Hypothetical Round scoring scenario! Punches landed vs Thrown.

[ykdadamaja]

Let me ask you folks a question,

Say for example, in a hypothetical fight, that one puncher throws 30 punches but lands 8 but comes forward more than the other fighter; and the other fighter lands throws 15 punches but lands 8.

Let us further for the sake of argument say that the first fighter throws 20 of those 30 punches with jabs, with the other 10 being "power punches"- which is anything else other than a jab, apparently- and the second fighter lands 6 of his 8 connected punches are power punches, and out of the 6, 5 of them were counter-punches.

How do you score the round? Because this is critical to why some would give GGG the fight in that the scenario of the first fighter.

Sure, GGG threw more; but his connect percentage was not that of someone who reflected the skill to win a fight.

There is a reason why after a knockdown a fighter gets deducted a point. Sure, there have been those weird 9-8 rounds, but typically in a standard fight a guy who scores a knockdown, REGARDLESS OF HOW EFFECTIVE HE WAS AT THE MARGINS DURING THAT ROUND, gets a 10-8 round.

GGG was landing the more effective and point scoring punches throughout the fight.

GGG was initiating the fight and had Canelo on the ropes so it looked like he was in control of the fight.

GGG did miss a lot and allowed Canelo time to rest.

Canelo was firing in bursts and many not landing.

[imp]

Canelo was countering on the ropes.

Canelo was never hurt and made the better eye catching shots..

How many times has Floyd been pushed to the ropes and countered of it?...all his career!!!

[imp]

Canelo had no fear in him whatsoever..he was calm and picked his shots.

[Master]

You missed Canelo being bossed on the ropes, Canelo gulping for air because he was tired and running around doing nothing to avoid the pressure then.

Golovkin just piled on the points to win the fight.

At least Golovkin has his belts and can go home content that he fought a good fight.

I saw GGG stunned into a complete stop for the first time EVER. Somewhere in Round 10 or 11. Gonna have to rewatch. But, Canelo hit him with something fierce and instead of GGG beckoning him to come on, he stubbled for a second and put his guard up. lololol....


These are GGGs last fights. I am seeing the wear and tear on his hand and eye coordination. I think, for his health's sake, GGG either takes a good LONG BREAK ala Floyd OR he retires after another 2 or maybe three fights. Rematch Canelo and possibly try to set up a good fight with Ward-- just move up in weight for the sake of it.

He has proven himself, in my mind, as one of the top Middleweights of all time. I don't think anyone surpasses Roy Jr., but a conversation can be made against him being above Hagler to some respect and being a more skilled technician than B-Hop. A case can be made on then All Time PFP Middlweights of all time.

Props should be given to Canelo for stepping up a weight class to fight the best guy in the division...

Ward has done the same.

[imp]

The fact Canelo is ginger and signed to Golden boy has made the hate strong against him!..lol

[Fenster]

You can't accurately gauge punches landed so your whole point is utterly mute (which punches land is purely at the discretion of the individual and proven to be incorrect/debatable on numerous occasions).

Ward has done the same.

Canelo has been a middleweight for years and coming in at light heavy during his fights. That is why he has dominated the light middleweight division for years. The only reason he has not moved up was because his fear of Golovkin.

Master George Foreman was initiating the entire fight and Ali was laying on the ropes for the whole eight rounds So based on that analysis you had George Foreman ahead right before the knockout?

And we all know it. If Floyd fought GGG and he did slightly a better job at slipping punches the way Canelo did, with the same punch stats, which Floyd can do, then GGG would have lost this fight by a very WIDE UD.

We all know it. Quit the emotionalism. GGG lost this fight, but not as wide as Adalaide Byrd, but certainly he lost this fight.

Canelo did not wait for GGG to leave the divison like GGG waited for Ward to move up.

You can't have it both ways.

There's many factors that play into your hate of Canelo and this so called invincibility of GGG.

We all know that Floyd outboxed Canelo for 12 rounds and made it look easy.

The fact that Canelo came up in weight and fought the best at 160 with no issues on a draw, will only make it look even better for old man Floyd..that pisses you off.

Leave Floyd out of this and focus on what Canelo done in the ring.

Everyone said he was getting knocked out, everyone was saying he won't go the distance..he did both and landed the bigger shots.

The judge should be banned for life but that does not change the result.

[imp]

This was not a landslide win.

Canelo just edged it, purely on boxing skills and making GGG miss and look stupid.

GGG is very beatable..expect another rematch fight with monroe to make everyone scared again!

[Master]

You are stupid if you think a 40 year old, retired, former featherweight who has never fought at the weight can live Golovkin.

The end.
