1821  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 21, 2022, 05:43:15 AM

Well, from the point of view of betting, it's something else, but I think that this time Martinez really wants to stand out and from what I've read the boxer has very good technique, at a professional level I'm sure he won't do badly, so I have seen, some give Ancajas the winner, but in my personal opinion Martinez is a clear winner for me, obviously without going through Ancajas's abilities, Martinez is a boxer who for now will be measured with a higher degree of demand, here he can discovering that there is a business model that is impressive, and the statistics are supporting it, I wonder if it goes 3:1 how it will be in less time, will the ratio increase?

On the first fight it was obvious that Martinez was the clear winner, it was not a controversial fight as even the fans of Ancajas believe that Martinez won. Well, we are now in the rematch, I'm just hoping that Ancajas will make the right adjustment so it will not again result in a one sided fight.

No debate on that, Ancajas looks exhausted in that fight, so it's time for him to bounce back by winning the fight. I know it's easier said than done but I still believe that Ancajas is capable of doing that, he work his way to become a champion, he would not give up that easily, and winning here means him becoming a champion once again.
1822  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Crawford vs Spence on: August 19, 2022, 05:01:02 PM
I'm still waiting for the announcement if they have already reached an agreement. It's been weeks but still no report from the media. I hope they will reach an agreement soon, perhaps this coming ber months. I don't why Terence Crawford is hard to get regarding the percentage of the money. If I'm Crawford I'll humbly ask 40-60 of the money, beat the shit out of Spence, demand a rematch then appeal for a 70-30 on the contract, ez money. 
We have seen the updates already, although not official, but it is a reliable and good source as where the negotiations is heading. It not Terrence Crawford that is trying to 'hard to get', in my opinion it is Spence, because he has 3 belts and he believed he is the A-side, between the two. And all have been speculating that the money split is 60-40 in favor of Spence, and Crawford is ok with that 40. But then again, we might never know that real split until the fight is made, and the numbers goes public.

For now, let's leave it like that, the fight could happen in the second or third week of November and Spence getting the biggest share of the pot. The data might not be available, although I reckon that if the venue is on Las Vegas, the Nevada Athletic Commission might release the numbers after the fight, so we will see. But if it's true that Crawford is willing to accepting the 40% and then maybe look for a bigger purse if there is a rematch.

There's probably a rematch clause on the contract and it depends on how things turn out in the first fight and the purse split could be very much different from the purse split in their first fight, I just feel it should be 50/50 as they are both champions but Spence having three belts is a big reason why he should have the edge and about the A-side, they are both on the A side but after the fight one of them will not be.

Both camps are intelligent enough to include a rematch clause in their deal because this is an undisputed fight and a once in a blue moon mega fight, also a rematch will only be interested to see if the fight will end up in a fair decision but if it's dominated by Spence or Crawford then I think that clause won't be enough to sell the fight big again. I really think that Crawford is already comfortable in his 40% share because of the facts that has been said above and Spence can bring more food to the table.

That is a big possibility for them to have a rematch clause and I guess it's good to include it. Right, the rematch could be very much different, purse split, revenue gates and others.

And it's just we are thinking what keep the fight? they have the date in November, and with this kind of  magnitude, they can get any venue they can get in the America. Last Vegas, Atlantic City anything that has a gambling and huge casino because come fight night there will be a lot of whales who is going to watch and obviously will gamble in any hotel casinos.

I think it's not just a big possibility but surely a rematch clause will be included even though they won't release that kind of detail publicly and because this is an undisputed fight and a mega-fight that both camps wouldn't want to miss especially the golden profits they could reap. Also, the rematch would be much different depending on who will have the most belt, so of course that holder will be at the A-side and it might be Spence or Crawford and the purse split will be different too. Either way, we will know soon as for now they haven't made a public announcement yet.
1823  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: 2023 NBA Season on: August 19, 2022, 04:40:38 PM
I agree, Kyrie and KD could be gone tomorrow, or they will not be gone at all, and we do not have any idea until it happens. I still think that fully healthy Nets for a whole year could end up being great. Last year, at the start of the season the talks were about Lakers vs Nets finals, with harden instead of Simmons obviously, we all saw the result of that.

