    Was GGG instructed to not go to the body

    Was there a backdoor deal put in place we didn't know about?

    GGG throwed 3 body shots to Canelo body in which we all know that's one of his trademark punches...

    Any thoughts?

    He was scared to get countered up stairs. He knew he would get countered every time

      Working the body opens you to counters more than jabs and crosses to the head

        This. It was very obvious.

          I think he didn't want to get countered up stairs. Same as to why he didn't rush in when Canelo was on the ropes, due to Canelo being a real good counter puncher.

          Canelo looked to fatigue somewhat in the middle rounds when GGG stepped up the pressure. It would of been interesting to have seen how some body work would have added to that.

            It was probably a smart move not to. Canelo would have got more counters off.

            We saw them score rounds for Canelo that he clearly didn't win. They would have given him even more if GGG give him more chances to counter.

                He was getting countered anyway so that should've made a difference.

                  In boxing you can't always do the things you originally wanted to do. The opportunity didn't present itself. It was easy with his past opponents because it was there.

                    well i think he did good and smart enough to avoid counter, but he's slow puncher which is why canelo dodged most of his attacks
