over, holy shit throw that one judge to the curb and fuck the draw. Canelo was not even close, bitch looks like he is about to cry right now and GGG just straight up looks confused.

 

[Heel]

118-110 Canelo is ridiculous but I told you guys like I always do with these things . That was a close fucking fight. You don't automatically lose a round because you are backing up. And you don't automatically win a round because you are aggressive. Both guys exchanged at a pretty close clip. Canelo put in work on the body.

Competitive fight, didn't really show up on my scorecard. Gave Canelo the 2nd and 12th.

 

[Pastry]

I dunno about a draw but it was a lot closer than people here were giving credit for with their scorecards. It was in no way a runaway GGG fight.

 

[qazqaNii]

Before the game I told my father that this would end in a draw and get a rematch for all the money, he told me to gtfo, now.. wtf. I thought GGG won that.

118-110 RLY?

 

[Zasa]

Boxing needs VAR

 

[Fixed2BeBroken]

KAZAKHSTAAAN

 

[smurfx]

did canelo fuck up his weight cutting or something? dude looked gassed way too early. i hope he gets in better shape for the rematch.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

It wouldn't be combat sports it people didn't cry robbery after a close fight.

 

[zelas]

BIG DRAMA SHOW

 

[Rumblebones]

118-110 seems really fucking off, but I don't think it's impossible. Canelo did have the much cleaner boxer, and ring control doesn't really count if it's not contested, which is what I'm assuming the judge in question had in mind.

 

[Tallshortman]

A draw is worse for a rematch hype than a winner, imo.

Even if the boxing itself was fucking great.

It's a shame for the boxers, I don't know how boxing judges are worse than even MMA judges who are usually atrocious.

 

[sf2fanatic]

Boxing continues to look like a joke. What a shame.

This year has been one of the worse. First Pac fight, now this

While this is true that wasn't the case in this fight.

It's why MMA is taking over.

 

[bob_arctor]

I had it 8-4 GGG, I can see 7-5 at most. This was a comfortable Golovkin decision.

Exactly how I had it. Draw is the judges bitching out especially cuz a rematch would happen regardless.

Edit: 118-110 Canelo literally made me laugh out loud.

 

[King Kovu]

Whew good thing I didn't bet on this fight lol

 

[Officerrob]

Teddy Atlas on the decision, "Corruption in boxing"

 

[Mortemis]

118-110 is just fuckery. Lmao

 

[Tubie]

Part 2 baby!

I fucking jinxed this shit.

 

[Kelsdesu]

No wonder McMahon was there.. HAHAHAHA

WWE STYLE

McMahon small time.

 

[yogloo]

GGG is so classy.

 

[AwesomeSauce]

Canelo IMO was landing higher quality shots and counters. GGG kept the pressure and threw a lot and landed enough. It kind of is a more technical Mayweather v. Maidana 1.

 

[Ether_Snake]

10-2 is obviously nonsense but a draw is not a bad result. People calling "robbery" should honestly back off. Terrible fans.

Ugh, no, because GGG won it, period.

 

[Gr1mLock]

10-2 is obviously nonsense but a draw is not a bad result. People calling "robbery" should honestly back off. Terrible fans.

I don't know what fight you watched but 10 2 is a hell of a lot closer to what happened than a draw.

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Aside from the decision, it was a good fight.

Bring me GGG-Canelo II.

 

[Beefy]

Look at that salt. Lololol don't know what fight you guys just watched. Canelo all the way

No salt, come on now. No way was it 118 - 110

 

[thehypocrite]

A joke fucking bullshit

Robbed

I agree. Canelo got robbed.

 

[Syder]

GGG clearly won at least two more rounds than Canelo did, could also make the argument that GGG was 3 or 4 rounds up.

 

[Gorillaz]

It wouldn't be combat sports it people didn't cry robbery after a close fight.

this is some wrestlemania shit

 

[ibitegirls]

meh. don't want to see rematch. ggg was clearly better.

 

[K.Jack]

That's the thing with boxing, all of the thrill gets sucked out by one judge's card just being beyond bullshit.

I'm not buying the rematch.

 

[Shanks D Zoro]

10-2 is obviously nonsense but a draw is not a bad result. People calling "robbery" should honestly back off. Terrible fans.

Please tell me why you think Canelo won some 8 rounds on your scorecard?

 

[paolo11]

Draw huh...

Boxing at its finest.
/s

 

[Beatofficer]

Did GGG say he wanted to give everyone his huge gift?

 

[FourMyle]

That fight kind of sucked. Neither had enough punching power to knock the other one out and neither was technical enough to really outclass the other one with skills. Just a shitty fight ¯\_(&#12484_/¯

I already miss Mayweather lol.

 

[Imp the Dimp]

Ugh, no, because GGG won it, period.

No he didn't. 8-4 Canelo.

 

[overcast]

118-110 is the particularly ridiculous part.

 

[Dierce]

Man, I feel so bad for GGG. He roped Canelo for most of the match and deserved to win. This draw is such bullshit and only reinforces when people say boxing is rigged because of these judges.

 

[LJ11]

A draw is fine, but that score is nuts. GGG kept coming, knew he had to finish if he wanted the W. The score is what will stand out, if it wasn't so skewed I think it would be fine, but that number is too much. Seems like that shit was in the bag.
