Comments Thread For: Sanchez Believes Golovkin Made Big Error By Trying To Outbox Canelo in Rematch

That isn't true. And in any case, most boxers are no better than the average fan at scoring fights.

Truth be told, most judges are no better than the average fan at scoring fights either.

Triple B---H is lucky he got a draw in the first fight against Ginger Freckles. That's more than what every other fighter that's faced MexiJuice has gotten on the scorecards.

I, like many others, Don't Wanna see nor will I watch a third fight between these two Frauds. But Dazn will try and shove that s--t sandwich down the fan's throats anyway.

Both fighter's closeted Man fans will buy it though.

You've lost your mind. You are not any kind of fight fan if you think either GGG or Canelo is a fraud or if you think nobody wants to see their 3rd fight. You've wandered into the wrong forum. This forum is for boxing fans.

Lol, very true. But at least the average fan will score a fight honestly!

Well, I've said it many times before, the reluctance (refusal) of boxing judges/commentators/fans to score even rounds is the biggest culprit of controversy in boxing. People consider it indecisive or weak to call a round even (even legitimately tight or uneventful rounds) so they go ahead and mark a 10-9 round in favor of one guy (their guy) for the most minor advantage. This is what leads to lopsided scores in fights where most people saw a competitive match. Fights that end in controversy generally have several extremely close and competitive rounds. Had those rounds (logically) been scored 10-10 and the clear rounds been scored 10-9 (...10-8 or whatever) then controversial decisions and claims of robbery would virtually disappear. Of course, that will never happen. I feel that I am in the 1% of fans who commonly records 2-3 even rounds per championship level fight.

GGG made a business decision. He wasn't willing to walk through the fire to win the rematch.

Yo, he performed well for sure, but I see Sanchez' argument. Forward movement can give a false impression of supremacy, even for apparent boxing experts. Seen it countless times and it's frustrating as hell.

Tbh seeing GGG pushed back and walked down surprised me and watching it live made me give more rounds to Canelo. Golovkin wasn’t really counterpunching either, just jabbing which made it seem negative and as if he didn’t want to properly engage.

I agree with this 100%. Requiring judges to always pick a winner of every round is an open invitation to show bias in favour of one fighter over the other. And for obvious reasons, It's always the A side or "house" fighter who benefits. Canelo's talent for landing clean, well timed power shots makes it particularly easy for judges to favour him in close rounds, even when the other guy lands more punches overall.

37 year old GGG dominating the last third of a gruelling fight against a strong prime opponent tells a different story.

Pure aggression, without guile and defensive awareness, is a recipe for disaster against a brilliant counter puncher like Canelo.

I felt as though Brook was beating GGG in the first part of their fight and then something changed inside of GGG. He switched from boxer to fighter and clobbered! Perhaps that is the guy that needed to come out in the 2nd fight, especially after the scorecards in the first. What made him think he would win on the cards against Canelo?

Yeah but I don't think Brook was hurting GGG or GGG wasn't feeling the shots as he was from Canelo which made him hesitant. He figure, Okay, I let this smaller guy go long enough, time to get rid of him (Brook).

Your reading comprehension Skills are terrible. I never said "nobody wants to see their third fight"

What I actually said:

"I, like many others, Don't Wanna see..."

And if you don't know what I'm referring to when I call those two fighters frauds then you're not as knowledgeable about the sport as you believe you are.

And why would I give S--t if you or any of the other morons in this forum think I qualify as a boxing fan or not? Hahahaha what a joke.

I'm interested in speaking the TRUTH about the sport I love, calling out bull**** when I see it and occasionally coversing with the few REAL boxing fans that exist in this forum.

You're A goofball.
