NFT: Canelo Alvarez

theking : 5/9/2021 2:58 am
I watched the fight, and before the “stoppage”, it appeared BJS was winning the fight, Alvarez was doing nothing, yet when the scorecards were revealed after the “TKO” they all had Alvarez winning? I mean is this sport so fixed that this guy is always winning no matter what ? I saw his second fight with GGG and once again, Canelo looked like he lost? What is the deal with this ? Is the sport afraid they won’t have any box office draws if he loses ? I’ve never seen a fighter be so “guided” to victory as long as he doesn’t get knocked out in my life.
I t is why I don't watch it

They should put up the score every round so the fans can let them know how they feel before its to late.
The fight was 5-3 Canelo

And at worse 4-4. Canelo was landing the harder cleaner punches all night. You make it seem like BJS was dominating him and it was a one sided fight.
I was texting my brother last night (Spoiler WARNING)

He bet on BJS to win the fight. He started to get real confident around the 6th round. I noticed Saunders started to get really courageous in their and drop his hands (mostly to protect against body shots). I texted my brother, “ Billie Joe is playing with fire, dropping his hands like that and engaging.” Sure enough, Canelo lands a massive counter uppercut, that breaks Saunders orbital bone and the fight is stopped.

Canelo blows the guy's face in half, and somehow the fight is fixed?
I’m not talking about the end result.

I’m talking about how no matter which fight it is, the guy is leading in the scorecards. The GGG fight was stunning the second time. This guy has the judges in his favor always.
the second GGG fight Caanelo clearly won

Big GGG fan as well and I thought he dropped the second fight. But not the first. Draw at worst. Pretty sure one of the judges got demoted after that one.
jrud it might have been this thread starter

.
I rooted for GGG in both fights  
JoeyBigBlue : 5/9/2021 12:24 pm : link
I thought GGG won the first fight, but lost clearly the 2nd fight.

Canelo is an All Time Great, people need to realize that and enjoy his prime. People complain and complain about nonsense.
Big GGG

Yeah he won first.
The second, he came on strong, I can see draw or 7-5 canelo
Announcers were way to impressed that since canelo came forward, he was dominating
He ate a lot of GGG shots
Got stunned a bit too
Last night, BJS had some momentum, thought fight was maybe 4-3 canelo
Of course judges didn’t see it like that, anything close they will give to canelo. He was having some difficulty and good thing for him he broke bjs eye socket
Bjs. The same guy who ripped a Brit fight last yr for taking a knee because of a broken eye socket
Even at almost 40, Ggg will give canelo hell. Styles match up and ggg power jab give him issues. Started getting an uppercut in late 2nd fight too
I do like how canelo has gotten more personable after splitting with golden boy. He isn’t a bad dude, just very confident. He has really improved on his craft, real tricky guy to hit clean, always comes prepared. Etc. not a fan but don’t hate him anymore. He is a good watch. Needs better comp
2014 GGG wastes him

GGG is 39 now. He’s gets violently knocked out by Canelo now.
Not buying canelo ko GGG  
Payasdaddy : 5/9/2021 2:26 pm : link
He has a granite chin
Canelo feels ggg shots more than these other guys he fights
He won’t sell out to ko him
Jmho
I'm a GGG fan but Canelo is at his peak now.  
gtt350 : 5/9/2021 6:12 pm : link
last fight i thought he outboxed and landed harder blows.
If they fight again he's the favorite

Did you see his last 3 fights? He got hit a ton and looked way past his prime. Canelo is at his peak now. It’s not much of matchup right now.
… I don’t know what fight you

We’re watching but Canelo was clearly up on the score cards. I like BJS but there was no way he was winning that fight
Canelo was winning this fight

I think 5-3 sounds about right, maybe even 6-2--the announcers were way off in their scoring of BJS. With that said, I think Canelo might be the most overrated fighter in many a year. He is a tough kid who will never be knocked out, but my feeling is that when he has faced tough competition he has either lost or came real close to losing. Mayweather beat him (fine Canelo was young), GGG definitely won the first fight and the second fight was real close. Canelo won Jacobs fight, but that was simply because Jacobs gave away the first four rounds (it was not like Canelo was doing anything), once Jacobs started working he got the better of Canelo. I also think Canelo lost to Trout.
Kovalev is a top competitor but he was way past his prime by that fight.
