Teddy losing his shit on ESPNEWS

 

[Syphon Filter]

draw is fine, if you thought it was a robbery you know shit about boxing.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Max had it for GGG by a shade.

 

[smurfx]

Wonder how quickly they book the rematch. The more time that goes by the more it favors Canelo

maybe they book a match vs cotto and the winner then fights GGG. maybe fight cotto cinco de mayo weekend since it falls on a saturday next year and then book the rematch for sep 15 next year.

 

[K.Jack]

Turn on ESPN Teddy is GOING OFF

 

[mercenar1e]

People saying Canelo won in here are either trolling or are morons. Pick your choice.

 

[Bits N Pieces]

I suppose it sets up a trilogy nicely, no matter who wins the next time they'll need to dance one more time after that.

 

[JLG-]

U can make the case canelo won the first 3 rounds. And u can make the case that he won at least 2 of the last 3 if not all 3. That's 5-6 rounds right there for canelo. Yea GGG kept coming forward but canelo made him miss a lot and he was countering him all night. Boxing isn't scored just based on walking forward and swinging away. 115-113 either way is an acceptable score.

 

[CopperPuppy]

Golovkin won rounds 4-7 and nothing else. His stalking style just seems easier to score for as opposed to Canelo's terrific defense and counters.

Yikes.

 

[Fox318]

People swearing boxing's dead like they didn't just pay nearly $200 ($100 for Floyd/Conor, $70 to $80 for this) to see a combined total of one competitive fight that had one correct result, neither in the same fight

Big events are always going to be a thing espically when there is a demand for live sports.

But outside of 4 boxing fights a year the sport is dead.

Nobody is watching PBC and you have clowns like Tyson Fury around.

The sport is so fucking obsessed about creating undefeated champ vs undefeated champ that the sport suffers.

I don't really care if somebody loses so long as they are skilled.

 

[CassidyIzABeast]

Lmao. Teddy Atlas losing his god damn mind.

 

[Wallach]

Great fight.
I got GGG 115 113, but there were a bunch of close rounds and I can see people scoring it quite differently.

And in any case, this is nowhere near the robbery that the internet outrage surely will make it out to be.

Bring on the rematch, let's trilogy that shit.

Actual result is not robbery. 118-110 is just a stupid scorecard. Commentator is on point with the Hagler comparison.

 

[TuXx]

Had Golovkin winning.

Canelo started strong but then gassed out. Canelo has always had stamina issues so the added weight probably made it worse.

And who was it that had the 110-118 card?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Teddy Atlas is going IN.

 

[illmatic22]

Teddy is always screaming mad

Not really news

 

[jchap]

It was a close fight (I had GGG winning by a round)
It was an entertaining fight
We get to see it again!

 

[BLOODED_hands]

He's on now

Oh man.... I need to watch the replay later, lol.

 

[jabuseika]

I want what that judge was smoking.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Big drama show - they weren't joking were they.

What a joke. They're all in on it for the rematch :lol

A decision for either guy would have still led to a rematch. That's such a lazy narrative.

 

[Hickbilly Deluxe]

That fight was bullshit. GGG won, it was close but he did. They are just looking for an obviouse rematch.

Fuck.

FUCK.

 

[v1lla21]

Stupid score but a tie was the correct outcome.

 

[Obliterator]

I'm watching UFC what's Teddy saying?

 

[overcast]

I mean can we at least all agree it was a nice fight?

 

[sf2fanatic]

Chris Mannix going in on Adelaide Byrd, the 118-110 judge.

This is his tweet from 3 days ago

https://twitter.com/chrismannixys/status/908050894033387525

She only gave GGG rounds 4 and 7. Disgrace.

Stephen A is also going in on her right now on ESPN

Are you trying to say that Vince McMahon bought boxing?

 

[RecRoulette]

Golovkin won rounds 4-7 and nothing else. His stalking style just seems easier to score for as opposed to Canelo's terrific defense and counters.

Thanks for sharing your input while at the fight, I know you're probably busy ducking beer cans Ms Byrd.

 

[x Power Pad Death Stomp x]

Adalaide Byrd is borderline the worst judge working in combat sports today. She also doesn't believe in 10-10 rounds.

 

[Ether_Snake]

At least whatever the scorecard is, it's nice to see I can actually just outright stop paying attention to people saying GGG will be exposed since he clearly was the better fighter.

 

[Darkman M]

Great fight ready for the rematch.

 

[Shearie]

All I want to do say is that GGG won.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Teddy Atlas rages and screams corruption if his morning bagel has too much cream cheese. That's his schtick.

 

[Syphon Filter]

yo the rematch is going to be insane! we were hyped for this imagine ggg/canelo 2!!!!

 

[Joe]

This is like if the Super Bowl ended in a tie.

The fight was really close but a draw is still dumb.

No one wants to see a draw. Figure out a way to pick a winner in the event of split scorecards.

 

[qcf x2]

Had Golovkin winning.

Canelo started strong but then gassed out. Canelo has always had stamina issues so the added weight probably made it worse.

And who was it that had the 110-118 card?

Adalaide Byrd the legend.

 

[Syder]

I think this fight proved GGG cannot be KO'd, he took Canelo's biggest shots and laughed them off.

 

[Alex_Mexico]

Mexico Independence Day was yesterday

Lol not it was not! Yesterday was Independence Day Eve! Today is the day.

 

[NoctisVsStar]

My man was robbed 118-110 fuck that

 

[CrocoDuck]

yo the rematch is going to be insane! we were hyped for this imagine ggg/canelo 2!!!!

Fuck yea I know I am!

 

[Art Teitlebaum]

draw is fine, if you thought it was a robbery you know shit about boxing.

The 118-110 is more than dubious though. But that's boxing, too. lol

 

[Fercho]

draw is fine, if you thought it was a robbery you know shit about boxing.

Yup. Amazing how they went to "such a good fight " to "boxing lol"

Canelo needs to work in his condition. I hope he knows that.

 

[Oxn]

Stupid score but a tie was the correct outcome.

Canelo or draw is my pick. No robbery guys, except for that 1 dumb score.

 

[Syphon Filter]

That fight was bullshit. GGG won, it was close but he did. They are just looking for an obviouse rematch.

Fuck.

FUCK.

No a lot of rounds were close. canelo had more momentum early and ggg did in the end, i think it is fair. Lets all see the fight again and we will see.

 

[Mr. Mister]

10-2 is a travesty. It's an easy argument to say it was 10-2 the other way.

 

[K.Jack]

Teddy gotdamn the truth bombs right now.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I think this fight proved GGG cannot be KO'd, he took Canelo's biggest shots and laughed them off.

I mean Canelo sort of did the same. Going 12 rounds with GGG and never even being rocked is an accomplishment.

 

[Leunam]

Yup. Amazing how they went to "such a good fight " to "boxing lol"

Canelo needs to work in his condition. I hope he knows that.

He's known for years. It never changes.

 

[HiiiLife]

So I guess I ain't losing money considering it was a draw, but now I'm def gonna put it on GGG instead when the rematch happens.

 

[TuXx]

yo the rematch is going to be insane! we were hyped for this imagine ggg/canelo 2!!!!

I'm actually less hyped. Good fight but Canelo clearly lost.

 

[sibarraz]

Is MMA really taking boxing? and is boxing really in a bad position?

I mean, this year the only UFC fight that looked like a big deal was JoJo vs DC, meanwhile, boxing had this match and joshua vs klitcshko. Even Canelo vs Chavez seemed to do good business.

At least I have the feeling that boxing is hotter than last year, while UFC is lower in the same time span

 

[thehypocrite]

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.

Shit post.
