Boxing: Canelo vs Khan

[H2O Man]

5. Right.

Very good! Johansson's over-hand right was a thunderous punch. But GGG is far more skilled than the playboy-champion known to European gals as "Ingo-Bingo."

In two recent bouts, GGG has allowed his opponents to land some clean head shots, before disposing of them. But he is actually a surprisingly good defensive fighter, as well as an extraordinarily hard hitter. The only person who actually moved him was Curtis Stevens, and Curtis paid a big price for that.

I like Max Kellerman, and respect him as being a good boxing historian -- though he isn't a gifted live, ringside announcer, and often allows his employment to color his opinions. Perhaps the most insightful words that Max has uttered from ringside were when he compared GGG's style to that of the great Joe Louis. There are some real similarities in how their approaches, to get in position to unload extreme power.