Harden has left, Simmons is injured, Kyrie and vaccination etc etc all destroyed Nets, and Lakers having one of the worst years of both AD and Westbrook together caused them to be terrible too. So I am not expecting the thing this year, it is going to be a revenge year for Lakers, and Nets could stay healthy and be a lot better if they stay together.
Well... reading this post came to my mind... could the Nets be different this season and could they become a strong and competitive team to beat the Warriors!!? (or another team???).

I mean if both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant reverse their requests to be traded away from Brooklyn, I could see this team being very good with another year under their belts as well as having time to gel with Ben Simmons. But whether they can beat the Warriors or not I’m not too sure. I think if they all play to their fullest abilities and stay healthy, they could..Durant is a top 3 player on the planet and Kyrie is top 10..so that should be enough for them to compete with anyone.

I don’t know if that’s going to happen. I suspected they would return and the Nets would go on like the trade requests never happened. However, I just read an article that claimed Durant said that he would rather retire then play another game for the Nets. I guess we’ll see soon enough. With only a couple months left until Durant is expected to suit up, we could have another Ben Simmons situation on our hands.

Kevin Durant already cleared the issue and he said that it wasn't true at all and he even don't know why the people keeps on believing a non-reputable sites about his situation and keeps on making story rather than sticking to the facts. So that said, I guess it wasn't really at all, I mean he is not that dumb enough to retire rather than play for the Nets this coming season because that would really mean that his career would be over and he will be remembered as a great player but a big headed. Surely he doesn't want that.

Ya, I saw the tweet he made where he was calling that rumor BS.  That was the first time I saw KD suggesting that he may return to the Nets this upcoming season.  With no movement on Kyrie and Ben Simmons being a total mystery, it's starting to look like the Nets may have a big 3 come the start of the season.  I do like that Vegas bumped up the odds for Phoenix to get KD, making Phoenix and Boston tied for likely destinations for Durant.  I think it would be a horrible move for either team to trade for him as far as their future goes, but it would be one hell of an exciting season for whoever gets him.

Maybe because Durant knew that his chances to be traded before the season starts is now much slimmer compared to the day when he first expressed his agenda that he wanted to be traded for Heat or Suns, Simmons on the other hand will be wearing the same jersey but I hope that this time, he already solved his mental issues because he needed to play for the team if he still wanted to be an NBA player.
1824  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 19, 2022, 03:42:07 PM
But if Canelo will win this time then he can chose to move down or move up and challenge any boxer in light-heavy before he decides to have a rematch against Bivol as Bivol already said that he's not interesting to fight Canelo in a non-title fight.

If I remember it right about Canelo's contract this year, he is about to face 3 fighters this year until 1Q next year, Dmitry Bivol, Gennady Golovkin, and I don't know who is the 3rd possible fighter. After this trilogy, it's not recommended by Canelo's camp to meet Bivol right away and ask for a rematch as they think Canelo is not ready yet to face Bivol. Much worst if Canelo will lose this trilogy as his chance for a rematch against Bivol will now become slimmer.

For now, let's wait for the result of this trilogy fight. Just around a month to go and we will now see this fight that was hoped for years.

Right, I'm also curious who will be that 3rd boxer be that Canelo has to fight this year or in the 1st quarter next year. But it's too early to tell and make some speculation about that as Canelo is in a bad situation recently, and he surely want to win this fight because he cannot afford what will happen to his career if he will have a back to back loss. This trilogy is a must win for Canelo but it's also a must win for GGG to tie the score of their long standing rivalry. Let's see about that next month.
1825  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 18, 2022, 04:49:08 PM
Jerwin is seems a good boxer in Philippines Boxing rematch . Jerwin plying seance 2014 it means 8 years including this year. Although the game has not yet started this year.  But the game is going to start after a couple  months.i think  Jerwin can show a better performance in this year also.

It will be a challenging match for Jerwin Ancajas but also another opportunity for him to prove himself in the ring and establish a good name in the boxing industry. I've watched some of his previous matches and I must say that he has huge potential but we can't deny the fact that Martinez is also a tough boxer.
Jerwin Ancajas is a good name in the Philippine Boxing industry . And I see their potential of winning this time. but Fernando Martinez also a good boxer . Winning with them will also be a tough task . but here also looks like Jerwin Ancajas will win

He was a champion, got dethrone when Martinez beat him, so he is not trying to reclaim his belt, this rematch is a must win for him, otherwise, he cannot be a champion anymore in the same division and he has to move up in weight.

