Man I must say I was more impressed with Canelo's boxing skill then GGG's.
Aside from Canelo's running that is.
How can a man who won a silver medal at the games look so bad by missing so many shots?
If he would of worked the body even a little I bet he would of stopped Canelo.
I was yelling at the t.v. "Work the body man work the body!"
You would think someone of his pedigree would know that, and what about Able?
Where was his world class training advice in the corner?
I think GGG got old and was perhaps a little overrated.
I enjoyed the fight
He's just fighting better opposition is all. That's what happens when you aren't fighting literal punching bags.
Canelo was faster, stronger, more accurate, more diverse, and generally a better fighter except for boxing IQ. He was inconsistent and allowed Golovkin to get momentum. I don't know if that would change in a rematch. It's like Tommy Hearns. Doesn't matter how good you are if you make bad decisions.
I don't know it wasn't out of necessity. I'm of the opinion he had to take breaks or he wouldn't have made it to the end of the fight. He's always had to do that, even vs subpar opposition.

Golovkin will pummel him in a rematch. I think the nerves got to him in the early rounds he started slow. In the rematch he'll start quicker and it'll end for Canelo.

He's a very good fighter. But he never really fought quality competition. He pressured well tonight, but his power isn't great vs elite fighters. And he never challenged himself by going to 168.
