.. AB sayin Canelo stops GGG in 8 via combos .. piccolo and kami we got more work to do in the hyperbolic time chamber
......how come he didn't show off this "great" boxing skill then?.....it was the perfect opportunity for it. But nah....danny had this dude looking completely clueless by just using fundamentals. Danny did nothing special in that ring and little g still had no answer for it. Never made any type of adjustments. Just kept plodding forward like a zombie and getting his head snapped back til the final bell. Yea....such great ring IQ
like nikkas been saying for years.
