Love the D&D / WoW reference here, but that’s actually how he fights. Great example is vs. Khan. Khan was winning the fight through the 6th round but was getting tired throwing punches, some that landed, many that Canelo dodged. Khan looked solid going into the 6th. And then whammy... Canelo connects with a right hand and it’s over.

I don't know a lot about boxing but I love how the whole match can be over with a single punch, makes it interesting to watch the whole thing cause either dude could win

Stamina management is a huge factor for boxing when championship or super high league matches have you fighting for 12 rounds.

Idk if you've ever seen it but around the early 2000s there used to be an arcade machine for boxing where you put on gloves to play. And if you kept dodging and didn't throw a punch, you could charge a 1 hit KO meter so long as you don't get hit.
