Boxing: Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin + UFC: Rockhold Vs. Branch, Live Thread
9-16-17

Posted on 09/16/2017 5:48:37 PM PDT by Impy

This is hell of a matchup, so rare nowadays to see 2 top guys actually fight each other.

It's on HBO Pay-Per-View (and your friendly pirate sites which we won't mention here), Main Event should start after 11:PM Eastern. GGG is a -155 favorite over Canelo at +125.

The UFC Fight Event is on Fox Sports One and Fox Sports GO, prelims in progress, main card at 10PM eastern. The former middleweight champ takes on David Branch in the main event.

No way was a scorecard 118-110 for Alvarez. She must have been watching another fight.

Was just about to post that. 118-110 was ridiculous.

That was rigged. Was watching with my boxing gym. Serious boxers and instructors none of them saw a draw.

She? Oh boy.

I heard the crowd chanting b**l***t.

Rigged to set up a rematch is the only conclusion, boxing is so corrupt!

HBO guy Kellerman has it 98-92 G Watching without sound G is pressing the fight more always moving ahead. C backing up.

I’ll have to catch that later as I tuned out for the boxing. Glad I didn’t miss the main event!

I see Lombard was KOed, that’s 4 losses in a row.

I didn’t think too much of Lombard’s opponent to start.

I don’t really recall seeing him before.

But as he stated he is a slow starter, and he seemed to pysch himself up as the fight went on, and boom got the KO, so dude did pretty well.

But yeah Gillespie v. Gonzalez was SICK! Great fight!

Anthony Smith, he’s a killer but this was his first big name fight, and he was actually favored over Lombard.

draw after one judge goes 118-110 for alvarez WTF? SOS fixed judging.

Atlas says there’s ‘corruption in boxing’ after draw.Teddy Atlas reacts to the Canelo Alvarez-Gennady Golovkin fight being ruled a draw, saying to follow the money. Atlas said that Alvarez fought in spots to survive, but didn’t do enough to win.

Branch looked good standing up but Rockhold takes him down and ground and pounds to victory.

Yep, fight of the night had to be Gillespie v. Gonzalez. Great action, great guts.

Branch tapped out to strikes, doesn’t happen often. There’s kinda a taboo among fighters against doing it, which is foolish if you ask me.

Rockhold calls out GSP. Lots of big middleweight bouts in the pipe. Bisping facing GSP because supposedly interim champ Whitaker got injured.

First two rounds Smith was “Sheepheart”. I was yelling at the TV for him to throw a push kick or an oblique kick. He had a massive reach advantage. Not sure if he needs better trainers or if he just has a somewhat low fight IQ, but he could have saved himself a lot of punishment by fighting smarter.

Sheepheart! Hahahahaha.

Maybe he was nervous to be fighting Lombard.

Big news, Jon Jones has been stripped of his belt by the UFC, the last fight is officially a no-contest, Daniel Cormier reinstated as Light Heavyweight Champ.
