GGG is showing some boxing skills tonight.

**aging one** · 17-09-2017, 10:45 AM

Starting to get out to a lead is GGG, seems Canelo is tired the end of most rounds. GGG leads in the punch count big.

Canelo is going to have to stop him. Too far ahead and not as tired is GGG right now. Great fight.

**aging one** · 17-09-2017, 11:00 AM

The woman Byrd again. 118-110 canelo. Fuck that. ITS A DRAW

**PeeCoffee** · 17-09-2017, 11:06 AM

A friggin' draw...possibly another fight in the future. $$$

I wonder how the bookies made out with this result.

**kmart** · 17-09-2017, 11:07 AM

^That woman ought to be arrested... GGG winning the fight easily by 4-5 rounds for me. Walking though all of Canelo's best punches and beating him down. Relentless.

Fucking boxing judges...

Told my son to get on the draw yesterday at 25-1.
Bastard bets only come in when i dont put dough on.

Great fight, enjoyed that down the boozer

**NZdick1983** · 17-09-2017, 11:18 AM

Farking bullshit!!! GGG clearly won that fight (and you guys know I'm a Canelo supporter) but fair's, fair... GGG won...

Canelo was backing up most of the fight! hard to land powerful blows while walking backwards!

Not happy with the decision at all. Canelo had his moments, but should have stood his ground - and traded punches - eat a shot to give a shot...

I had GGG winning 8 rounds to 4...

Anyway, I'm an honest bloke... you guys were right, GGG is the better fighter (even past his prime)...

Edit: or at least he had the better strategy... i.e walk Canelo down, pressure him forward...

Judges make big bucks and more big bucks on the way for the rematch.
Disgusting!

**Dillinger** · 17-09-2017, 04:15 PM

^

still glad i dont gamble. Id get up early to watch that again

**NZdick1983** · 17-09-2017, 04:17 PM

^ Yup, disgusting... lost respect for Can, he should've manned up and admitted he lost that one - instead of protesting he won it!!

GGG was all smiles at the post interview - he knew he had the better of tin-can... top gent that GGG...

Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin middleweight fight ends in draw - Stats & Info- ESPN

Key stats to know from Alvarez-Golovkin draw

Saturday's fight between Canelo Alvarez, left, and Gennady Golovkin, right, ended nearly two years of negotiations and maneuvering. Al Bello/Getty Images5:44 PM NZST

ESPN Stats & Information

The long-anticipated middleweight title fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin ended with a split-decision draw Saturday night. As defending champion, Golovkin retains his WBA, WBC and IBF championships.
Two of the judges had the bout scored closely: Dave Moretti favored Golovkin 115-113, and Don Trella had a 114-114 draw. Adalaide Byrd scored the fight 118-110 in favor of Alvarez.
Golovkin’s record is 37-0-1 (33 knockouts). In world title fights, he is 18-0-1 (17 KO), including 5-0-1 against current or former world titlists.
Alvarez’s mark is 49-1-2 (34 KOs), and he has an eight-fight unbeaten streak since his loss to Floyd Mayweather in September 2013. Among his past eight opponents, Alvarez has faced six current or former world champions.
This was Golovkin’s second consecutive fight that went 12 rounds. Those are the only 12-round fights he has had. Dating to 2008, before his fight against Daniel Jacobs in March, Golovkin stopped 21 of his 23 opponents before the 10th round.
The stats
CompuBox statistics showed that Golovkin landed more punches than Alvarez in 10 of 12 rounds. Alvarez outlanded Golovkin 14-12 in the second round, and they each landed 23 punches in the 12th.
Alvarez entered the fight landing 46 percent of his power punches, per CompuBox, and that figure was 42 percent on Saturday.
Golovkin was much more effective with jabs than his opponent. Golovkin landed 108 of 361 thrown (30 percent) compared to 55 of 233 (24 percent) by Alvarez.
But Golovkin didn’t live up to his previous punching prowess. He landed 31 percent of all of his punches, compared to 40 percent entering the fight.
The primary target for Golovkin was Alvarez’s head. Of his 218 punches landed, 210 (96 percent) were to Alvarez’s head. Alvarez put 74 percent of his landed punches to Golovkin’s head (127 of 171).
The background
The fight was Golovkin’s 19th consecutive middleweight title defense, dating to when he won the WBA middleweight title in 2010. In the middleweight division, only Bernard Hopkins has more consecutive title defenses, with 20 from 1995 to 2005.
Alvarez entered the fight as an underdog (plus-150) for the second time in his past 20 fights. The other time was in 2013, when he was a plus-235 underdog against Mayweather. Golovkin was a minus-180 favorite Saturday.

Any one know much about this kid ? Five fights five knockouts.

Daniel Dubois

A thread for the latest relevant news from the square ring, add yours here....

So, to begin with...

Tonight at around 3am the WBO Heavyweight title live from Manchester, Joseph Parker (NZ) vs. Hughie Fury (UK)

It's live on Youtube PPV at 15 quid/650 Baht. If anyone's bothered.

In the meantime, here's their highlights.

I predict a KO for Parker from watching them both here:

**DJ Pat** · 24-09-2017, 05:50 AM

**aging one** · 24-09-2017, 08:41 AM

Parker better stay in the weak division he is in. Did not look like a champion at all. Any other heavyweight champ would have an easy time with him. Like to see him and Deontay Wilder...

**kmart** · 24-09-2017, 03:01 PM

^Wilder is entertaining and unbeaten because of that bazooka of a right hand he possesses. Pretty much a one -armed fighter, imo. Parker hasn't looked good in his last few fights; just doing enough to win scrappy fights. He needs a big name opposition in the mix if he wants to remain at the top level as any sort of serious threat to the top Heavys.

Just watched a good scrap at the Lightweight divn. Classy Venezuelan Jorge Linares retaining his WBA and Ring titles in a split decision win over Britain's Luke Campbell.

Linares coasting the first few rounds and putting Campbell on his arse in the 2nd, but stepping off the gas a bit and allowing a very game Campbell to come back and win a few of the middle rounds. One of the judges (another fucking muppet) even giving Campbell the fight by 2 rounds.

Hopefully the very talented Linares will get a big fight out next time with Mikey Garcia. Would be a real treat for fans, and these type of fights are finally getting made these days.

Yeah, I think Fury predicted that too. That's why he stalled fighting Parker for months, and that's why he ran around the ring keeping away from Parker.

Hmmm. Agree....for this fight. It's hard to look like a champ when you have to chase your quarry around for 12 rounds.

I'll take you up on that. Can't bet pies because they'd never get delivered and may not even exist; what's your wager?

**aging one** · 24-09-2017, 04:22 PM

Steak dinner with lots of drinks and wine..

**DJ Pat** · 24-09-2017, 06:25 PM

Fury simply didn't do enough, nor could he intimidate Parker with any punching power.

Why the they think they were robbed is a mysetry.

It will be a pleasure. Especially since you'll be paying.

Looking good.

**DJ Pat** · 07-10-2017, 11:11 PM

Bit of history from '95. Lennox Lewis took on the late, slightly eccentric Tommy Morrison

Anyway, onto tonight's fight in Stuttgart:

After a violent press conference where Yildrim's manager squared up to and told one of Eubanks team he would 'fuck his wife in his own bed' I don't honestly see the young Chris jr having much problem with this Turk. Expect a KO around 7 or 8
