Punch Selection: Last, we see who’s the hooking fighter and who’s the straight puncher in this matchup. Both fighters come in shy to the body in their last 34 rounds while neither overly rely on uppercuts or inside work as a key part of their offense. #UsykBellew

Scored it 114-114 at the arena. The sequel in its entirety and the implications on their respective careers may be a Golovkin tragedy, but last night was no robbery. Excellent scorecards for a fight that was anything but easy to score.

[Intelligent Boxer @intelligentbxr]

Last, in one of the largest criticisms of GGG’s first performance, GGG went to the body less than 4% of the time, something uncharacteristic of him, particularly compared to his early pro career. #GGGCanelo2

[Intelligent Boxer @intelligentbxr]

Revisiting our stats from Canelo / GGG 1: On the strength of the jab, GGG outworked and outlanded Canelo in nearly every round. While Canelo arguably landed the cleaner, harder work in spots, we will see if has the stamina to increase his output in the rematch. #GGGCanelo2

[Intelligent Boxer @intelligentbxr]

Across punch types, GGG’s jab nearly triples that of Canelo, while Canelo shows he’s mildly more diverse, particularly to the body. #GGGCanelo2

[Intelligent Boxer @intelligentbxr]

As oppose to when attacking to the head, where a slower GGG can more easily avoid counter-fire with his classic stiff arm. We covered this tactic in more detail here: https://t.co/IY44qVVjgS and the same can be seen plenty throughout Canelo / GGG 1.

@rufaii On this topic, I do also suspect that the threat of Canelo's speed and counter punching play a factor in the reduced body work. Reason being, In general, its slower to get to the body all while putting you in a more vulnerable defensive position.

[Intelligent Boxer @intelligentbxr]

@rufaii Ah, I seem to have mixed things up here. While I would suspect Canelo's defense certainly plays a factor on landed metrics, in this case, GGG simply didn't throw to the body.

GGG's thrown punches, head vs body:
