    Does Gennady Golovkin lack power in his jabs? Why Canelo's face was barely marked?

    In the first bout between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez. Golovkin supposedly out-boxed and out-jabbed Canelo Alvarez by landing more punches, particularly jabs. And Golovkin is considered to be a devastating knock-out artist by majority of his fans and by a vast majority of the members from the boxing community.

    But the million dollar question is, why was the pale skinned face of Canelo Alvarez barely marked or visibly damaged after the fight? Surely, if Golovkin was such a devastating puncher and landed so many jabs on Canelo, Canelo should have had a more visibly damaged and marked up face. Correct? Even more so, considering Canelo's face is relatively pale which means, easier to mark up. But still, Canelo's face was barely marked after the fight and outside of minor scratches (that looked like the scratches a baby would inflict on his father), he looked the same as he looked before the fight.

    So what is it? Either Golovkin is a feather fist and lacks power to inflict damage on opponents like Canelo Alvarez, despite landing as many jabs as he supposedly landed. Or, Golovkin in reality did not out-jab or out-box Canelo Alvarez because he kept missing and failed to connect enough times on Canelo Alvarez's face to visibly mark his pale skinned face enough.

    What was even more alarming, was Golovkin's face being more marked up and visibly damaged than Canelo Alvarez's face.

    This is the pair of them, just after their fight during their respective interviews:



    So if Golovkin really did out-jab and out-box Canelo Alvarez, then why couldn't he inflict more visible damage on Canelo's face, considering his supposed devastating knockout power??

    Cuts and bruises on the skin does not mean damage. Skin is fragile and is easily cut or bruised.

    The brain shaking inside the skull, that is the real damage.

      Maybe you should just go ahead and challenge him and find out for yourself.

            When Golovkin tried to load up he missed badly. He had to shorten his jab and that cut power. Its all he could land. Which is why he's begging fir Canelo to slug with him.

              Rather than Ad Hominem attacks, why don't you answer the valid and legitimate question asked in the thread?

              Or are you threatened that Golovkin is going to be exposed massively, if you are being honest with yourself by answering the questions asked honestly.

                So if skin is fragile and easily cut / bruised, then why couldn't Golovkin cut / bruise the paler face of Canelo Alvarez more than what he did or more than the amount of cut / bruising Canelo inflicted on Golovkin's face? Considering pale skin is easier to cut / bruise?

                So how do you figure which boxer's brain was shaking inside their skull more? Are you inside their heads by any chance?

                  This is the truth that Golovkin fanatics aren't willing to accept. Since they know they'd have to then admit that Golovkin is not very good. Which is something they don't want to do. Hence, they continue lying to themselves to make themselves feel better.
