So missed punches in boxing count as points. I don't care if GGG missed a 1000 punches in his last 2 he still won. Begging for a draw and rounds and you're supposed be a champ. Go out and ern it. Stop fucin begging and paying off judges like Byrd.Comment

Effective aggression inly works if your actually landing punches and not swinging at the airComment

Fantastic breakdown!!!Canelo probably thought he was going to get the hometown decision-all he to do was be slick, defensive, fight in pockets and not get KO'd.
With the bizarre change or slowing down of GGG's usual ability to throw excellent combinations, especially to the body as well as his recent style of cutting off the ring well, pressuring opponents well..but then seemingly going into absent-minded land, where it appears he's either too tentative to let his hands go or is doing that fatal thing that top fighters sometimes do: searching for that one KO punch we saw Canelo play it safe against an opponent who didn't seem close to even hurting Alvarez, but he still continued to move in and out of range, keeping G off balance.
Perhaps if Canelo had really taken it to Gennady then we would have seen a real back and forth war- by virtue that Golovkins boxing skills are terribly under-rated, and Canelo's got all the skills necessary except for exceptionally fleet-footedness, but everything else: great defense, offense, upper body movement, improving footwork, power, speed and an untested granite chin.
Cinco de Mayo is a long time away, and I get the feeling Canelo won't be as intimidated or as cautious this time around, which means GGG needs to realize he needs to get back to letting his hands go: the only way he can sink Canelo is with body shots.(Someone said GGG only threw about 7-8 body shots in their first encounter, which is bewildering for a guy with such a talent for going to the body).Comment
