Boxing: GGG vs. Canelo

[The_Architect]

Enormous fight tomorrow night. Who do the CF fight fans like? I've been waffling back and forth on who I think will win but this morning I've convinced myself that Alvarez will win on the cards.

For casual boxing fans, this is maybe the fight of the decade and these two guys are easily my two favorite fighters. GGG is undefeated KO artist (who's lost some mustard in the past 1-2 years) and Canelo Alvarez is maybe the best counter puncher in boxing, who's only loss was to Mayweather about 5 years ago (he should have never taken that fight, he was way too young).

HBO PPV, can't wait!

I like Canelo, but wouldn't be surprised to see this go either way. Really great matchup.

I liked GGG until his last fight. This is def the fight of the year. (Don't give me May vs Mac) That was the spectacle of the year. Probably the first time in a while two guys in there prime have agreed to fight. Ill Take Canelo . Would not be shocked with a GGG win though

 

[GTO]

Canelo by decision.

What are everyone's thoughts on Vasyl Lomachenko? I rarely watch boxing but his style is just so entertaining to me.

He is outstanding. Almost unbeatable right now

He's Neo from The Matrix. A total freak of nature.

Lol

This is exactly what's wrong with boxing. Some idiot scored it 118-110 Canelo. So ******* corrupt. I'm a Canelo guy but GGG won that fight. Unreal. I had it 116-113 GGG, and that was with a 10-10 draw in the 1st round.

Missed this one, but a draw is probably the worst thing for this sport right now.

Depends. They're going to make gillions on the rematch. But yes, the draw is a complete sham to anyone who watched the fight.

Byrd shouldn't be allowed to judge another match ever

Sounds like she's been terrible for years in boxing and MMA judging

Yeah apparently a lot of people were expecting a wacky scorecard the second she was announced as a judge for the fight.

I'm the most casual of boxing fans, but I've watched a lot of it over the years. I have no idea how it should have been scored, but that was the most fun I've had watching a match in years. Can't be much more fun without a knockdown.

Bummer it was scored a draw but that wasn't the fault of the fighters.

Agree. So ******* corrupt.

 

[The_Gent]

Awesome fight...that said, Byrd needs to never judge another fight again. She's consistently terrible.
