Body Shots don't win fights!! Heads shots only count

After watching the fight again I'm sorry to see the judges giving Canelo the win due to body shots.
In pro fights body shots don't score the same as head shots.
Body shots are an investment you do to slow your opponent down, drop their hands so you can land effective head shots.

This scoring sets a terrible precedence in the sport where an opponent who land 200 body shots will outpoint his opponent that lands 160 solid head shots.

This was a "sneak-up-from-behind, club him in the back of the head and snatch his wallet type robbery. :deal

 

Only time a body shot should make a difference in scoring is when it leads to a knockdown (10-8) or like Hopkins-ODLH, a KO.

 

Look.

Body shots are used when you are facing a mover like Lara to help slow him down or to eventually start dropping his arms so he'll be open for head shots.
Canelo was able to land some body shots but was never really able to connect to Lara's face but a few times in the fight.

Canelo fought Lara's fight all night long and Lara made him look like a flat footed polodder who was singing and missing more punches than he connected. meanwhile, Lara was connecting with multiple combinations to Canelo's face and head. That's the sweet science baby.

 

Don't know about the cooties, but he sure was swatting at flies all night. :yep
