The way he got that KD was by being patient. He wasn’t going for the KO because he was conserving energy and fighting his own fight. Not the fans fight or Garcia’s fight.
Notice after the round where Garcia hurt him with a temple shot, Garcia came out swinging for the fences, and actually punched himself out. Campbell was too unsteady to capitalize on that though. I was shouting at the tv and telling my girl that Garcia is going to punch himself out if he doesn’t calm down, and he did exactly that. Campbell knows better, he’s a veteran. He felt the punch will be there again but it wasn’t. Why? If you notice Garcia saw the left hand coming every time after that, he was stepping back and out of range of the left. The kid is a smart fighter and adapts well. He likely will be like Canelo and never actually get credit for any win.
Canelo was hurt badly vs Jose Cotto and all of his critics wanted the 19 year old to get KO’ed and have been praying for his downfall for over a decade now. It’s ridiculous how terrible fans are towards young boxers.
