At the very, very least 17 of them absolutely ducked GGG. As in, if you were an ambitious US Attorney who wanted to run for governor and wanted your record to shine, you would take 17 of these cleanly to trial.

 

We watched everybody duck this man, and in that time, did you ever think you'd see a man meet him square in the middle of the ring and back him up? GGG is the baddest motherfucker of our generation and Canelo went straight after him in the middle of the ring. 

 

It was the iconic title fight we always hoped for. 

The boy became a man, and the man became a legend. 

 

My personal feelings are that the judges ruined an epic fight. In 20 years time we should have been talking about one of the great bouts for the right reasons. But to me, it will be how Golovkin was robbed for the second fight in succession.

All this. 

Not taking anything away from Canelo who fought a great fight but i had GGG winning by a round or two. I could have lived with it if it was scored a draw but a win for Canelo? Not for me Clive

Lennox Lewis and Jamie Moore both gave it to GGG by 2 rounds. Both men who's opinion I respect.

Well myself, Woolster, Kevin D and Steve Bunce had it 114-114. You respect Lennox fucking Lewis more than us?

 

Like JP once remarked about Gary Neville. We absolutely know what we’re saying is right because Steve Bunce agrees with us. 

 

Doesn't take away from the fact that GGG was robbed the first time as well as Canelo being juiced up, of course. Hopefully BJS grows a pair and brings Golovkin over here for a cash out fight at Wembley.

Ha Ha. Bunce > Lewis

Didn't mean any disrespect obviously, and I did say I could understand a draw being given.  Don't think Canelo deserved to win though

[Dicko]

You can see why UFC has taken a foothold.

Embarrassing judging.

[Kevin D]

The controversial decision is taking the attention away from the fact that Spike spent 3 months talking a Herculean amount of shit about what he would do to Lemieux, then go on to do against Canelo/GGG, before his C level, daft moustache having, punk ass got knocked clean out in the first fucking round.

Repped for using one of the great JP quotes in your argument.

I don't know if you know this about me, Babb, but I'm a huge people person. And as a people person, I'm obliged to quote the line in its full glory:

"No one will convince me I don't have a good knowledge of football, I impressed myself with what I said about the spurs game as I saw Gary Neville say the exact same after I had wrote it."

 

 

 

 

[Kevin D]

Actually as a big people person, and because I don't trust Dave, I was kind enough to put all the great posts in one place:

 

[Anubis]

I didn't see the fight, but I believe Golovkin won on the basis Canelo is a ginger.

[chrisbonnie]

I had Canelo by 2. But in all honesty I couldn't have complained if the result was the other way round. 

It was a very close fight. 

I thought GGG was winning alot of points, but his work was forced because he was blowing hard very early. 

Great fight though.

He's a complete tit. You'd have thought he have learned after Eubank JR made him quit.

He’s Richard Hammond to Saunders’ Clarkson.  Coming along gobbing off at fighters Saunders has beaten, like being his mate and chief underling carries any weight.

Annoyed I’ve only yet seen the punch which ended it in slow-mo.

He's on quite a few American shows, then again the yanks have a fondness for annoying twats

So you think GGG was the better fighter, but because he was breathing a bit heavy Canelo gets the win?

He got 400k last night which is 1.5 more than any of the other undercard fighters. He's really managed to con the Americans, and I almost admire it given we know He's a 34-year-old that an Instagram dickhead like Eubank beat.

[Bjornebye]

Watching it now, fell asleep last night. Just finished round 4 and its even. Canelo looks hungrier which was expected but GGG is a fucking machine. i can already tell I'm going to be fuming at the end. 

[Jairzinho]

If you've got it level after four you will be.

[Bjornebye]

What a fight though. What a fucking fight. Don't think I've seen a fight with as many punches thrown. I loved De La Hoya as a fighter, he is one of my all time favourites but the sheer fucking blatant owning of the judges is disgusting. It is so fucking obvious. GGG won that, he won both fights but De La Hoya wants a 3 fight saga. GGG gets the result and Canelo has no right for fight 3. Canelo winning raises a 3rd fight. Its a fucking joke of a sport these days. Anyone who had Canelo ahead is a fucking cunt and hasn't had a fight in their lives. 

[Jairzinho]

It isn't just for this trilogy. It's for future business for Canelo.

They are the two best middleweights in the world. GGG is 36, Canelo is 28. Both will go down as greats but Canelo will be the man to beat. And the man to beat him is GGG. Again, for a third time. I hope he knocks his fucking head off and throws it at the judges. He might nick a draw then.

Watched it again just now and I gave Canelo just rounds 2,7,8 and the final round. Seems a lot more clear cut on second viewing Some rounds were close but I think GGG was a clear winner.  Fuck vegas and golden boy

[Jairzinho]

Someone that knows more about the Middleweight division, how good are the unbeaten fighters - Charlo, Andrade and Derevyanchenko?

I know the latter is fighting Jacobs in October, and Andrade is fighting Saunders.

Any of them any good, like?

Remarkable that payday, wasn’t it. 

Regardless of Lemieux getting embarrassed by Saunders, comparing his pedigree to O’Sullivan’s would be laughable and yet the latter from some reports earned near enough double for the fight.

Both Charlo brothers are good

I think Saunders is best suited to taking a fight to Canelo though, not sure he has the work rate to beat him though. 

I had the fight really really close

Many similarities to Hagler-Leonard imo. Do you like the pressure and walking him down of Canelo of the jab of Golovkin. On first watch i had it GGG by 3 but also had three rounds drawn and a fair few rounds i could have seen the other way. Very very close. I think the fact it was Canelo is swaying the opinion on the fight, the PED test,Golden Boy etc. Shouldn't be forgot GGG got a questionable win over Jacobs.
