    yep

    what's more, at the post-fight press conference (Canelo in street clothes) you can clearly see heavy bruising under Canelo's right eye, which appeared to be swollen shut.

    Golovkin was never hurt by El Pollo at all, hell, El Pollo ran like a chicken! Jacobs got knocked down, staggered with a left hook, was out boxed and out jabbed, Golovkin was never hurt by Jacobs, Jacobs was too busy running! Hell, Jacobs was knocked out by Pirog, knocked out cold!

    Your point? You think Canelo was hurt? I don't doubt that Golovkin has the power to hurt anyone at MW, including Canelo, but the point is that Golovkin failed to hit Canelo as hard as Canelo hit him.

    I think both of them will be fine in the rematch. I expect a similar fight actually

    Lol, Jacobs smashed the **** out of GGG's ears! He has very good hand speed, does Jacobs.

    I think I saw GGG's chin take a dent against Martirosyan. I give Canelo credit for softening it, kinda like JCC softened Meldrick Taylor's, Cotto softened Margarito's, Hopefully GGG grants Canelo the rematch so Canelo can finish what he started.

    Margarito’s chin didn’t get softened, he was just used as a punching bag all night long. Mosley was loading up and hitting Margarito with brutal shots to the head and body, unlike Cotto who was backing up a lot and not doing too much bodywork. It took an amazing chin for Margarito to last as long as he did.

    Cotto through everything but the kitchen sink at Margarito. Up until that point I had never seen Margaritos face as swollen as it was against Cotto.

    It is my opinion that Cotto cracked Margaritos chin despite losing by submission.

    Things like that happen in boxing. Fighters leave part of themsleves in the ring, never to be the same fighters again.

    I believe GGG lost a little something, nore than in any other fight, against Canelo.

    I actually agree that Im inclined to believe that Canelo, and Jacobs before him, did put small cracks in Gs chin. I feel I saw evidence of those cracks in the first round against Vanes. I think they will show up more when in against the next big puncher he faces.

    I hope Im wrong.

    Margarito had also been fighting pro for 15 years, fighting a high activity style, so he was bound to decline. He was already looking slower than earlier, such as in 2003 against Antonio Diaz.

    Cotto was backing up a lot when he was hitting Margarito, and not going to the body, while Shane was loading up on his shots to the head and body. Before the fight happened, Margarito was said to have had a lousy camp by Steve Kim. Shane hammered the body (kill the body, the head will die) and head and still Margarito was standing for so long against a guy with pretty good power.

    Bascially, I’m just saying that Margarito still had a crazy chin even if the Cotto fight and those other tough fights took something out of it. It went from like a 98/100 to 95/100.

    Ok fine, we will agree to disagree on Margarito. But the fact remains that chins do get softened, or in other words the ability to take a punch deteriorates.

    Clenbuterol capital of the world wont be the same after this every boxer from the clenbuterol capital of the world

    is suspect and is required to enroll in VADA drug test. Definitely raised an eye brow.

    Too many of you from the clenbuterol capital in the world are getting caught.

    Cownelo isn't the only one.
