I disagree sir. Rolls was fighting his ass off. those right hands were bombs. It's just that GGG is one tough S.O.B. GGG has the true heart of a Champion.
I agree as well.
I persued punchstats for a few minutes to see how much more he's getting tagged. Alvarez last fight caught him 169.
His 2 round fight with Rubio, he got hit 15 times in 1st round.
Jacobs fights he got hit in the double digits from round 3-12. Hit 175. he got credit for landing 4 more than Canelo II.
1st 4 rounds with Brook he got tagged 19-21-25-14 times per round..if we were to average out Canelo 169 in 6 rounds, that would be 70. or 69 for Brook a disparity of one punch.
Out of the 3 rounds he went with Macklin, would land double digits 2 out of the 3 rounds, excluding the one he got stopped in.
Out of the 3 round he went with Geale, he got his double digits in all 3 rounds. 15 times in the 1st round. & 12 in the round he stopped him in.
Out of 2 rounds against Matiroysan, he got tagged 12 times first round.
And against Rolls, he got tagged 38 times over 4 rounds, seems to be on par with his prime and early years.
I take it that he has good defense, not awesome defense.
I always credited him for having a durable chin because he got hit enough to come to such a conclusion. His greatest asset IMO is his chin, endurance & punching power. Never saw him as a virtuoso at blocking or slipping shots. So for me, Rolls is given no credit because he hasn't been promoted as a great fighter.
Rolls brought it, but like others, regardless of how many rounds it takes for GGG to end it...he will take some.
