The fight is in OC (organized crime) owned Las Vegas again so besides the fight itself a big thing to consider is what kind of fix do they have planned this time? It's always something in LV.

See the 10 or more equally dumbassed threads on the subject.

I just noticed this thread. Sorry about duplicating the subject.

Sure, you're right. What could be suspicious about anything in Las Vegas? Silly me.

For the most part I honestly expect the fight to be reasonably on the level.

If it's a close fight though, and goes the distance it's going to Canelo. GGG knows this.

I hope you're right, but I will be amazed to see a high profile fight in LV that is. If it goes to a decision and GGG wins I'll probably faint. Better keep the smelling salts ready.

True. We all know this. That's why 3G the Tank Engine is going to run through him.

Jesus Christ, why don't you whiny bitches enjoy the fight and complain after it? Ifit's close, Canelo wins. Everyone on the fornicating planet knows it, including GGG.

I'm confident in the G Train's ability to keep on rolling down the tracks

I kinda think so too, but we'll see. I do hope it's on the level without the usual LV monkey business because it is a very highly anticipated fight that should be a good one. The odds are fairly close, about 1 1/2 to 1 in favor of GGG.

I expect them to tighten with Mexican pesos. 3G's coming. This is going to be a bomb thrower!!

I don't know what kind of fix any of the rest of you have planned but I'm fixin' on a bottle of this . . .

Kazakh vodka

If they think there is enough money to make it into trilogy GGG might also get the nod.

Another Bradlay vs Pacman fight...

Relax ggg gonne tko him

Bump

Ok, let's reassess.

1. It was nearly unanimous prior to the fight that if it went the distance that GingerHead would get the decision.

2. It went the distance.

3. It was ruled a draw.

Conclusion; we should be pleasantly surprised that 3G got a draw out of it.

Personally, even though realtime I had it 117-111 3G, I expected and posted when it went to the cards that it would be an SD for GingerHead.

The worst thing about it all, and the thing that sickens me most as a fan is last night pretty much shows us that at least as the Powers that be in Boxing concerned GGG can't ever be allowed to get a win over Canelo with anything short of a knockout.

Frankly I don't see him being able to performn any better than he did last night in a rematch, even if he had the same exact performance chances are it just won't be enough for them to "Officially" give him the win.

It's sickening.

I get damn sick and tired of seeing my favorite fighters get f*cked over, and screwed out of their chance at a career defining victory due to corruption.

I had it 9-3 and expected Canelo to win as well. GGG came out of this better than expected. If Canelo had more confidence in himself he could have legitimately won. GGG outnutted him more than he outfought him.

Canelo fought like a guy who knew ALL he had to do was not get knocked out, and the rest would take care of itself. He was probably surprised they didn't just give him the win.

It was different than that to me. He won the majority of the exchanges, I think he expected more than GGG had to offer. The running seemed unnecessary.

He got the better of some of the exchanges, but a great deal of them he was just turtling up, and not firing. I agree with you that the most eye catching shots of the bout came from Canelo, but GGG's superior workrate, and stamina is what won the fight, and that's what makes it worse. The older fighter needs to rely on better stamina to be able to beat the younger man in his physical prime...the younger man who, as you touched on COULD'VE done better.

Chances are in the rematch Canelo DOES do a little more, and GGG can't beat him this time.

Next time if it's legitimately a draw or legitimately a 115-113 type win for Golovkin, Canelo wins that one...and unfortunately, that's probably the way it's gonna be.

I don't even want the rematch. If they're gonna f*ck over my favorite fighter once, they'll f*ck him over twice.

I'm ready to watch Charlo beat one of them. Though he will have an obviously difficult time with the judges and canelo.

The problem is Canelo can't keep up with the pace of GGG. He didn't run to get out of the fire he ran to get some rest between the exchanges.

Running isn't exactly resting. I mean he was clearly looking not to engage in a few of the rounds. Other times it seemed part of a gameplan that wasn't needed. Though I will give you that his stamina has always been subpar.

Maybe there was enough money on the line
