Gordon R Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 sako - the judge who had it 118-110 for Alvarez, should never judge again. Truly awful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 115-113 fair enough. 114-114, well shut one eye and squint with the other and it's understandable. but 110-118? Boxing needs to sort its scoring out, that's just daft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) sako - the judge who had it 118-110 for Alvarez, should never judge again. Truly awful. Probably will get a suspension at least,and i hope she does. Ive stated for years about the gifts he gets although some are pretty blind to it,but heres another one. A draw stinks,and Oscars cashcow lives on. Edited September 17, 2017 by sako751sg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 i reckon it's tighter than that but it's been a proper epic! I gave Canelo the 12th so had GGG by 6 but will except someone can see a few either way. Will watch later without the GGG tinted specs and see where i went wrong and might get on par with Miss Byrd. Outstanding fight but one man deserved to win and got robbed imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Its elementary My dear sako751sg. They are merely references/examples if you wish. Let me put t in black and white for you. The dogs on the street know Canelo vacated his belt, Sure isnt that the reason he was getting slated for ducking GGG ? Ducking it may have been and my point is that they made the right decision by avoiding/ducking Golovkin until they felt they were ready,If this fight had of happened 2yrs ago then it would have been a straight forward win for Golovkin as Canelo IMO was not ready or at the level he is now at, Hence my references to putting Young Dogs in situations they would not be ideal in or ready for. As this is a shooting forum surely you can connect with the references. Had it been a knitting forum then I may have used another example to get my point across. As I recall you' yourself didnt give Canelo much of a chance at the time against the G-Man and even went on to slate ''De ley hoya'' and all the ''Golden Boy'' fighters. As I already Stated this fight IMO is happenng at the right time and is now a 50/50 fight whereas back then it would not have been. I also stated in that discussion that I also would have backed Golovkin back then. However Canelo for me is a different Animal now and I like what I have seen of late from him as he is much improved. I hope that answers you and your 'Fanboy's' query. I respect your opinions and its good to have someone to bounce off on here and like myself you are mostly up in the middle of the night to watch the actual fights. We dont always agree which is a good thing and you make good points on occasion and break fights down which is much better than readng the predictable I agree posts Anyway not long to go now. Im actually strugglng to stay awake tonight and should really be sleeping as I have a funeral to attend in the morning' and the BJS /Monroe fight did nothng to rouse the senses Hoping for a War and have Canelo to get the Job done. Have a few 20's on with G-man - Boys. Please quote where i slated all of Oscars fighters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m3vert Posted September 17, 2017 Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 She is getting destroyed on twitter and it seems rightly so! Her scoring is so at odds with the other two that questions must be asked! Yet again boxing lands a low punch!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prepare for a robbery?? sako - take a bow - you called it correctly. I did not see the 118-110 coming at all, unless it was for Golovkin.

I did not see the 118-110 coming at all, unless it was for Golovkin. Its a sad fact that people could call a robbery happening with the previous history involving Alvarez and it leaves a sour taste for sure. One of the worst ive ever seen is him getting a draw on one card when he fought Mayweather and hes had dodgy ones since. As soon as i heard the 118-110 i thought thats a bit wide for GGG but at least its the right man,and then when Alvarez was named it was pretty clear the fix was on. Says a lot that he was soundly booed by a pro Mexican crowd on their independence day,they knew who one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2017 Have just finished it again and best i can go for Saul is 8-4 im afraid. To imagine,one judge gave it 10-2 in his favour is shocking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't watched the fight yet, now I know what to expect I'll be looking at it in a different perspective. She getting plenty flak on Twitter.....

She getting plenty flak on Twitter..... Some of the stuff shes getting is bad,but with a card this bad its hard to feel sympathy. A lot of folk have big money involved on bets and it shows how risky it is unless sure of the KO. I had a 6 fight accumulator and needed GGG to win on points for it to come in but mine wasnt a huge sum by any means. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisjpainter Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 I have found the punch records of the fight. It makes uncomfortable reading for Adelaide Byrd! Golovkin threw more punches and connected with more. Alvarez might have connected with more power punches, but Golovkin hardly looked troubled by them and was clearly far busier.

walshie Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Scoring like that means she is either blind or taking bribes. I don't think she's blind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mice! Posted September 18, 2017 Report Share Posted September 18, 2017 Maybe she just got them mixed up? She could have also been threatened, so when's the rematch and will she be there😣😣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sako751sg Posted September 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just a wee post to say the great Jake Lamotta has died. A truly hard man in a hard era with over 100 pro fights including six with arguably the GOAT Sugar Ray Robinson. Outstanding movie made about his life called the Raging Bull which is a great watch. RIP champ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A modern day sportsmans career would be ruined for a small percentage of what he committed. Had a pretty wild childhood too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
