GGG-Canelo

Don't really know much about GGG,
but Whitman has 18 tabs open right now.

That should surprise no one, I'd expect.

Hey, that's limp compared to my 103, which I will screenshot tomorrow.

Where's the blog? On your company's site?

Edit: found it.

 

Try to keep up, OK? Maybe a little?

 

I had to appease the gf and watch some Bob Newhart marathon. Cut me some slack!

 

Jim Lampley said it best. It was a draw, but that was fiction. I was rooting for Canelo, but he lost. Wow.

 

RIGGED!!!

 

Man, I love boxing but it continues to disappoint.

 

So, who were the judges?

 

A woman named Adalaide Byrd inexplicably scored the fight 118-110 Canelo. One judge had 115-113 and the other 114-114. 118-110 for Canelo?!? What fight did she watch?

Lara, still bitter about his loss to Alvarez, had an odd prediction.

“I think Triple-G will win the fight, but lose the decision,” said Lara, who will defend his junior middleweight title against Terrell Gausha on Oct. 14 at Barclays Center. “Golovkin is going to have to get the knockout to ensure himself the victory. This will be a great fight for the fans, and I hope it lives up the hype.”

 

I scored it 115-113 for GGG. I can live with a draw in and of itself, but not a 118-110 for Canelo.

I do wish there were some sort of tiebreaking mechanism in boxing. Most people look at a draw as a cop-out and casual fans don't understand how a judge can't pick a winner after 12 rounds. It also makes it look like the result was contrived to set up a rematch.
About 30 years ago, New Jersey would have guys in title bouts and elimination bouts fight an extra round to determine a winner, but that's probably not a good idea. After the final round, the fighters cool off while they add up the scores and throwing them into three more minutes of intense fighting after several minutes of waiting for a decision could be even more dangerous than usual.
