ri Alban Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Canelo, the biggest cheat in boxing. He should be banned for life, but he makes these crooks too much money. Hopefully someone comes knocking and puts his lights out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was never hurting Canelo though who was more content to just bide his time and wait for his power punches, which ultimately worked guess. The judges scores at the time of the stoppage were a nonsense but being on away soil, you do need to do more than just nick rounds with smsll bursts of punches. Hope the eye injury isn't too bad but maybe BJS will show a bit of contrition as he was quick to slag off Daniel Dubois when he quit with an eye injury. For a while, I've been all for the judges scoring to be revealed at the end of each round. I wouldn't be surprised if some cards are left blank for several rounds and they are just filled in retrospectively to meet an objective. A lot of scoring has been nonsense over the years.

Greedy Jambo Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I had Saunders winning 4 rounds to 3 until the 8th when Canelo seemed to get a 2nd wind. Granted, Canelo's punches were far more vicious than Saunders throughout the entire fight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. Would the scores be available for the corners as well? Would be folk up and down haranguing the judges most likely! That or the scores in the round handed over in a sealed envelope and counted up later. Just don't get a judge from Dundee.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can’t see anyone from 160-175 beating him right now. Yeah, apart from Golokvin, no one else in his class and whilst I thought GGG won their first fight, he's 39 now. Canelo is clearly class but I still find it hard to assess him in the all time list based on who he's fought. He's clearly achieved more than say Calzaghe but Calzaghe's style would have caused Canelo all sorts of problems. Anyway, like you say, no one else on the horizon right now who should trouble him; certainly not Chris Eubank Jr who has laughably called him out 😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Usman is considering fighting Jake Paul as well. The whole sport is becoming a bit of a circus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scores should be available for all. Even if they are anonymous, there needs to be more transparency as for years, scoring has been dodgy. The Wilder v Fury draw was a joke. The officiating from an experienced guy like Joe Cortez during Mayweather v Hatton was embarrassing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canelo tested positive for doping (Clenbuterol) but instead of the standard 2 year ban, the Nevada Boxing Commission gave him a slap on the wrists and a paltry 6 month suspension which allowed Canelo to have a lucrative re-match with Golovkin in vegas later that year. Clenbuterol is used for asthma but can also help turn fat into lean muscle, Canelo claimed that he tested positive (twice) due to contaminated meat. Plenty other suspicions surrounding Canelo, from a slightly off weigh in for said rematch with Golovkin and what looks like a spot/bump on canelo's ab's at the weigh in, exact same kind of spots/bumps are visible on Jon Jones's abs prior to him testing positive for steroids and it's known from diabetics that repeated injections at the same site can cause similarly looking fatty lumps to form under the skin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mad Dog Logan Posted May 22, 2021 Share Posted May 22, 2021 Considering all the belts are on the line in the Taylor fight there seems very little interest on here, maybe its because he's a hibs fan, but the country as a whole seems disinterested.

Hopefully Lee Mcgregor will have fights of this scale in the future🤞 It's an absolute disgrace how under reported this is. Ramirez Vs Taylor: Both undefeated All 4 main belts on the line Only the 8th time ever to happen Never for a UK fighter. Fury Vs Joshua All the same as above.. Except they are both undefeated with both draws and loses in the mix.. Only 'extra' being two British (or English?) And being heavyweight... To me they are both as big as each other overall and an absolute disgrace the lack of media about this. Hope Taylor absolutely smashes him and tells sky et Al to **** right off afterwards when they came crawling (probably off now cause in Barrie's back pocket no doubt but a win will make it unavoidable) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costanza Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Incredible achievement by Taylor to be unified champion after 18 fights. Thought he was struggling with the pace of Ramirez up until the knockdown in the 6th but that swung the fight. On that knockdown and also the second, was it just me or did the referee slow it down and give Ramirez too much time to recover? Did feel that Taylor was taking a chance after that by seeming to wait for the power punches and not making sure he was winning the rounds and cementing the knockdowns. I had that one round Taylor in the end but two seems fair. Hope Taylor gets the recognition now and a big crowd as unified champion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETTY29 Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) What an unbelievable achievement by Taylor. To have done so much especially in the pro fight game, in so little number of fights too.
