The Boxing thread

Think Jacob's will try and step on Canelo like in the Quillin fight, easier said than done. Canelo not known as a fast starter so will be interesting to see how they set up 1st rnd. That said, thought Ak would go straight at Crawford who tends not throw his hands early. Khan was a mile off speed wise and bud stepped in. Canelo v Jacob's is a great match up, let's hope its scored fair if it goes to the cards.
 
Have to say, I love that Sky have started putting full fights(re-runs) on youtube, Daniel Roman vs TJ Doheny was a good watch that I might have missed.
 
Jacobs better do something nobody's ever done and KO Canelo because there's no way he's winning on points.

What a great achievement this will be if Jacobs can pull off the upset.
I’m going to stick a fiver on him Rd 8@ 66/1.
Is this going to be a 5am job?

4.30 at the earliest probably. Jacobs has a big weight advantage apparently so he may have a fighter's chance.
 
I was pissed watching that but I thought Canelo looked in control for most of it(will watch again),there will be the usuals saying Jacobs was either robbed or was no good to begin with but really everyone needs to start appreciating how good that lad is. Even if he is a "ginger nob". Really like Jacobs though full credit to him, great fighter up against one of the best in the game.
 
Really good fight but Canelo the clear winner. Not sure if it was Jacobs tactics to wait or if those body shots he was hit with in the second just took it out of him. I’m pissing blood just watching those hooks to the body. Would like to see them go again after GGG 3.
 
Any fight that could go either way with canelo goes to Vegas no questions asked . The garden is the home of boxing in America and canelo always said he wanted to fight there which he did against a very average rocky fielding. But the triple g fights should have been fought there giving it a neutral venue but no it went to Vegas where it’s pro Mexico . Also can you ever remember a champion having to walk out first like triple g did on both occasions . Don’t get me wrong he is a great fighter but Is
1. Drugs cheat
2. Protected fighter . He is the golden goose of del a Hoya .
If I was triple g I wouldn’t go nowhere near him if it’s going to Vegas .
 
Lol and these people call themselves boxing fans.

First fight was a draw and the GGG fans all said he'd knock him out, second fight anyone who scored it to GGG is a massive hypocrite because they must have changed their whole scoring criteria to suit their guy... I scored both draws, was impressed with GGG's defence in the second fight.

I just find the GGG favouritism pathetic personally, nobody is allowed that opinion apparently which is weird. Bruce Fuckin Vane talked on this recently and made it a race thing but I don't think it is, Boxing fans just attach themselves to certain fighters IMO. Canelo should be getting huge respect by now.

Nobody serious can say ggg didn’t win the first fight.

Regardless, canelo is a drug cheat who used to fade in the latter rounds early on in his career but now remarkably in his late 20s and with so many hard miles on the clock seems to thrive in the championship rounds.

Drug cheats don’t deserve huge respect.

Plenty did score it differently though, professional boxers who know the sport alot better than BT pundits. It was a draw all day long for many impartial boxing fans, even some Canelo haters admitted it, it was just Birds card that turned people off(myself included). Rounds 1-3 Canelo... rounds 10-12 Canelo nobody can say a draw was a robbery because that would be bullshit and there was a case to give Canelo the 9th for the punch of the fight that mashed GGG's cheek right up(Canelo totally unmarked when you all said he'd be getting knocked out). I've watched it more times than most GGG fanboys that's for sure and I can't score it any other way, he was hitting thin air and you don't get points for that in my book.

And it's as I said those with the hypocrisy to score the second fight to GGG are a joke because GGG did everything Canelo did in the first fight. Gave up ground, stayed defensively sound, countered. By scoring it as such you validated everyone who scored the first fight as a draw, for all the reasons they told you.

The crying after this Jacobs fight is a joke too, just wanted him to lose, true lovers of the sport aren't like that, lets cut out the petty childishness for once and give full credit where's it's undeniably due.

Canelo was caught with a weight cutting drug only after 3 tests, the same people slating him are normally Fury fanboys who was doing straight up steroids, the biggest cheat you can do in any sport... but yeah Canelo can do no good. Double standards for fun these days.

Brilliant fighter, anyone who doesn't see it isn't worth listening to in my book.

The vast majority of observers, many of whom are or were pros gave it ggg and wide. Dancing and popshottin for 12 rounds doesn’t win you a fight regardless of how you rate one punch he landed. We’re judging fights on best punch landed now are we ? Jacobs landed the best punch last night, did he win ?

To defend the indefensible re drugs cheating and then to criticise other fans for being fanboys is a bit rich. PEDs have moved on since steroids pal, there’s all kinds of stuff going on, the Furys are amateurs compared to what’s going on in some camps believe me. The change in canelo’s physique, the way his stamina has improved, the way he’s carried his power up the divisions - if you know your boxing then you know what he’s up to

But I didn't give him the 9th did I? Canelo had him hitting thin air in the rounds I gave him and countered effectively hitting him in his face... what more does he have to do? Oh but GGG was walking forward throwing punches(at the air) so he outworked him... great scoring there, you don't get points for that in the real world for those who know how score objectively. Nobody had it wide, that's a complete lie for a start, it was two rounds which were close that not everyone agrees with, despite your inaccurate assertions to the contrary... to call it a robbery is bullshit and I stand by that.

And no PEDs haven't moved on since steroids like you tell it mate(still the biggest cheat by a country mile, nothing builds muscle like steroids, that's irrefutable fact). I actually know what I'm talking about here, it was a weight cutting drug plain and simple, the same one that body builders use before a show to "cut weight"(the layer of fat they have over the muscle until the week before the show)...

What was in Canelo's system is worlds apart from steroids, I've done my research on that, I suggest you do the same. The man has been an athlete from his early teens, stamina isn't going to be problem for him if he trains the right way. Or else how do you explain the second GGG fight? Came in lighter, totally outworked him on the front foot from start to finish... and there was no way he was on anything for that fight, no way whatsoever. The truth is he doesn't need any of that and you and I both know it. In no way was I defending it, just pointing out peoples blatant double standards, in their ability to forgive far worse for other boxers but Canelo deserves no respect... it's all drugs, not talent with him apparently.

What's your stance on the steroid cheat Fury btw? Also did you score the second fight to GGG too as I suspect?

Doesn’t matter what he had in his system he still cheated and got found out . If he wasn’t the golden goose of boxing he would have been hit with minimum 12 month ban. The first triple g fight was 90 percent him golovkin winning . As for the second I honestly thought triple g should have gone nowhere near a Vegas fight with him as it would have been the same . Because he didn’t fight the way he normally does and he used his jab very effectively all night people thought he got beat which I think was a draw . Can you answer why golovkin cane out first when was the champion please as that is favouritism straight away . And it’s not just triple g Other fighters have been on wrong decisions against him . But if you want to give respect to a drugs cheat then that’s upto you fella
