Why fighting in United States gives Canelo an advantage over Golovkin? You think because Canelo lives there currently and GGG lives in Kazakhstan? Long time ago GGG has moved to Germany, and I had faced numerous articles claiming he lives both in Stuttgart Germany and Santa Monica US. GGG has same huge army of fans all around the world, and I am sure the venue they will fight, will be crowded by his people, similar to Canelo fans. You would be amazed how GGG is popular in Kazakhstan and how people support him. He wont feel like a visitor during this fight, definitely.
If you have watched the first two fights, then you should know.
I was closely following the live scorecards from sports channels and all of them had GGG ahead by a large margin before the official results were announced. Even CNN Sports had Golovkin ahead. But when the final results announced, it ended as a draw. Dave Moretti (whom I consider one of the best judges ever) scored the match 115-113 for Golovkin, while Don Trella had a scorecard of 114-114. Then shockingly Adalaide Byrd had a scorecard of 118-110 in favor of Canelo. I was astounded by the scorecard from Byrd. She was definitely not watching the same match that others were watching.
Ohhh... You have meant judges...I though you were talking about "at home even walls help" Like it always easier to perform at home, because the fans, the crowd is always for your (however that did not work in a fight against Bivol). Yeap, judging was a disaster. Byrd perhaps was in love for Canelo and scored him as a dominant fighter that evening Also To all of the boxing critics, boxing fans, the NSAC and most of all GGG, I am truly sorry for misjudging the fight and after I was able to. Glad she realizes she had screw up. Since that, she hasnt judged big fights anymore.
