Let's set it up then since the certain bunch of people will only create this type of thread If It was Golovkin who fought Liam Smith like last night.
Gennady Golovkin (C) Vs. Kell Brook
Kell landed at a fairly not bad rate but this is an opponent who GGG walked down and didn't bother with defending against

So 300 punches thrown in just 5 rounds only 80 punches landed against Golovkin lets compare that with Canelo's fight with Liam Smith
Liam Smith (C) Vs. Canelo Alvarez
Liam was for a good portion of the fight was backing Canelo Alvarez up and landing nice little combos but similar to Kell he was landing but not hurting his man however unlike Kell, Liam had absolutely no snap to his shot

So 400 punches from both men at round 9 this isn't a fight that was by any means fought at a fast pace, Liam landed over 100 punches and miraculously Canelo never felt the effects of draining his body from 20-30lbs thus remained with his power late on in the fight, strange one that isn't it?
So from the comparison of both stats we can tell that Liam Smith was at times actually landing more punches in some rounds whereas Golovkin was always landing more.
What I do find funny is that HBO unwillingness to give Smith any props or any rounds when he clearly deserve one or two of them but nope Harold Lederman was instructed to do what Golden Boy wanted him to do.
Liam Smith was more successful than Kell Brook was against Golovkin, how about that then yet nobody wants to talk about Canelo being exposed?
