he made ggg back up but the only fighter to touch the ropes was canelo. dude got outworked. and coming forward does not equal ring control. if that were a real metric for scoring fights, then half the hall of fame would be rearranged
how did he get outworked? canelo went to the body more, ggg had a good jab and barely landed hooks or harder hits in general.
By unknown Go To Posthow did he get outworked? canelo went to the body more, ggg had a good jab and barely landed hooks or harder hits in general.i'm not gonna devalue the jab lol. if two figheters are on equal footing and one is landing the jab at a much higher clip than the other, he's winning that round more often than not.
and yeah.... those body punches did so much damage that GGG got a second wind and smoked him for the back half of the fight
By DY_nasty Go To Postyou see it
great fight. but these judges man lol
imagine outworking a guy completely but judges saying he "controlled the ring" better
exactly. Canelo was swinging and was hitting nothing. I don't think he delivered anything that pushed GGG back once. I thought Canelo fought a good fight, but he wasnt effective at all against a superior fighter.
The judjes must have seen Canelo going in and thought 'well he must be doing well because last time out he was running like a little bitch'
I hate Teddy Atlas, so me and him agreeing on a robbery feels very strange. Same score as well lol.
There won't be a third match. Why should there be? GGG has gone yo Vegas twice on Canelo's terms and beaten him twice, but the record will say 0-1-1.
First fight was a draw and canelo won the second, even ggg's trailer admit they lost. First half was canelo dominating and backing ggg up which we never saw ever in his career despite canelo being the smaller man. Canelo landed tons of body shots and up stairs as well while ggg only used the jab which has less value than any other punch. he picked it up in the 8th round and by then it was too late.
By DY_nasty Go To Postthose body shots did nothing lolThey landed and that is what matters to score a round. Also I saw ggg's body language and after a while it was adding up and he sometimes sort of moved back and made this move with his elbow depicting that it is effecting him.

only person to touch the ropes - canelo
only person to gas - canelo
only person wobbled - canelo
i think it was a great fight, but the narrative of "he did more damage, he controlled the ring" is bogus and far too reminiscent of the joe horn school of how to steal belts
GGG can't beat Canelo without putting him on the mat. That is what I've learned from these fights.
Canelo will always get the draw or a close win.

By kjack Go To PostGGG can't beat Canelo without putting him on the mat. That is what I've learned from these fights.not true, he didn't deserve it for not throwing anything meaningful. he has scared to let his hands go, well deserved win for canelo. ggg can go back to fighting tomato cans and make believe he is a top middle weight.
Canelo will always get the draw or a close win.
AJ vs Povetkin this week, tbh I dont know how shot Povetkin is but he's still top 10 imo, AJ knows people found his last boring so expect him to rip Povetkins head off
By Kidjr Go To PostAJ vs Povetkin this week, tbh I dont know how shot Povetkin is but he's still top 10 imo, AJ knows people found his last boring so expect him to rip Povetkins head off
Think Povetkin definitely hurts him at some point. And we'll see AJ have to dig deep for the first time since Klit. I think 9/1 Povetkin KO is fair
By KP Go To PostThink Povetkin definitely hurts him at some point. And we'll see AJ have to dig deep for the first time since Klit. I think 9/1 Povetkin KO is fair
I don't think he will have to dig that deep (imo) remember he was unloading on klitschko, I think he would have KO'ed him sooner had he not gassed and got caught. Povetkin is quick but so is aj, so don't think the speed is an issue.
And people still think AJ was the one ducking wilder smh. Frank said nearly two months ago the fight was agreed in 48 hours and it was just the final details and it was easy because both fighters wanted the fight. Yet no date, no venue (although staples centre has been rumoured). Not saying it won't happen it's just clearly never as simple as two fighters want this fight
By KP Go To PostSeen enough in 5 rounds that I'm even more confident Wilder flattens himAnd down he goes
By KP Go To PostNice finish it must be said.
Still.
Wilder in 3
He's in a no win situation. He boxed much a fight last fight against Parker gets called boring, has a war with povetkin and gets called sloppy. Got to keep the ratings up man.
He's ice wilder in a heartbeat. He has a punchers chance but I'd bet my mortgage aj would win.

I just think he looks suspect on the back foot, it's not his fault. He's only had 2 fights in his career where people have tried to knock him out.
I just see Wilder bulldozing through him before he gets his timing down. Of course the world will be an unbearable place if it happens.
By FortuneFaded Go To PostI think Fury will beat Wilder anyway so all this stuff is moot
I agree. I'll be surprised if wilder AJ ever happens.
By unknown Go To PostHow are you guys so confident fury is still the same?Talk to em
By DY_nasty Go To PostEzpz. When AJ decides to stop running I'll do a year long avatar bet that Wilder takes his belt
I'll fucking take this.

By domino Go To PostDamn yall down on AJ 😂Paper Champ
AJ at 22 fights has got a much better reseme than wilder has in 40.
Could you imagine the flack if AJ defended his belts to Dunhapas, Szpilka and Chris Arreola 3 fights in a row.

Boxing is a fucking expensive sport, another 17 quid to watch groves Smith.
Smith should rock him but its actually a really good fight

By kjack Go To PostI'm not even convinced a 39 yo Luis Ortiz doesn't ZZZzzzz AJ. I'm serious.
Because ortiz is soooooooooooo much better than klitschko, parker, povetkin, whyte and takam

The WBSS has been so fucking good but goddamn they can't promote to save thier lives. No one even knows this is on.
Groves wide points win
By Kidjr Go To PostBecause ortiz is soooooooooooo much better than klitschko, parker, povetkin, whyte and takam
Honestly, I think Ortiz is better than all of those guys, add in the fact he's a southpaw for extra difficulty.
By You got 14 bricks right there? Go To PostHonestly, I think Ortiz is better than all of those guys, add in the fact he's a southpaw for extra difficulty.
On what basis? Klitschko is an ATG heavyweight, how on earth is Ortiz better than Klitschko.
By Kidjr Go To PostOh and Callum should win as long he doesnt tire. Much better skillset than groves.
Never been in with anyone even close to Groves level though
By KP Go To PostNever been in with anyone even close to Groves level though
This is true, after watching his IFL TV interview he did make me think about a few things (Groves) but still betting on Callum.
And for fuck sake BJS you prick. Failed Drugs test, fight most likely cancelled, belt likely to be stripped. Prick.
