Fuck art. Let's dance.

Rooting for Canelo but my loving god, that was GGG's fight.

Gotta sell the next fight I guess, because boxing is pretty much professional wrestling now. All that loving talk about this fight bringing back credibility to the sport...

Even that 114-114 card was horseshit, but 118-110 Canelo should be investigated. loving criminal. If #FireByrd isn't trending on Twitter by morning then IDKWTF

In the rematch I'd pick Alvarez given GGG's age (and judging advantage)

This is what I don't get. GGG clearly won but it was competitive the whole way. Everyone will watch a rematch. So crooked.

How can boxing judging in general be so loving terrible? Is it simply pure corruption? But then I think, if it was corruption, wouldn't you make it a bit less obvious? And if it's not corruption, it's incompetence - and why are you bringing in incompetent judges in huge fights like this with millions of eyes on it? How can it be so difficult, and why can't they get this poo poo right?

Yeah I'd disagree with 114-114 but could understand how somebody might see the fight that way.

118-110 to Canelo is absolutely astoundingly ridiculous though.
