    The funny thing is that triple G has shown that a puncher can outbox a tactical fighter. Clenelo treid a different approach this time but to no avail. Though I cannot deny he has a solid chin and determination.

    No. GGG is just an older fighter that relied alot on his durability and punching power, which unfortunately doesn't always hold up well in a fighter's late 30's. Punches the GGG would've walked through 2-3 years ago were making him hesitate and back off yesterday. Joe Louis also didn't seem to have much punching power or durability left in his late 30's.

    i agreew wholheartedly... GGG looked one dimensional. doesn;t work in levels like top flight boxers do. I wouldn;t say GGG is a top boxer per se. I dunno, I saw another draw but not unhappy with result, Canelo pushed him back more and more.

    Since when do jabs no longer count in scoring a fight?

    They absolutely count but they really don't mean as much when the other guy is being the effective aggressor, displaying better ring generalship, out power-punching you, landing more body shots and causing more physical damage. It was a tale of two fights some of you need to deal with it.

    The jab is the most important punch in boxing.

    If GGG was from Mexico he would never lose a single round against anyone.

    That's debatable.

    Either way It may be important, but one jab is not scored higher than one power punch.