It literally means the same because winning in this rematch means that Ancajas can have that belt again and he will be a champion as well, that's just a simple mistake that cost Ancajas his throne but I bet that this time will be a much different scenario because this time, Ancajas will come prepared as he will train for Martinez.  The latter might be difficult to overcome but I believe Ancajas can still do it.
1826  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing]: Shakur Stevenson vs Robson Conceicao - Sept 23 on: August 18, 2022, 04:26:49 PM
^^ Yes, this is also my point, boxing politics, it just frustrate us boxing fans that this managers and promoters are not giving us the fight that we wanted to see, because after all boxing is business and these people wanted more money, like Bob Arum's style of having fights in-house so that all money will be his and his boxers. So this is going to huge if the fight are going to be made in the future, specially if both of them remain unbeaten and still both champions.

These are promoters' cash cows and they don't want to kill their cash cow so they cherry-picked opponents for their favorite champion, Crawford made the right decision getting out of Bob Arum he cannot give him legacy fights like the one he is working for against his arch-rival Spence, boxers like Canelo who is a free agent is getting the good fights that he wants because he gets rid of these kinds of promoters.

That's already natural in this industry because promoters will try and tease the people first to make some hype before making the fight to reality, along the way the promoters will let their boxers defeat all possible foes first that they think won't stand a chance for their boxers. And for Crawford's case, let's not forget that Bob is also an important factor in why he reached the position he had now but Crawford's mistake is that he waited long enough before he leaves Bob even though he already knows that Bob doesn't care for his legacy.

That has been the strategy of Bob Arum over the years. He focuses mostly on how to make money from the boxers that he handles. However, we shouldn't unlike or hate him for that because he also does his part for boxers to create and establish a good career and name in the industry. It's just quite unfair for boxers who are being used and dragged down just to raise the career of their boxers.

That is a part of the game, if they don't want to be used as an additional trophy in other boxers then they should improve their performance so that they will be the ones who will be using other boxers rather than being used. Makes sense, right?
We may hate Bob Arum for his tricks that might be unfair for his own boxers but he is good at making money while his boxers are also takes some benefit of that style. Truth is that Arum has made plenty boxers to be a big name in the industry and we can't deny that.

1828  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: Tips on How to Manage Gambling Addiction an Open Discussion. on: August 17, 2022, 06:11:42 PM
In my opinion it is very difficult to quit gambling if you constantly think about them.  So no matter how nice words of support it is very difficult to fight gambling addiction when the theme is filled with advertising signatures of sites that provide services in the field of gambling. In my opinion a person who wants to get rid of gambling addiction immediately need to turn off the visibility of the signatures or even refuse to read such topics.
Perhaps all a person has to do to get him to think about gambling is to occupy himself with doing other things that have nothing to do with gambling. Reducing his activities in gambling can also help him avoid the urge to play gambling because his time has been used to do other activities and keep him busy every day. Even though he could still access the internet through his cell phone, he wouldn't think about gambling if he continued to do his job well. But it is not easy to do that, especially if he is addicted to gambling.
As long as you are still connected to the Internet or access to offline casinos is still within reach, it will be very difficult for you to give up the habit of gambling. What we are talking about here about ADDICTED, obviously anyone who is addicted is very difficult to stop gambling.
When the gambler dopamine starts to work, it is directly linked to changes in emotional state, the emotional urge to gamble will continue to increase if the desire is not channeled. Looking for a busy life by doing other things can only reduce the habit of gambling, but cannot eliminate the habit of gambling 100%.
That's why I said he should start a new habit that can keep him busy and start forgetting about gambling. When you are addicted, you have to start realizing that something is wrong with you and by listening to what people around you say, you can begin to find out what is wrong. After that, you must have the INTENTION and EFFORT to change. Without INTENTION and EFFORT, you will not change. Try to look at other ADDICTION cases, they can change if they have INTENTION and Effort. That's what addicted gamblers have to realize.

Acceptance is also a part of the process that you are already classified as an addicted gambler in the society and after that seeking some professional help is really advisable for you because that would really help you ease your situation and give you some supplements or what to do about it. Aside from that, surrounding your self with a different environment will help you forget that habit and starting a new healthy habit is also a must.

