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

If Nell a body shotswere so powerful why was Ggg still outworking Nell in 12th riund?

A lot of them werent landing. When he landed clean you could see tells on golovkin. Roy jones was calling every bodypunch by canelo as a landed bomb, most of the time it didnt land flush and was stifled/smothered.

Look at clip below Canelo backing GGG up landing vicious power shots to body and face while almost everything GGG throws picked off and the times he most of the times he did land they weren't clean or nothing but arm punches with no power

Canelo shows GGG how to fight mexican style from r/Boxing

It's simple GGG jabs aren't doing as much punishment as canelo power shots it ain't rocket science.
Power > Jabs.

Watching the fight, it seemed like something kept jerking Canelo's head back, probably some kind of nervous tic or something.

Jabs doe lol

You think that left hook slap did more damage than the Golovkin jab I posted?

That tells us all we need to know then.

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??

If Golovkin jab was as weak as you say Canelo would have walked right through them. Didn't see that happening. Golovkin is 36 years old and has huge amounts of fights. Its not unusual for a fighter that age to swell up. And yes he got hit plenty.

Because Golovkin lost both fights in actuality. His pitty patter jab was his only offense against a faster and smarter Alvarez.

Jabs doe lol

Crappy weak assed slapping hook by Canelo. Didn't land flush and what did land was with the inside of the glove. LOL.. Thanks for showing that..

[man down]

Lol this thread is funny. If you're really a boxing fan you would know everyone marks differently. I'm see guys take a beating and look ok at the end of the fight. You ever seen Canelo marked up bad in any other fight?
