Brand ran and fought defensive for 12 rounds. It was his game plan to lose a decision. When you walk into punchers it doubles the power.
It's not an opinion it's a fact. For a pressure fighter Duran didn't take a lot of shots. Only casuals consider Duran to be some sort of face first brawler who ate a heap of shots.
I remember Golovkin looked stunned in round 2. GGG wasn't "exposed" and there's nothing wrong with his defence 0 - Kell Brook is just a better fighter than many gave him credit for prior to the fight. Not a surprise for British fans who've known for a while Brook is very talented, albeit with poor opponents, but probably came as a shock to Americans and world fans who assumed it would be a one-sided beatdown.
GGG had and off night. Firstly his opponents defense and countering had a lot to do with it. Perhaps GGG wasn't 100 percent either. He looked a little slower than usually and his form was off. As he and his trainer said his performance on a 1-10 was a 4!!! Refreshing honestly. Even with a 4 he won all but one round hurt his man early with a body shot and badly damaged his eye. GGG proved his heart to fight back. His power and chin remain A plus. I think this fight was a bit of a fluke and he'll crush Canelo if Canelo can either borrow or grow a pair.
