Total punches Canelo Landed 257 not 171

Its very hard to see and count punches on the fly.

Some looks legit - blocked from another angle.

Some are taps - not even punhes...

Some punhes rolls of the guard and taps on the body/head - thus no punches.

Some punches connects just slightly on a moving target. like a jab or a cross against a lean back move. It looks like a hit but in reality just like 5% of the power truly goes in to the target. Its also often calculated as a counter from a perfect distance and position. Canelo exaggerated these moves in the beginning of the fight. Thus no taps in the face from golovkin but in exchange slow counters from far out of position instead. how do you score those?

Etc...

 

Judging what lands and what doesn't I think is harder being ringside. The judges don't always have the right angle to see whats landing and whats not, particularly with Canelo playing defense on the ropes.
One or more judges might be seeing Golovkin's backside, and all they see is him attacking Canelo, but they're not seeing that most isn't getting in, that Canelo is making him miss and nullifying even the connects by riding with the shots.
That same judge seeing Golovkin's back isn't seeing Canelo counterpunching off the ropes because all he can see is Golovkins back and what seems like Golovkin having him pinned on the ropes, only Canelo isn't pinned, he's there because he wants to be there, evading and countering. In instances Canelo getting in all the clean shots and Golovkin being credited with punches thrown he didn't even land.

 

I see why FMJ lost all his matches over the years after that new information about field of vision, thank you.

 

canelo got hit more often and apparently was getting hit harder because his ass was trying to escape most of the fight. that's all you need to know to determine who won. he has much better defense and punch resistance than i expected though. i thought he would fold like a tent. i was wrong.

luckily for him it wasn't a 15 rounder. his second wind had expired and G man was still ready to put a beating on him at the end.

 

Actually it don't require that much thought. The results had the desired effect.

 

They were giving Nelo credit for punches that didn't land as well. He was on his back foot throwing punches just to keep distance that weren't actually landing, but received credit for. Given how much he was back peddling throughout the fight, there were many of those shots to account for. That's why it's interesting to see what the real numbers are for anyone really taking the time to count them watching it again. The compu box folks like the judges seemed partial for the A side, Nelo. So I believe that there are inaccuracies in the punch stats on both sides. I'd like to see another poster recount what actually landed so there's clarity

 

What makes this even more impressive is that, after a recount, it turns out Canelo only threw 241 punches

 

Cool story bro. Now tell that to the 90% of people with a head! Canelo lost.