1830  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Canelo vs Golovkin 3 - September 17 on: August 16, 2022, 11:09:51 PM

I quite remember that almost nobody, including me, thought that Bivol can really defeat and upset Canelo who is the heavy favorite at that time because we know that Canelo has already defeated one boxer in light-heavy. We also made some speculations that Bivol is kind of unfocused because his family was left in Russia when the war broke out. But Bivol proved to us that he can still successfully defend his belt given the situation he's on.

Sooner or later, Canelo and Bivol will again face each other for a rematch because super-middle is a kind of boring division to Canelo as he's already undisputed at the said division.

Very possible, he (Canelo) will collect his paycheck first from this division after facing GGG,

He already understands that fame will be followed by lots of money. He will be using his fame now just like the way
Mayweather did before retiring.

My point is Canelo and his camp will explore again after this fight and like how you predicting things, I agree that sooner
or later, he might be asking for a rematch against Bivol.

but for now, i want to see how will canelo perform opposite GGG. if in case he will lose from this fight, it is not the end of his boxing career. he may really ask for the re-match with bivol. as he already knew the power of bivol, he should know how to prepare for this fight to redeem himself, if he can really defeat bivol this time around. anyway, am looking forward for canelo and GGG's match. canelo is still the favourite here though.

Indeed, he is still the favorite as ore fans believes that Canelo can still beat GGG.

Bookies still favoring Canelo as they used in each fight that he has ever since he beat GGG, it's a good preparation
to bring the hype back and redeem himself after that defeat by Bivol.

He can use moving back to that same division and call for the rematch or he can explore for other options that he has
while he is still young and in his prime age.

I already anticipated that Canelo will still be the favorite in the bookies list this time but I expect that this time, Canelo won't have some help from the judges because this might be their final match, so a just and clean fight is really needed this time especially for GGG's situation.

But if Canelo will win this time then he can chose to move down or move up and challenge any boxer in light-heavy before he decides to have a rematch against Bivol as Bivol already said that he's not interesting to fight Canelo in a non-title fight.
1831  Economy / Gambling discussion / Re: [Boxing] Fernando Martinez vs Jerwin Ancajas rematch - Oct.8 on: August 16, 2022, 10:46:22 PM
I'm rooting for Ancajas, hoping he will be a champ again.
No odds yet, but for sure Ancajas will be the underdog but a slight underdog only. If you believe that he will bounce back after a big loss, then I'm sure you would be happy seeing an odds high than +200 as definitely that's what you will be seeing as it will be available.

The first fight odds.  (result was a huge upset)
Quote
Fernando Martinez +400
Jerwin Ancajas -600

https://www.sportsbetlistings.com/boxing/jerwin-ancajas-vs-fernando-daniel-martinez-betting-odds-and-prediction/18025/

I agree with you mate, for sure Ancajas will be the slight underdog in this rematch and this may a good opportunity for all Ancajas' supporters to place their bets as he will be giving his all in this fight to take back the belt once he owned.

The fight will happen two months from now and per history, bookies will place the odds for the fight of this magnitude three to two days before it happens.

What do you think, will Ancajas get his revenge and bring back the belt to the Philippines or Martinez will dominate him again? I want to put some spare money for Ancajas though but I'm not that really sure if he can really manage after I looked into their first encounter because it seems that Ancajas was really struggling. I'll be happy to know your thoughts about this mate Grin

I have a gut feeling that Ancajas would avenge his loss but it is not going to be easy as Martinez is now very confident after beating him. The only aspect that i see why Ancajas lost that fight is he was a victim of a replacement spell  Grin. He was training for Ioka but suddenly he was replaced so the mindset of Ancajas might have been affected and he might also taken for granted the capability of Martinez as he was fighting in the lower division than him.

Bottomline, I would be rooting for Ancajas because of his talent, he would not be called the Pretty Boy of the Philippines for nothing and also Philippines needs someone like him to raised the flag of the nation in boxing but then again it would not be an easy path to glory.

Really? I didn't know that, I mean I know Jerwin Ancajas because he is from Cebu but I didn't had the chance to follow his fights and haven't know that Martinez was only a replacement for Ioka.

