I've just seen the fight and I have to give Steven's credit for a brave effort. He was just way out of his depth.

He didnt come to lay down but Golovkin was just on another level.

one of those nights when a fighter proves himself more in defeat than he has in all his victories. he earned the fight with his mouth and hardly anyone gave him a chance of going past 3, but he showed up to fight and put up a great performance.
i was impressed by his defense, keeping in mind he is an offensive fighter and just how good golovkin is at picking and placing his shots. showed great punch resistance too and obviously a huge heart. golovkin was just better than him in all areas, stevens has a good amateur background, ggg has a great one. stevens has very good power, golvkins is better. what really bothered him was the footwork of golovkin which was tremendous as always.
stevens fought his heart out though and takes the loss like a man afterwards, nothing but respect for the man. looking forward to seeing him against some of the other top MWs like geale, sturm or one of the brits.
Good fooking god!:nonono:
