i like ggg but lets remember what happened to the last guy who was hyped like crazy on here and was gonna put his opponent in a coma and kill him ect. stevens has little chance but ggg isnt p4p yet
well, first of all ggg isnt fighting garcia hes fighting stevens. that alone makes a huge difference, entirely different class.
second ggg isnt just a puncher, he has a tremendous amateur background. thats why i always been impressed by him, mainstream fans always get excited about power and thinks someone is a beast just because he can punch. power dont mean **** if you cant land though, but with his amateur background ggg has the skills and smarts to land.
i compared ggg and matthysse in the past since its the perfect example of a good puncher as opposed to just a hard puncher. the ability to set your shots up. i never understood why more ppl didnt recognize lucas' shortcomings, ggg isnt perfect but he is a far superior fighter to matthysse.
those shortcomings however are mostly defensive and stevens can crack. another guy with limited all around ability but crushing power, the superior all around fighter in ggg shouldnt allow him to land anything big but if he does stevens most certainly can capitalize.
for starters ggg needs to keep that right hand up higher and tighter when he throws his left hook. also tighten up the right hands and bring them back faster and move either the feet or the head after you finish the combination. finishing combinations with a right hand and standing still is the last thing you want to do with stevens as his money punch is catching or rolling right hands and firing his hook on top of it. shocked gggs trainer didnt notice any of that.
this video makes me less certain ggg will come out on top, not more.
im saying the guys on here who say get the funeral ready and **** like that is dumb. gg and lucas were hyped cause of their power but gg really hasnt beat anyone with half a pulse. stevens is a step down from his last fight but he has power so hell be looked at as a god until he loses
I can't speak for those guys. GGG hasn't had the chance to beat anyone with a pulse. He doesn't even have a resume yet. But keep in mind his last fight was a guy who pushed Mrtinez to the limit and drew with Sturm. And most Golovkin detractors want Floyd to fight Martinez, so there's some pulse for ya.
GGG is NOT hyped because of his power, bro. Maybe the 2013, semi racist-only like Golovkin-and-Mattyhsse cause theyre white hype him because of his power. But for the 10000th time, as a Golovkin fan with some common knowledge, I can tell you before anyone even knew about this so called ridiculous power, people knew that he was an amateur champion and Olympic silver boximg medalist. A SERIOUS technician with sublime boximg skills, ring stalking ability, ring iq and on top of that some very heavy hands and serious natural power (a lot of that due to his technical brilliance)
Theres an ignore button bro, if you have to ignore those posters who only like Golovkin because they want him to beat Floyd, do it.
you cnanot compare a technician with power like golovkin to an all out bralwer with power like matthysse.
golovkin had over 300 amateur fights, and in a non olympic year was the amateur world champion. the following year he won silver at the olympics. the man is a technician.
And this. Again, comparing Mattyhsse and Golovkin with the reasoning that "both have been hyped on NSB before being p4p" is laughable. Pure comedy IMO
Balance and distance and keeping his shoulder width slightly wider than his shoulder. Terrific left hook as he pronates and brings hi soulder and back!!!
This kid will give everyone and anyone problems, no one from 47 to 68 hits like he does! If you sign to fight this guy you'd beter get in great condition and if you don't have foot and hand speed and bettr than average pop just don' sign!!!!!
...and so far no one is signing!!! I like the kid he sign to fight but I think he's over his head! Ward needs to come down to 164lbs and no one hdrates over 174, thats fare or just don't do it!!! These guys hydrating up to 16 to 22 pounds is a joke! Since when do the fighters make their own weight classes?
GGG needs the top middles if Sergio is still considered a quality guy then ring the bell!
Its a damn shamn that boxing can't utilize this guy he can box and he can punch ands thats what its about. Not watching a bunch of panzies play pitter patter on mitts and bags andthen do the same thing in their FIGHTS!!!
I'm tired of that crap, boxing is also moving forward within a boxers form and dominating your opponent by backing them up!!! Not tag your it! Ray
You can take his **** out of your mouth now Ray.
I mean, why even bring up that nobody at 47 hits like he does. He's a ****ing middleweight.
If you're going to salivate over him, try to keep it in the real world.
GGG is very good, very impressive, but let's not go over the top.

Nah, it's 'cos he didn't punch him through the ropes.
Why you annoyed with boxing fans for liking a boxer?
Yeah this dude taking it way too serious. Spending all day trying to discredit certain fighters who don't fit your agenda or those who get hyped on NSB. There's nothing you can do about it bro, people like Golovkin and other fighters you don't. Get over it
Watch you jump off that Golovkin bandwagon.
Hey how come PWill didn't get all this credit when he beat Ishida, cause he black?

The thing is I don't consider the fights Golovkin has fought tests. People like you are sold on Golovkin but if he loses you get no punishment. I've never acted like any fighter is unbeatable. Golovkin is just to hittable, his hype ends with a brutal KO.
Sorry...I don't quite understand, are you advocating corporal punishment for fans of fighters who lose or something?:rofl:

I'm not a fan boy I don't think that GGG is unbeatable I doubt he will get beat by KO as i have seen him eat shots and keep coming with out even a bending of the knees you will have to outbox him and really box out of your skin to beat him.
Macklin, Rossado and Proska are tests most definitely they are like the gate keepers before stepping up to world level where you are expected to go rounds and see the fight out on points and when he is knocking these guys out or stopping them that says a lot about what could be in his future..
I cant see anything Curtis Stevens has that could worry GGG outside of his initial few left hands, but this is boxing I've been wrong before and i will be wrong again

I like GGG but I agree, he gets hit too much. That's why this fight with Stevens is another good test.
The way he took care of Macklin - his three punch combo to knock him out -- was fantastic. Now we find out if he has a D and if he can take a punch.
Watch you jump off that Golovkin bandwagon.
Hey how come PWill didn't get all this credit when he beat Ishida, cause he black?
Paul Williams took 10 rounds and won a decision Nobuhiro has a good chin, heart and endurance and GGG walked in touched him in the 3rd and Knocked him out he was the first to do this there's a difference between winning and winning in destructive and impressive fashion.
Same with Macklin, Macklin is durable when he had been stopped he had been stopped late 10th 11th round and against Martinez at that but Golovkin treated him like a school girl KO'd him in 3.
I agree Matthyse was a hype job.
I had Garcia for that fight from the day it was announced but Golovkin is a punching Machine and he picks his shots carefully there's no waste in motion and he is always ready to throw a little like Sergey Kovalev in that respect they are always nice and compact, every shot is a power shot and has hurtful intentions.
Sergey has a higher work rate and his shot selection is a little worse and could probably be beaten a little easierif you can make him fight more rounds.
I couldn't stop laughing after Golovkin has been tested.
Coming from the guy who is singing the praises of a fighter with a 65% KO ratio against guys who most of the time have been stopped previously, who has been stopped by a tomato can himself in the 8th and been out boxed on 2 occasions saying how much of a "Beast" he is.
You had me in stitches throughout this entire thread so. I wont take your opinions to seriously don't worry I realize you're a much better comedian than you are a boxing analyst.
It's similar, if I'm banned I'll come back as trueoneshot I'll be here clowning people who picked wrong is needed or you'll have people making insane comments.
alright, fair enough
GGG takes a mid round stoppage Golovkin has been tested he has fought fighters with a winning record since his 9th fight and still has around a 90% KO ratio. His recent stoppages over usually durable Opponent's in Ishida and Macklin proved a lot to me about his power and his ability to pick and time his shots effectively.
