      I said 'as it should btw' right after that comment. My comment was giving you a hard time, because GGG outlanded Canelo in virtually every round in each fight, yet you have a different opinion on those fights. They weren't even really close. I can't find one round in either fight where Canelo outlands him clearly or significantly. If you can let me know the round
      judges don't have compu-box or punch counters in their hand/ on the table while juding.

      Canelo looked the better man in the 2nd fight. So even if GGG landed more, it doesn't matter. GGG looked his age and didn't ever establish a rhythm. Made him lose on the eye.

      This is from a person that went for GGG in both fights. I feel he won the first fight though. He disappointed me in the second.

        No. But it did make me see Crawford differently. He is a smart boxer and changed up often (Porter equally changing up made the fight interesting).

        He's better when he can counter and snipe, rather than wing forward. At his core though, his power is still his biggest strength. He lands anywhere and he's instantly changing the outcome of exchanges.

        But if anything, Porter proved that if you pressure Crawford and get on the inside, you can disrupt him, get him uncomfortable, and break him down.

        Porter just didn't have the power to do it. Maybe a guy like Spence can break him down where Porter could not.

          I still have Spence winning but Bud is dangerous, he could be losing every round and still manage to KO you late in the fight. He’s like a skilled Wilder lol.

            Crawford is more of a glass cannon than I thought. He hits hard, but he can be hurt.

              I think everyone is counting punches in their head when scoring a fight man. That includes official judges. Not necessarily each punch, but you have a running tally as the round goes on, as far as who is winning the round and by what margin.

              I disagree strongly with some of those other comments. Canelo-GGG 2 played out much the same as the first fight. Canelo's speed and quickness make the first 4 or so rounds pretty even. Then he starts to slow down, as GGG starts to settle in and pick up his pace. GGG starts to sweep a lot of the middle rounds just based on activity.

              The last few rounds are competitive again once Canelo gets a 2nd wind. Canelo just got outworked in both fights man. It happens. GGG has been a tough matchup for him so far because Canelo isn't as active, and he hasn't been able to hurt or slow down GGG's workrate.

              I think you can make a case GGG was underwhelming in his 4 biggest fights to date - but the only real close one on the cards was vs Sergei. He won the other 3 clean.

                      Two high-level southpaws, the better adapter will win the fight and that's Terence Crawford.
