GGG looked like shit until the KO...the KO was nice though
Oh Rolls looked very game. GGG took shots he didn't use to AND didn't need to. There was one specifically where GGG got caught flush only there wasn't enough on the punch to do anything but snap GGG's head back.
I don't think it was a great performance by him, I've seen a lot better from him, I expect a lot better....that KO shot was nice, he'll break his hand doing that wrong, but he knows what he's doing.
I think the death of network tv boxing has been greatly exaggerated. On one weekend the most convincing and legitimate winner for Dazn was Chris Algieri. Good luck long term growth with that $20 a month.
Know what's different to me, seems a lot more people are just looking to tune in for highlight clips rather than full cards. Espn basically shoots itself in the foot dropping full rounds, clips etc over on fb immediately after most bouts.
I think ESPN is just saturating the market to drown DAZN. ESPN already has them killed in subscribers and is about to tie to Hulu further putting their foot on DAZNs neck. Paying GGG 18 million to assault someone who has no business in a fight is the model that destroyed HBO.(except worse)There is a reason DAZN is set to lose 4.6 billion dollars over the next 3 years. Getting only 1% of the market is a major fail so far.
Do not let success go to your head and do not let failure get to your heart.
Agree.
GGG took some huge punches but they (as usual) seem to have no effect on him.
I think the AJ v Ruiz card on the whole is probably the most competitive and exciting card we've seen all year but on the whole this year so far has been pretty shit for stacked cards.
DAZN will surely have to up their game if subscription numbers start to slow down.
I honestly can't remember the last time I paid for a fight.
I get DAZN, ESPN, BT Sport and Sky Sports free and in full hd quality.
I've just changed my IPTV provider and it runs flawlessly through the Alexa 4K voice fire stick.
£85 all in for the year which after Fury then 2 more PPV fights has paid for itself already 😁
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.
All's lost! Everything's going to shit!
Well argued.
GGG doesn't seem to mind getting hit. Surely he feels it as he is human, but he seems to be sure of his ability to take a punch. Some fighters are just more durable than others. He was tagged easily against Rolls, but a little bit like with Brook just seemed to be 'giving big drama show' and then ploughed on for the stoppage.
The excuses people make for GGG getting hit directly contradict what GGG says himself

Magno is a Canelo lover. He is a Mexican. Comprende!

I don’t get all this complaining. I see more boxing these days. There are always going to be shit fights and we never get to see the fights we want in a timely manner. It’s just a lot more boxing with the same shit. But at least we get an upset or two and a real fight more often than without all this additional promotion. Not to leave out boxers are getting bigger pay.