Now, that paints the picture more clearly why Ancajas was defeated in the first place because part of the reason is that he's preparing for Ioka and not for Martinez. I believe that he will successfully avenge his loss in their first encounter and maybe after that we can have some speculations that these two will have a trilogy and that would be fun to watch.


Actually Ancajas is not from Cebu though he is a bisdak but he came from General Santos if I'm not mistaken, mate. I also don't remember if he was once based in Cebu because if you are a champion boxer and based in Cebu, every little thing that happens to your life will be in the local news here but i have not heard anything about him locally  Smiley.

Yup, i have this feeling that he would avenge his loss but just be careful not to put much money on him because we never know the outcome. It's a good thing though that he would be the underdog now because even if we put a small amount, it will win a bit bigger unlike if he is the favorite.

Yes, my bad because I thought he was born and raised in Cebu Grin but based on boxrec he was born and raised in Panabo City, Davao del Norte as well as wiki.

Anyway back to the fight, I would still support and believe in him that he can avenge his loss this time around. He just made some mistake and Martinez in his first title fight managed to upset the champion. Just like Ugas vs Pacquiao back at the day because the latter expected to fight Spence Jr.

And yet we are still waiting for Crawford vs Spence?

But I do agree, Floyd did it, becoming his own manager and I think he set the bar very high when he get out of Bob Arum's contract. And that's where he become Money Mayweather and now fighters are trying to duplicate that blueprint. And so far only Canelo is successful I would say. Not sure if Crawford can do that, he is no longer young, I mean he need to act fast to be able to make millions by his own before he retire.

Yup, there's still no update about that fight yet and I don't even know why takes them so long to announce it if it can happen this year.

There's a lot of boxers who tried to copy Floyd's book as Mayweather is truly clever enough to get the fight he wants and prolong some fights with hypes especially if he's at the disadvantage side. As for Crawford, Bob Arum turned him blind that time and maybe the latter promised Crawford some promising fights for his legacay because he re-signed another contract at that time.

That might some of them have value and are needed by the community but the majority of them are just a clone and they will die soon.
It wasn't wise to choose them for long-term investment as they are just held short-term. Hypes projects won't stay long, that was the reality and these metaverses are an example.

What I see from this OP is you have based the trading view, not on your exchange, that for sure it was not the same. But it was not surprising knowing that it was obviously the set price doesn't hit yet, because if that already happens, profit will reflect on your wallet and it appears no active trades. But as you can see, nothing happens it means that it was not yet sold at the specific price.

You are somewhat got fool by the apps you have used or that might the exchanges deny the sell input you have made, or you have mistaken to input the price. There's a lot of factors making this happen and you have to find it out.

The fight is really impressive, even though I put bets on Campa (that is taking advantage of the huge odds difference between the two),  I don't mind losing because the fight is really good.  Lopez's performance has brought him back to the game.  I think he will be calling title fights now since he really performs well and his performance is the talk of the news and social media.  Hopefully we can see a title fight before the year-end.

"We want Josh Taylor," Lopez said. "We want these guys. We want (Regis) Prograis. We want (Jose) Zepeda. We want all the belts. We want to become two-time undisputed champion."

The bookies are right this time around because the odds for Lopez here was really low.
So Lopez should strike while the iron is hot and look for belt to snatch on next.
Maybe, another fight this year or before the year ends and let us see which belt he is eyeing next.


The betting is not interesting if you go for Lopez ML, but choosing which round range Campa will be KO would make it exciting. Whoever choose the rounds 7-10 won their bets on this game and I'm pretty sure it's more than +300.

He had been thru a lot, and now he took over the fight fair and square.
He is back now, the champion should consider him as a serious threat.

