(GIF) This Punch From Canelo Should Have Obliterated And KO'd GGG Cold...

GGG ain't a Welterweight

 

canelo should be fighting at 147 or 154 but he like too many tacos, his mom spoils him with homemade tortillas and chorizo con huevo lol he has too much muscle for boxing, he is too busy trying to look sexy for instagram. canelo has no business fighting at 160 but his skills allow him to take the big money fight and not get KTFO.

you guys are so proud of him taking flush shots like that? i thought he was the master of parrying shots? that chin is cracking mark my words GGG will be ko'd if he keeps getting hit like that. GGG has maybe 1 year before that chin becomes roy jones caliber china.

 

So if you land 30 punches on me and I take em easy, but I land 15 on you and you're wobbling all over the ring - who wins the round?

 

LOL!
Is that how you score fights?

You must have given rounds to Golovkin on the basis that Canelo looked tired backing up with his hands down. In the instances where Canelo retreated, you scored Golovkin's missed punches as effective misses because he's making Canelo retreat? LOL!

I've heard it all now. LOL!

 

I thiught a draw was fair but this is more than just about this fight. If a punch lands and has no effect then its not worth the same as a punch that lands and staggers the opponent. True or not true?

I didnt realize so many of you score professional fights like the amateur system.

 

And thats why im not a fighter and Canelo is a better man than me. If i tag a guy with all i got and he doesnt fcking budge! Im all set. Thank you sir, have a nice day youve got this one. Thats pretty frikken demoralizing. You can see it in canelos face clearly.

 

The shot on that GIF had real torque and power behind it. That particular shot weighs a lot heavier in the scoring of a round over just a normal right hand thrown with much less torque behind it.
Both are considered power punches on the final compubox punchstat, but thankfully fights are not scored through punchstats and its the naked eye that decides how much weight to give a punch in the scoring of the round.

......and yes, if a fighter wobbled the other with a stiff jab, of course that weighs just at much if not more than the punch landed by Canelo that didn't stop Golovkins forward progress.

For example, Canelo in the 10th and 12th round put together a series of combinations that landed square on Golovkin's face punch after punch, a lot of power and torque behind his punches, in the case where neither fighter is getting wobbled those types of punches do weigh more than say the one's where Golovkin is squared up with Canelo on the ropes and is landing with less torque and follow through behind his shots than were Canelos.

Believe me my friend, that shot in the GIF by Canelo was effective. Golovkin kept coming forward, but he takes one of two more of those and he's going to buckle if not get knockdown.
In contrast, most of the shots that were landed by Golovkin were not going to put Canelo in any serious harm to start wobbling.

Torque and follow through do matter, even in instances where the fighter doing the punching isn't known as a big puncher.

 

Bottom line is that how the fighter takes the opponent's punches also factors in to how you score the round.

People seem to forget that. Its not like GGG was doing the chicken dance. He was shrugging off Canelo's best shots.

 

......and yet, Canelo wasn't demoralized, he stuck to his gameplan and kept on working.

The replay of that shot on HBO showed Golovkin had spotted the shot coming and started riding with it. That and the shot didn't land right on the button as it did with Khan, and Khan was clueless as to the shot coming, he just didn't see it coming and never even made an attempt to brace himself. In fact Khan was about to throw a shot himself when Canelo landed his bomb.
Not the case he with Golovkin where he did see the shot coming and braced himself for the impact.

 

I'd have put more weight behind the scoring of that punch had it wobbled Golovkin, but as it is, you still have to count it as a major power shot being landed. For goodness sake, the sweat by the impact of that punch flew in every direction.
That my friend is a power punch to weigh heavily in a round.

 

So a boxer gets extra credit for how good he takes a shot? As opposed to landing his own shots to win the round?

 

Good posts @divac

 

I didn't realize how biased the HBO commentary was for GGG. I watched this with Russian commentary and the volume low, so I didn't hear all this. This was a Canelo round and they didn't even really make mention of his monster right hand. They bias the round with statements like GGG is pressing Canelo into the ropes and here comes Gennady.
