ksun247 Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Nah, but some stuff probably is though. That ref today was definitely up to some shady stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ksun247 Posted May 13, 2018 Share Posted May 13, 2018 Missed both fights last night. HBO Main event ended in a KO also. Definitely gonna see the replays. Hope Gary Russell Jr doesn't disappoint next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCalMike Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I don't want to say it was a robbery, because the fight was close, but GGG won that fight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooper Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 They robbed GGG. Great fight, but the business is behind Alvarez and it’s embarrassing to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksun247 Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Nah, I gotta disagree. Canelo put in the bodywork. He was killing the body. GGG didn't change much up. Begged for Canelo to go toe to toe and didn't take advantage of his so called power advantage. It could have been a draw or Split Decision to Canelo in my book. Tired of the HBO hype train. Lampley is blind, loud and wrong constantly. And Lederman is hot garbage. I never trust his scores. The right guy won. GGG is a punk for leaving the ring and not interviewing with Max. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I wanted to mute HBO at multiple times during the fight. GGG would land a combo and Canelo would counter with 1 punch and I swear they were announcing Zues firing off a lightning bolt at GGG. It was ridiculous. And you had Kellerman trying to force feed us how Canelo "creating a story" for the fight would get him the win. Eh, no....look at the stats and when they were taking place. Just now, ksun247 said: The right guy won. Any judge that did not give GGG the 12th round needs their head examined, and as it turns out, two of the judges giving Canelo the 12th is what kept this one from being another draw. SHOCKING.

StillUnknown Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 (edited) 115-113 is a perfectly acceptable score for either fighter I scored it that way for GGG nobody was robbed really surprised Canelo actually followed through with standing in front of GGG. Either GGG's power is slipping or Canelo has the best chin in boxing also, I'm not really interested in a 3rd match between the two. GGG is still elite no doubt, but he is clearly declining. I suspect a 3rd fight would be a more clearly defined Canelo decision victory I'd rather see Canelo & GGG face the Charlo brothers or Canelo against Danny Jacobs Edited September 16, 2018 by StillUnknown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But politics are gonna come into play with the Charlo's. Jacob's fight can be made if he gets past Deverenchenko. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Alvarez was basically out on his feet late in the fight. Which was insane because I thought GGG was done after round 6. Again, great fight but there’s a vested interest in keeping Alvarez as the champ and it was embarrassing how everybody at HBO embraced it tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hersh Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 The saddest part is that people were predicting that if it went to scorecards, there was no way GGG would win the fight. May not be robbery, but boxing is a joke. I used to love this sport but it's predictably rigged. I'd be good if they did away with judges and scored the fights based on punches landed in some formula. 2 minutes ago, Hooper said: Alvarez was basically out on his feet late in the fight.

Heisenberg Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 I thought GGG won but it was close. Wish GGG would have gotten the decision because I thought he was clearly robbed in the first fight. The third fight needs to be in May or there is almost no point. I feel like GGG will decline too much for anything later to be meaningful. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is probably his last HBO fight. http://www.latimes.com/sports/boxing/la-sp-boxing-notes-20180914-story.html FTR, I thought Canelo won. Triple G came on late but I thought Canelo controlled the fight until late. Also Triple G wasn’t really hurting Canelo much and was tired from those body shots. Was a great fight tho. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kellerman in particular was pretty bad last night. Its like he saw something in the first round and built the narrative of the fight around it, despite what was actually going on. HBO commentary has always been a mess, they have the guy they want to win and it shows in the commentary. Goes back decades really 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hooper Posted September 16, 2018 Share Posted September 16, 2018 Will definitely be a third fight. But GGG will be 37. On a related note, about a month ago I heard from a solid source that Floyd Mayweather was having money problems. Didn't pay taxes, other dumb crap. And now he's fighting Manny again. Hilarious.
