Comments Thread For: De La Hoya: All GGG Does Is Come Forward; Canelo More Skillful

[Shadoww702]

Yep, and we all know missing a punch counts as a point for the other guy. Canelo 12-0

Saunders made Lemuix wiff a lot also. Did you score the fight for Lemuix since he missed so badly but still kept coming forward???

[Shadoww702]

Lemuix called Saunders a runner also.

Effective Aggression is not just coming forward missing 500 times. AND most of those misses was Canelo just moving his head.

All GGG does is come forward? It's called waliking you down lol

Facts........

You kidding? GGG 345-5 amateur record, Olympic medalist, undefeated middleweight king with almost every belt... yes sounds like a limited fighter to me.

Canelo went life and death with Lara, schooled by Floyd, and has had multiple controversial wins.

And with all that, Canelo was the more skilled fighter in the ring in the first fight.

Well in Da la Hoya's logic Canelo can't be that good, GGG clearly won the first fight so for a fighter that just plods forward Canelo can't be that good. Oscar should think before he speaks maybe to many punches to the head.

When Clenela is unable to get up off of the canvas to beat the 10 count, I want to hear what coke la hoya is going to say. How is he going to spin it? I'll certainly have my popcorn handy because it's going to be a can't miss interview for sure.

Very true statement by Oscar. All ggg did was come forward. He didn't even throw body punches and wouldn't or couldn't cut off the ring. Canelo controlled the pace of the fight. Canelo made ggg miss all night and had him punching the wind. Canelo landed the cleaner shots and Canelo landed the higher punch percentage and higher body punches.

GGG Outlander Canelo 218 to 169 overall and landed more in 10 of 12 rounds. I will take that over a higher percentage any day.

MY man no disrespect but your comment makes little to no sense. Because in those “brief moments” Canelo managed to throw more power punches at a much higher connect percentage. What was GGG “idiotic” strategy, no body punches? cut the ring off but not throw punches when Canelo is on the ropes? Win the fight by only throwing jabs? Just discussing. Again no disrespect

that's a fair comment. Golovkin landed more punches over all in the fight and in 10 of the 12 rounds. He also was the aggressor and had Canelo on the ropes or backing up for the majority of the fight. A jab whether people like it or not is a scoring punch. Ever hear of a guy named Larry Holmes? He's won plenty of fights primarily on his jab. Golovkin landed power punches also it wasn't just the jab. His jab backed up Canelo and put him on the ropes. To me and most people that shows the jab had an effect on Canelo. On the other hand Canelo best punches usually did not halt Golovkin's forward progress or force him to change his game plan. How many times did you see Canelo cut off the ring on Golovkin because he was going back. Never. How often did you see Golovkin trapped on the ropes? Golovkin is being demoted when he may or may not have cut off the ring while Canelo gets credit for never putting Golovin in the position of backpedaling. Come on its ridiculous.

Opinion and hearsay.... The record books state what happened. The same way the record books state the first fight between Canelo & GGG was a draw.

You do know wikipedia and the like are edited and full of wrong information...right ? ive actually heard his real Am record was actually 5 wins 345 losses...this guy is the most manufactured 'star' ive EVER seen!
