fanboys now acting like canelo was lighting golovkin up

[Mr Objecitivity]

Landing a combo, powerful shoeshine.

Fair enough! In that case, yes, Canelo did 'light up' Golovkin occasionally. However, I don't see why that is something to be too impressed with in the context of the whole fight holistically.

And? He still landed the cleaner harder punches. You don't get extra points for having a good chin and eating them.

Of course you do. It means your opponent has nothing to throw at you to make you back up.
And why was Canelo stopped in his tracks and backing away from GGG's jabs for most of the fight?

Golovkin landed more punches and none of them hurt Canelo, that means more points for Canelo using this tards logic.

[Mr Objecitivity]

Professional boxing is about HURTING the opponent, unlike in amateur boxing where merely making contact is enough. HURTING the opponent is part of what makes a punch EFFECTIVE. If a punch doesn't hurt or effect an opponent in any other way, then that punch isn't an effective punch.

In the fight, Golovkin's punches were effecting Canelo Alvarez more than vice versa. Golovkin also landed more of those punches. Thus, Golovkin won the fight in the effective punching department.
