Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
I agree. I wish he pounced on Lomachenko in round 7, after the knockdown the previous round cause Loma was a bit hesitant for a bit after that till he got his second wind back. The cards were pretty close after 9 too (they had a draw).

Oleksandr Usyk is probably the best boxer in the world

I thought Gassiev would win but it did not surprise me that Usyk won as he looked excellent against Breidis.
With that said, I'd still have about half a dozen boxers comfortably over him.

Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
Usyk also barely beat Breidis.
I would rate Golovkin, Lomachenko, Spence, Crawford, Sor Rungvisai, and Joshua as being better.

Canelo, too. I've watched more boxing this year than I have in years and years. As someone who is used to judging MMA and kickboxing it has been interesting getting used to judging fights in boxing.

I'm probably going to try to become a judge next year. Have been considering it for a long time.

Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
He’s beaten better opponents than Crawford, fights everywhere, and other than great power is the total package in the ring. His stamina is insane. I don’t think the other guys can fight on the road like he does.

GGG won the damn fight. It was 12 rounds of HBO guys being fascinated that Canelo was doing better than the 1st fight. Canelo was doing better early in the fight than he did the first time around, but GGG rallied and eventually pulled away.
Not to mention a judge giving Canelo the 12th is assanine.

Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
People remember the rounds GGG won more than the ones Canelo won but they still score the same. I'm going to rewatch and make another judgment but I think it's only going to cement my opinion that GGG won it.

Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
Based on immediate memory, I had it even through six. Then GGG started landing combos and seemed to rock Canelo good each round from that point out. Canelo did most of his best work in the first few rounds.

I didn't watch it but the opinion seems to be solidly behind GGG winning the fight. There's a lot of talk about crooked judges helping Canelo win.

Re: Boxing 2016-2017 Thread
Rewatched it. 115-114. I feel dirty giving Round 1 10-10 so if I had a gun to my head I'd go Canelo. That would make it 114-114, draw lol.
Announcers sucked. Seemed biased in favor of Canelo early on. GGG did better early and Canelo did better late than I had initially judged.

I'm glad they'll be forced to fight again so I don't give a fuck like I should give a fuck. That was fun.

This is weird cause I've wanted him to lose this title for a long time, but not like this. After Adonis Stevenson got knocked out earlier he is now in critical condition. Brutal sport.

The two big boxing matches in recent memory that got me hyped were Canelo/GGG and Fury/Wilder and both end in screwjob draws.

To update on the Adonis thing, he has a severe TBI and will likely be a vegetable for the rest of his life.

Loma is just too good. The combinations he was hitting Pedraza with in the 11th looked like Roy Jones Jr. stuff.
