So when they face someone that's some offensive juggernaut, all they have to do is slow-down the pace by excessive clinching with a defensive minded approach to not give many openings.... then in a slow round, it automatically goes to them. there's this sentiment that they are winning because they got the offensive opponent to fight at their pace.
This is why offensive fighters don't age well like Pac. They could still very well win a fight with their actual skills.... but the noticeable decline in their physical attributes give the impression they are losing. Oh how come he can't blast him like he did Margarito doe?
Same emotional phenom with GGG/Jacobs. Oh he couldn't even hurt Jacobs this round. So I'll give the round to Jacobs.
They set the expectations too high. at the cost of entertaining fans and being real fighters.
It truly is unfortunate that boxing Is A Sport Judged On Emotions.