Well, good to see it was accepted and listed on another exchange but the question is if people are still buying this meme coin. Because even though it was listed in hundred exchanges but investors had looked into the potentiality of the project, not because it was listed anywhere, even in all exchanges. Might it capture the attention of the community but I was not sure if this creates additional hypes and increase the numbers of its investors. Though I can't assume, I know people are been careful with these meme coins.

snip...

holding is also not guaranteed to make a lot of profit in the long run, although there is a real chance that you will make a profit, when it comes to altcoins, I would say that you don't need to rush and think that your altcoins will not go up in price, they will may go up in price in the future, but the real problem is that they may not go up much in price, this is because most altcoins are facing a lot of competition, which means that many altcoins no longer have many investors, so as a consequence of long term altcoin can't reach its ATH, it can't even reach almost 70% of its ATH and I'm talking about the altcoin price in relation to USD, because in relation to BTC, altcoins are very low, which means that are causing a lot of damage
That I'd rather choose BTC and ETH for long-term holding and consider altcoins for short-term. BTC and ETH were known for their profitability, unlike the other altcoins that as it goes long-term the price goes down. Yes, it was to see how the competition makes changes on its trend but most of all, these scam projects had a huge influence on why investors have lost faith in altcoins to hold, instead they sell them once seeing some profit.

Teofimo Lopez is back and the takeover style has come back the ref stops the fight in round 7 because Campa cannot defend himself anymore, Teofimo is very calm from the opening bell, no eagerness in his fight he looks for Campa's weakness and let his speed and power do the talking, this is the Lopez that we used to see, there's a big gap in skill and fight was fully dominated by Lopez, I guess Lopez is now ready to take over the 140 division now with this win.

It was just a one-man show when he dominated his opponent in the early rounds and finally, the ref stop it because it was too much for Campa to take all those power punches that always landed in his face. Lopez is really back because he just show us a fight that he had been having when he was winning knockouts throughout his career his precision and accuracy are still the best. I think he is ready for another title match after this and gonna make a lot of fighters in their division struggle.

Exactly, as expected, it's a one-man show as it was cherry-picked to make Lopez look good, if only he fought a caliber fighter, it would be more exciting to watch but let's hope Lopez will have a tougher challenger in his next fight, if it's against the champion, that would be even better.

Draymond Green doesn't have a lot of option and surely he doesn't have the power to demand the table and make the team offer him a max contract because he is not that kind of huge asset, he'll be lucky if the Warriors will still keep him despite his situation. He should know that he isn't like LBJ or CP3 who will be chased by any team because of the numbers they could bring in the team, Green is different because he is not a play maker.

Draymond Green obviously shouldn't be hoping that the Warriors or any other team will offer him a maximum contract. By the way, his current contract will expire after next season, and he will still have a player option for an extension until the end of the 23/24 season. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if he takes this player option as it is unlikely that anyone will offer him a higher salary than $27,5 mln.

Even that figure is a little bit high for Draymond Green now, I think that he'll only sell out to a $20-$25 Million annually for a 4-year extension and nothing more than that but that is if there's a team in the league right now who's willing to pay him that kind of amount. Nonetheless, Draymond still have a chance to prove his worthiness this coming season and I don't doubt that he'll push himself more to produce more so that he'll end up getting an extension at the end of the 22-23 season.

I do think people are starting to realise that Cancelo isn't this unstoppable force now. Everyone talks about how his power is the best in the business, but I've never really seen it honestly. I've seen some decent amount of tactical thinking from him, but that's been when he has been losing the fight, which is great. However, his power is only slightly above average I'd say in his division. If like you say, he moves up he doesn't keep that power to weight ratio, he seems to lose a bit of it.

That's the thing, he was an undisputed champion in his division before and we didn't notice his power because he is not a strong starter, he is only a good finisher but sometimes his opponent can survive even if they lose the fight. With this fight against GGG, he has not hurt GGG yet but he won the last fight, so let's see if they can really hurt GGG and maybe KO him which IMO unlikely to happen.

Well his fight with GGG is full of controversy, this controversy outshines Canelo's achievement because he shouldn't be undisputed without the help of ringside judges.  Take for example his first fight with GGG which is so obvious that GGG should have won the fight but instead,  the two judges favor Canelo by giving a draw and an unbelievable score of 118 - 110 in favor of Canelo.

I don't even know where he got that much connection to make the judges favor him because GGG was also a superstar in the division compared to Canelo that time. Is from his promoter? We don't know but that unjust scores robbed GGG because the fight was ended a draw just like what you said and then there's this rematch that is also a controversial fight because the judges again made some magic touch to stretch Canelo's scores.

That time, Canelo already know that couldn't risk his record for an early trilogy because their first two fights was already controversial and he knows that there will be much more eyes that will watch the fight that's why he chose to defend his belt against Fielding rather than giving Golovkin a tirlogy.
