J_Stewart Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 That 118-110 should be grounds for sectioning under the mental health act. Golden Boy Oscar must have had a word and a Harry Redknapp style brown envelope for Byrd pre-fight, just no other explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 What chances they knew before hand he couldn't be beaten? You can fight how you like under no pressure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ayrmad Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I think from a financial point of view a draw was a good result for GGG, for all his wins/belts/ko's he hasn't made a lot of cash in boxing terms, this draw will guarantee a rematch and another huge cheque. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how either of them could be sure their chins going to hold up, the probably know there's a good chance now but I wouldn't like to fight either with the wrong attitude.

Super_A Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I watched it with 2 mates, one had it 115-113 Canelo the other 114-114, i had it 115-113 Golovkin, so i don't have a problem with the draw but 118-110 is pure corruption. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Lots of write ups in the last few weeks about this being the perfect antidote to the money-driven, sham spectacle of McGregor v Mayweather. And yet this manages to somehow come away with less credibility for boxing. 118 ffs, what an absolute joke. She needs jailed for that. 10 minutes ago, ayrmad said: I think from a financial point of view a draw was a good result for GGG, for all his wins/belts/ko's he hasn't made a lot of cash in boxing terms, this draw will guarantee a rematch and another huge cheque.

I agree with a lot of what she says but I don't think you could find 10 out of 12 rounds for Alvarez no matter how hard you try. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one thing that always annoyed me about Golovkin, he's never really called anyone out post fight. He always speaks in broken English and says the same things. I'd have have loved him to have had a translator and said the 118 card was bullshit and he thought he won. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comrie Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 A great fight ruined by a shambolic scorecard. I had GGG up by two, but Canelo did better than I expected. It's scary to see what GGG just walks through. Short of a sledgehammer I just can't see Canelo dropping him in a rematch. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, a bit OTT on reflection. I've got massive respect for Golovkin. It's just with the blatancy of the corruption on display and the fact that it's worked out fairly well for everyone financially; it's hard not to feel that the fans have been totally cheated by that pish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought they were both very good at taking the best that the other had, at no point in that fight dId I think GGG could drop Alvarez. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiddy Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Quote From the Times, Ron Lewis Twitter feed:- Adalaide Byrd gave GGG just rounds 4 and 7. Everything else to Canelo. For what it's worth, the punch stats had Golovkin outlanding Canelo by 218-169 She judged Canelo's last 3 fights in Vegas, Khan, GGG and Chavez (not Cotto). Robert Byrd reffed the Cotto fight Byrd actually scored Khan ahead of Canelo at the time of stoppage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kiddy Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Oh, as for the Saunders fight, my P&B connection was down,I thought it was a complete snooze. He's laughing if he thinks he could beat either GGG/Canelo. Both would walk right through him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a few decent performances b4 he came on, DDD has the punches and the power to trouble the heavyweight division if he has a chin and Yarde looked huge compared to his opponent, Reid was very entertaining, a very flashy boxer, I thought De La Hoya cruised through his big test and into world title contention on the big undercard. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Stewart Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 He might speak a fair bit of pish sometimes (although not last night from the clips I've seen), but there're few things as entertaining as Teddy Atlas being apoplectic with rage. Genuinely looked like he was going to punch the giant tv he was doing his interview on, and then got so angry that he completely pied the cameras broadcasting him and just started roaring directly at Stephen A Smith who was on it. Fantastic stuff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
