There's no rules against it, the point is to WIN, not make it look pretty. Gatti had some amazing fights, but he suffered plenty of defeats because of his "thrilling style"

Yup, it's about style. If Floyd fought with a Gatti like style he probably would have had to retire many years ago.Originally Posted by El Kabong

Here's The CompuBox break down of the punch stats from Canelo's fight with Floyd.
It's not a matter of Floyd winning rounds by 3 punches. It's about how much he makes his opponents miss and then punishes them.
+++++++++++Floyd Mayweather Jr +++++ Saul Alvarez
punches thrown.................... 505 ++++++++++++ 526
punches landed..................232 (46%) +++++++++ 117 (22%)
jabs thrown...........................330 ++++++++++++ 294
jabs landed.......................139 (42%) ++++++++++ 44 (15%)
power punches thrown...........175 +++++++++++++ 232
power punches landed..........93 (53%) ++++++++++ 73 (31%)
punches thrown x minute.........14 +++++++++++++ 14.6
punches landed x minute..........6.4 ++++++++++++ 3.25

Anytime you lose a round to a guy landing just three punches that says more about how unprepared and in over your head you really are. Canelo fought a dumb fight. I don't think he has a good idea of his identity even today.

I did not stay up all night until 5am in the hope of Canelo finding his identity.

Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.

Copy that. He had a poor mans blueprint in Trout to work of finish and going hard, instead he backs off and fine tunes something that had zero chance vs a master boxer.I did not stay up all night until 5am in the hope of Canelo finding his identity.

Sour grapes, as it was Canelo who threw less and seemed to be perfectly content losing every round. There wasn't a single one he really went for and he had a judge in his pocket to boot!

Canelo landed almost 10 punches per round? No freaking way!
