OH That irked the shit out of me..."Canelo is winning the story of the fight".....what the what?!?!?
In the ring it doesn't matter who is going forward or going backward, it's about landing punches and not having punches land on you. Canelo was dedicated to landing to the body....not all of those punches landed clean, flush, or pierced the guard. Max Kellerman was all "Sometimes judges don't score body punches the same as headshots" well I'd say sometimes if you block body punches you don't get credit for them not landing.
Going forward or backward on it's own doesn't mean winning a fight or losing a fight. Fights can be won or lost both ways.
Kellerman is just a joke...his shit on ESPN is just God awful and his boxing commentary is awful now as well.
