Was this the point where GGG knew he could not hurt Canelo?

    I think GGG felt Canelos power, which is why he was reluctant to throw anything but a jab

      Even the jabs got blocked partially when they landed. Canelo did a great job defensively against a pressure fighter. GGG is going to really pressure in the rematch.

        Canelo actually took a fair bit of the sting out of that punch with his slight head movement backwards. He rode it well, but in a subtle manner.

            It didn't matter. Canelo retreated all night and was never in control. 8-4 GGG

              This could be said about any boxer in any boxing match anywhere. You can do better than this.

              The right punch on the chin, doesn't even have to be that hard. The physiology behind it will end in a KO.

              Canelo and GGG are durable good fighters. Great fight.

                I'm saying it wasn't a clean punch, not sure what you came away with but alas I do have a forum thread crediting Canelo with his whiskers in literally the first sentence of a very long post.
