I had Golovkin winning but he looked like a slob. Poor accuracy, slow, mediocre power. That said, he earned many rounds by being persistent and consistent. Canelo threw away a lot of that fight.

Why Couldn't Triple G Land CLEAN?

He is what he is a tough, limited, one-dimensional pressure fighter.
Does that make him a bad fighter? Absolutely not. Make no mistake hes a very good fighter. He has a very effective style but he is not this monster people have labelled him as. People will still claim he is but lets be real if he was he'd of beat the living daylights out of Jacobs & Canelo.
I have always said he is very limited. Even his jab the supposed best in boxing (I strongly suggest you watch some Ward, Gvodyk, Kovalev etc if you believe that ****) is limited. Its a power jab. Its a very good jab it just lacks variety.
He doesn't stick it to chest or body, he doesn't vary the speed or power, double it up go high-low or know how to bring the hook off of it. He also brings it back to low.
I think that was his main issue. If he stuck that jab in Canelo's chest he'd of stabilised him.
350 amateur fights and whatever he has done as a pro in with a guy with great head movement that is making you miss and you don't target the body? Should tell anybody all they need too know about his boxing brain.
I think he was a better boxer in the amateurs before he hooked up with Abel who constantly vvanks over his power and made him fall in love with it. Abel literally wanted to create Frankensteins monster.
He was more technical in the amateurs. These days he is just a brute that relies on imposing himself and being able to walk through everything to land his power when someone gives him something to think about, a different look he only knows one way and that is to plough forward even more wrecklessly.
It looks good short term but you put him against better opposition that are more durable, giving different looks and so forth you've got problems.

Canelo landed clean uppercuts, bodyshots, right hands, hooks, combos
Why couldn't GGG land clean, Canelo was on the ropes, there for the taking, he even stood in the pocket,
You GGG fan boys need to STFU and stop crying, if i were a judge i would be awarding the guy doing the clean work, not the guy walking forwards like a human punchbag and only throwing a ****ty jab
Canelo landed the more QUALITY punches in each round

Why couldnt Canelo land clean? GGG was in front of him all night yet a lot of his punches were on GGG's arms/gloves or complete misses. Funny how nobody is talking about that

difference in coaching philosophy, imo
Originally posted by kidbazooka View PostIt was funny seeing it unfold.
Canelo would stand infront of him and make him miss a combination then counter with a combination of his own and ggg just looked completely lost.
He threw very very sloppy punches and his jab was slow and ugly.
But ggg was the guy with over 350 amateur fights and thr gold medalist yet you wudda thought it was the other way around.
Golovkin has been done a disservice, imo, by Abel Sanchez. Golovkin likely had a style from the amateurs, and for his first 20 or so fights, you could see that style being adapted for the pro game.
Abel Sanchez comes in, convinces Golovkin that he needs Abel's style for success, and basically abandons what he'd been developing for "Mexican style" (going through all of those soft touches didn't help).
Golovkin gets put in with love bodies, Abel's style doesn't fit as well as they'd been pushing, and Golovkin is so out of practice with the trips/traps from his amateur/early pro career that he ends up stuck.
