I gave GGG the fourth he out boxed PEDnelo IMO, but like almost all the rounds they are close.

Another tight round but I thought GGG won it, but according to Maxi and Roid, PEDnelo won it. Maybe I should turn off the sound.....

I thought GGG won the 7th round. Also this talk about GGG being tired seems like bunk. Canelo looks like he is tiring to me, but maybe I trying to see something.

No doubt announcers are pro Canelo/Golden Boy

Maybe GGG there but another tight, tight round. I will say GGG, but it could be scored a draw or the other way.

Wow, every round is the same. The round was tight I thought PEDnelo but GGG came on late. I will say PEDnelo.

Guys PEDnelo is ready to go. His knees were wobbly near the end of the round. He may eat canvas in the next two rounds. GGG easily there.

I thought GGG won the 11th but Alvarez rallied late so I could see a 10-9 Alavarez round. In the 12th Alavarez was clearly desperate and seemed to know he was down and tried to force the action but I still thought GGG won it. But these rounds are close and we know how Nevada loves the house fighter in close rounds.....

Of course, the announcers were the tip off for dirty Vegas.

More bull sh#! we have PEDnelo winning a majority decision with 115-113 twice and a draw 114-114. Come on at best he won 5 rounds, Hopkins will still have the middleweight defense record but he will share it with GGG.

Thank god I didn't give more money for Golden Shower productions, another wig and dress scandal won't be paid by me.....

I thought GGG acquitted himself well and that he was robbed again. If the fight had been scored in GGG's home territory it would probably have gone his way instead. He has nothing to be ashamed of; I think he won.

Of course Alvarez stans will think their boy won but then they'll think what they think.

I believe both men did well and it was a good fight. GGG won overall. Bigger shots and was never hurt, whereas Canelo was. From the racial standpoint I think Canelo is actually a White dude moreso than Golovkin, who I also consider to be a White guy. I prefer Golovkin because he seems more culturally White. Mexican fans lump him in the same category as the five foot nothing tubby box shaped peasant class of that country so they have someone to look up to.

So, considering the people Canelo aligns with, I would no sooner be his fan than I would be for an attractive White female celebrity who was a mudshark. GROSS.

Going forward, I wouldn't mind if GGG retired so that he can deny Alvarez the satisfaction of a third fight, and also as a protest against corrupt judging. If he does fight again he'll be even older so who knows what might happen.

For a 36 year old past prime middleweight against another good fighter in his prime, GGG was amazing. Mentally he seems a lot stronger than Kovalev, who also suffered a robbery that denied him the psychological edge of his invincibility, coincidentally (or not) fighting another dirtbag in America.

No wonder he left the ring without talking to the dweebs with the mics. He's probably pissed off. If he rides off into the sunset I'm cool with it. He was champ for a long time and only "lost" because of some bad scoring. Legacy intact.

It would suck if he was forty and a shell of himself and was a stepping stone for smokers and bums.

In the end, I respect Canelo as an athlete. He did a good job tonight. But he still lost.

He is the "champ" in the same way Ward became champ.

Suuuuuure bruh...

Having said all that, I hope Povetkin gives us some good news next weekend. He was a picked opponent so I'm guessing he'll probably lose, but he's a tough guy and I hope he does us proud.

And boxing shows its utter corruption yet again.

I'm so glad I didn't give the Vegas criminals any of my money.

You have to wonder why any Euro or Russian fighter ever fights in Vegas.

Good I hope Triple G never does another interview with Western Media again. Unless it's via Castefootball.

Yeah Canelo's white but his allegiance is to Brown Mexico. Not to nitpick limitless. That being said Canelo has a great chin and it was an action filled fight.
