Clean punching is the only real criteria judges focus on my friend, and that is a good thing...all that matters in a boxing match is who is landing more and who is landing better punches...and that is all judges are looking for...the other things you mentioned can help get you in position, but boxing is hit and don't get hit...and if you aren't landing on the opponent nothing else matters.
And I mentioned jabs/stamina/workrate because those factors enabled him to land on Canelo, and land a lot of scoring shots on Canelo...in truth he landed many more shots on Canelo in each fight than Canelo landed on him.
Of course fights are judged round by round, and there were some rounds where GGG outlanded Canelo by a few punches, but Canelo probably imo landed the best shot/shots of the round...this maybe negated GGG's number superiority in those rounds, and imo made those tight rounds.
But generally GGG was outlanding Canelo round in and round out, and often time GGG was actually landing the best shot or shots of those rounds, which would, I think we should all agree, make those quite clear rounds for GGG.
It is honestly hard to believe that after getting outlanded 10-1-1 (1 tie) in fight 1, rd by rd, that some can really say that fight was very close...and even fight 2 was 8-3-1 for GGG in rd by rd stats...I don't always cite compubox as I sometimes disagree with their numbers, but I generally was seeing the same things in those fights.
That GGG was just outlanding Nelo almost every round, and Canelo had very few, if any, clear rounds in either fight, where he landed quite a few more shots than GGG and also landed the better shots of the round...just never really happened from what I saw.
I know you are a big Canelo fan and that's cool...I guess as fans sometimes we can see what we want to see...but I just scratch my head a bit sometimes when fans try to rationalize bad cards/decisions...as I said, no shame in Canelo coming out 2nd best to GGG, GGG is a great great fighter...and Canelo fought well in both fights, his first at 160...he should be proud..but yeah I don't think he really came close to winning either one.Comment

I can give the rounds I gave to each guy, I think from memory, in both fights...it has been talked about so much that I am pretty sure I remember them.
In any event, when you get outlanded 10-1-1 in a fight...you should feel very fortunate really to get 4 rounds...and when you get outlanded 8-3-1, 4 rounds is probably about what you deserve there as well.
As those numbers suggest...I had 5 clear rounds for GGG in each fight...and 7 close rounds, 4 of which I swung to Nelo in each fight.
No shame imo for Nelo to lose to GGG...they were his first fights at 160 and he fought well and gave GGG, an ATG at MW, his best fights ever...he should be commended for that imo...but no he didn't win and was not really close imo.Comment

Canelo outboxed and bested GGG in the second fight. Golovkin was so humiliated he ran to the locker room crying before even giving an interview.Comment
