Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2017 Yeah, it's a bit of a ballache. I know Bunce kept saying 'AT NO EXTRA COST TO BOX NATION SUBSCRIBERS' so I should've known. But I guess I just took that as 'if you get Box Nation, you get this fight included'. Didn't factor in the BT customers thing. Oh well. I'm going round my brother's in a bit to watch it. His Box Nation is on thank fuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Fox Piss Posted September 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2017 The Saunders/Monroe fight going on at midnight is a absolute joke. I know Warren normally punishes us with his cards length but i thought BT would be on top of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, Warren doesn't know how to pace his shows. Oh well, the night is young for those of us planning to watch GGG vs Canelo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members GlennCullen Posted September 16, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 16, 2017 Have arrived at a friends to find that he can't order the PPV as he doesn't have sky HD and its only available to order through bo office on Boxnation HD. Is there a way to order in SD? Failing that, does anyone have a reliable stream? Much obliged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porkchopcash Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Saunders fight was what i expected really. GGG/Canelo was a very good but not a truly great fight. A lot if people are saying it was a robbery but i think it was a fair result. I gave Canelo rounds 1/2/10/11/12 then theres a few close ones what could have gone either way. If Canelo had an engine on him he'd be unstoppable. Canelo landing the more eye catching shots can sway the judges. GGG at 35 to fight the way he does for 12 rounds is amazing. Bring on the rematch and leave BJS out in the cold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Murtz Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 Bollocks cards for me really. 118-110?? Watched it back again and I still can't see how it was a draw. Had GGG up by 2 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rossman Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Golovkin clearly won by a couple of rounds. 118-110 for Canelo, that judge should be struck off immediately. Like when Canelo fought Mayweather and one judge scored it a draw. The cynic in me, says Golden Boy loads the judges in favour of Canelo. Canelo was gassed by the middle rounds. He would hit a flurry for 90 seconds then run away for the next 90 seconds. He got his 2nd wind at the end to try and gain some coverage back. The post fight interview where Canelo thought he won 7 or 8 rounds, he didn't get Oscar's memo, you're supposed to say won 10 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TildeGuy~! Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Not surprised it went this way, everyone prior to the fight was saying GGG needs to win by KO otherwise he'd get done by the judges. They were also jokes made that Adalaide Byrd (the worst judge in combat sports) would score the card 118 to 110 Canelo over a week ago on twitter Edited September 17, 2017 by TildeGuy~!

Porkchopcash Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 118-110 was a ridiculous score but throughout the fight Canelo landed the cleaner my eye catching shots which can sway the judges. GGG was the more come forward fighter but he wasnt landing many telling blows. I can see why people think he won the fight by a few rounds but can also see why it was scored a draw.

Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 I had Golovkin by a round. It was a razor close fight and like with any razor close fight you'll get the outcry of robbery/boxing is a joke/boxing is dead dopey talk after the fight. This wasn't Bradley vs Pacquiao 1 or Pacquiao vs Marquez 3 bad. I had it for GGG but I could see how someone could score it for Canelo, and I can see why it ended up a draw. But that 118-110 card is completely unjustifiable. Adalaide Byrd is rotten. It was her who scored the Mayweather vs Canelo shutout a draw as well. She's terrible. She either doesn't have a clue what she's doing or she's corrupt as fuck. And considering her two biggest and most high profile fuckups were in Canelo's two biggest career fights, I'm leaning towards the latter myself. Not accusing Canelo of anything, maybe it's a De La Hoya/Golden Boy thing where they have Byrd in their back pocket. Something is up because how else would a judge with such an awful track record of playing her cards wrong (RIP Brucie) keep getting assigned these huge fights? The crime here is that it was a fucking terrific fight and all anyone's going to talk about now is the decision and wonky judging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 GGG pinched it for me, but fair play to Canelo, he clearly needed to get on it for the lat 2/3 and he worked his arse off getting it done. Again, 118-110 is some shady nonsense. Tis boxing, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members wandshogun09 Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 Joe Rogan did a Fight Companion podcast for GGG vs Canelo. Should be worth a listen. I caught a snippet of it earlier and Rogan was going before the decision was announced 'Brendan Schaub told me that unless Golovkin stops Canelo or completely dominates him then he might get robbed by the judges'. Then when the draw was announced Rogan was going 'Well, Brendan Schaub called it. Brendan Schaub is a SAGE! He's a SAGE!' Eh? Are we pretending Schaub's a boxing insider now? Wasn't it a fairly common line of thinking going in that if GGG didn't the KO there might be some controversial scorecards? He didn't call anything crazy, did he?

jimufctna24 Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) I had it 7 rounds to 5 in GGG's favour. Canelo was quite fortunate to get a draw, but it wasn't a horrible decision. Canelo won rounds 1, 2, 11, and 12. You could also argue that he won 1 or 2 other rounds. Canelo didn't do enough to make a reasonable argument that he should get the nod; but he did just enough to scrape a draw if the judges were feeling generous towards him. Regarding the 118-110 scorecard; was it incompetence or was there something awry? This has happened before with Canelo fights. One judge gave him a draw against Floyd, which he didn't deserve. I also read on Eastside Boxing that one of the scorecards for his fight against Lara was lopsided in his favour, and a bit dodgy.

Paid Members ColinBollocks Posted September 17, 2017 Paid Members Share Posted September 17, 2017 Teddy 'Big Drama Show' Atlas. I'm pleased the judge is getting called out on her inept performance. Given the heat, you hope Nevada at the very least suspend her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
