Round-by-Round: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez vs. Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin - 15 September 2018

[DrDuke]

The scores are good in any case, the fight was tight close again. Another situation, when you can score it either way based on different things. Those two worth each other.

[Ilya Muromets]

Now Little Bug Eyes is in there shilling it up for all he's worth and I shut it off. It was really a terrific fight, but ruined by the organized crime gangsters that run LV and TV.

I thought Canelo fought a beautiful fight tonight.

116-113.

He nullified everything but Golovkin's jab.

The cries of robbery and fix are wishful thinking on the part of Golovkin supporters.

Canelo can move and win. He can stand in the pocket as he did tonight, and win.

I'd love to see a third fight. I don't think it will happen.

Canelo will not reward Golovkin's disrespect during the promotional buildup, by giving him the opportunity to earn another large purse.

Sanity has been restored to boxing.

Agree, most of fans are just too emotional. Maybe i wanted GGG to won a bit, but no robbery this time IMO. Close fight, rounds hard to score, should go either way

Canelo did not win that fight. He was eating jabs all night.

[Cas]

Omg the ring interviewer is a proper knob. Everyone is bought off.

Money talks. Golovkin was shafted this time. Canelo really felt the pace in this fight compared to the last.

Really impressed with both guys but when your watching a fight that you know will only go one way, it kinda takes the excitement away..

[Rob3_142]

If you was only counting power punches, then fine Canelo wins. But you don't. The busier worker, landing jab after jab, and GGG genuinely rocks Canelo at least twice.

[HomicideHenry]

Well I was pleasantly surprised to see that it was another shoot-out, because I had my doubts... But once again the sport of boxing gave a big fat "F YOU!" to the fans.

I personally saw this as a draw. It was quantity vs quality, and GGG's 3-1 punch out rate certainly made all things more than even in my view.

To say that this was a MAJORITY victory for Canelo just proved everyone's worst fears that IF Golovkin couldn't knockout Canelo he'd be robbed.

What COULD HAVE BEEN a beautiful night for boxing became blemished by the blatant corruption of Goldenboy Promotions having even more corrupt judges than the first fight.

He was eating jabs and uppercuts. Also, what body punches from Canelo HBO jokers were talking about? I didn't see anything landed clean.

[adislav123]

Kellerman is a joke! A bad one! And not funny! That fornicating guy's interviews are unbearable! Cringe x1000! What an arsehole!

[Rob3_142]

It has been pretty painful coverage on BT Sport - Steve Bunce is a bonified muppet. How he landed a job on TV I will never know.

In Vegas he landed 10 jobs!

Then you’re fornicating blind.

Good post. I had it wider to canelo.

Floyd canelo will be next.

[JCS]

A lot of crying in here.. it's pretty outrageous to think that a judge may have it a round or two different than you??.. Come on..

[ironbeard]

Ok, people are upset, but come on, man, can anyone be surprised by this?

[boxing_rocks]

[magicrp]

I told you before the fight. GayLovekin's fans will cry cry cry cry cry. They are losers.

[tigermoth87]

Why do fighters agree to fight in Vegas?

Most corrupt place in boxing. If a fights in Vegas, odds are you can guarantee a robbery, dodgy officiating or other shenanigans.

If I was a boxer and an American or Mexican wanted Vegas I'd say no chance.

[Exoddus]

It was much closer this time around. I only had GGG up by 4 rounds this time. Last time they fought I had GGG the winner by 7 or 8 rounds.

With the 7 round handicap that GGG has. Well done to Canelo. Much deserved win. He managed to win the 4 rounds he needed to get the judges decisions.

[tigermoth87]

Nope. Said all along he'd get robbed.

It's a guarantee in Vegas. Home fighter might as well start the fight 30 points up.

[lazboy]

You guys are jokers. Forget the behind the scenes stuff in that ring Canelo beat golovkin in a close fight. Golovkin is old and it showed. A third fight wouldn’t be good for golovkin. He deserves respect, he deserved his payday but he didn’t deserve a decision.

He did fight a beautiful fight, but everything else you wrote is nonsense, just show's that you're a) mexican b) gay. I respect both.

You are either blind, stupid or biased.. maybe all three.

[Blodhemn]

It's like the same few posters defending Canelo, every time. I recall predicting this exact outcome immediately after the first fight - takes little more than common sense. Closer fight = clear Canelo win. What's even left to dispute?
