My favorite part of the video is Deontae still asking everyone he sees "who would win a fight between GGG and Ward?"
It is almost like he expects opinions to = fact LOL
Well Dontaye has a specific crowd he tries to appeal to. Gotta get those views. :boxing:
Why is everyone caring so much about sparing. It would be like discussing an NFL player dropping a ball at practice
Everyone trains at a different level of intensity and looks to work on different things
Hurting someone like Ola Afolobi isn't the same as hurting Kovalev. Is Ola bigger and stronger than Kovalev?
But to play devil's advocate, what if I told you that Kovalev was also hurting cruiserweight's and even some heavyweights?
Heck, I can show you a video right now where James Kirkland almost killed a heavyweight in sparring.
Kovalev likely walks into camp for his fight at about heavyweight anyway, so Kovalev hurting guys in the 200s (relative skill takes over when the size is close) isn't mind blowing.
Golovkin, a guy who's supposed to be "a small middleweight", hurting even Ola Afolabi, a guy who is likely 210-220lbs in camp, would be something actually unbelievable. You're talking about a world-level professional fighter who outweighs him by 50lbs!
For argument's sake, imagine if Floyd Mayweather Jr was in training camp, boxing up Chavez Jr, Edwin Rodriguez, and Chad Dawson on a regular basis (Afolabi isn't just some bum; his last 10 fights had been at/near world level). People would be in even more awe of the man's ability.
James Kirkland tortured his body to get ready and fit to fight; I have no doubt that Kirkland walks into camp 180lbs; smashing on a heavyweight (the level of guy Kirkland can get into camp) isn't all that unbelievable.
GGG has one of the best chins in boxing. As far as I know he has never been knocked down or badly hurt in over 400 amateur and pro bouts. So the haters that claim this guy or that guy would knock him out are probably wrong.
with Vitali gone, GGG holds the honour of having the greatest chin in the sport
The moment that Golovkin got put in the ring with someone even said to have a semblance of power, he abandoned all of that "Mexican style" nonsense and reverted to being a more careful fighter.
My guess is that you're probably overselling the chin a bit.
Gennady is Canelos executioner.
Golovkin is a 34-year old MW, who hasn't laid out anyone in nearly three years (even if he beats Dominic Wade, it'll likely be by ref/corner stoppage, with Wade on his feet), and came to the professional ranks after an extensive amateur career.
Saul Alvarez had all of ~50 amateur fights (all at just the Junior level and in Mexico), has been put in with solid competition for about 5 years now, has spent the last three years facing off against tougher competition than Golovkin's ever faced in his pro career, is just heading into those prime physical years in boxing (basically 24-29 years of age), and is defiantly the bigger man (with Canelo just about done growing, he'll likely be walking into the ring near the low 170s until he starts to lose his fighting fitness).
If Golovkin and his camp truly believed like you believe, they wouldn't be ****ting themselves over giving up a few pounds.
Sounds like this dude knocked gg onI his ass
Another intriguing sparring session that took place is with Tyrell Hendrix. Hendrix told ESNEWS, “I’m going to tell you the truth that Golovkin guy is no hype. He punch so hard he punched through the head gear. He has freakishly unreal power, but what people don’t know I knocked him down the first round when it came to sparring. Abel Sanchez got the video they might not want to show that. I dropped him to the body.”
Despite the knockdown Hendrix admitted Golovkin definitely got the better of him. “I knocked him down in the first round and after that he beat me up every other day it was nasty.”
I saw the interview quite awhile back, Tyrell seems like a good guy and funny as hell. He was proud of putting Golovkin down but paid dearly for it.
Yo I have never called him lil G
Abel Sanchez in the past has revealed stories of Golovkin’s sparring sessions with well-known top class fighters. One of the most famous incidents dealt with Sergey Kovalev. Sanchez described the encounter to Hustleboss.com as a mismatch. He stated, “He was one of the sparring partners that we had. He was with me for about a year and a half. Really Kovalev was afraid of Golovkin when he was in the ring. I couldn’t spar him too much because he showed too much respect for Golovkin. He just fell apart in their with Golovkin.”
Sanchez also confirmed with Bayloric TV, “Golovkin did drop Kovalev .”
Kovalev said that he did get dropped but was taking it easy on GGG because GGG was close to a fight and he thought he would hurt him if he was too aggressive. GGG was tough, very tough but he had to dial it back to avoid the potential of hurting him....according to Kovalev.
I'd like to see this version of Kovalev that's trained by JDJ in there with GGG.
I guarantee you guys you'll see a different outcome and it won't be Kov that's falling a part. I'll tell you guys that.
ABEL just said that gg knocks down cruiserweight in sparring. That means gg is hurting bigger and stronger guys than Kov
Yeah he usually tries to bait people by saying "THEY are saying Golovkin beats Marvin Hagler, what do you think about that?" lol he's got a hard on for certain fighters
yeah this dude is a master manipulator, Dontae is a sick headed paranoid personality disorder with narcissism, he says things like the truth, wtf when did his biased imagination become truth?
Also he calls others racist yet this guy does the same thing he accuses others of doing smiling in their face and talking crap behind their back, he has a whole legion of low IQ paranoid race biased morons following him too, say speak the truth! etc.
This guy will say things to try to get legends to insult fighters he doesnt like all NON BLACK fighters, he never says hey they said Floyd can beat Roberto Duran! he never mentions chit that other flo1mos say like Duran is greater than robinson, or ali, etc, he makes **** up like hey man they said that Pacquiao is greater than Henry Armstrong and Duran, what do you think about that? he wants the boxer he interviews to get triggered an hopes they insult Manny.
This man is sick.
Sounds like this dude knocked gg onI his ass

I really doubt he hurt GGG, he probably knocked him off balance.
I said hit clean. Lemieux didn't land anything and counting sparring is a joke.

How does this guy even get approved to do media at boxing events, do these promoters even screen the media? Dontae is a racist pro black propaganda hater ass fool. He will kiss ass and than talk crap about promoters, boxers, and coaches and play this race crap like crazy. He will talk nice to guys and than call them racist on his lame ass show.
Dontae also paid for views on Fiverr, its weird how this guys video have more views than ESNEWs, dude is def paying for views to game the system. This dude would never get approved for UFC or NFL, or MLB, or NBA, coverage they at least do their research and check out who gets approved or not, they would never allow some low end racist like Donate to cover those sports.
You can't make that claim, how many big hitters has Golovkin been hit clean by? I'd bet Kovalev would drop him in a real fight.
Stevens, Lemieux, Kovalev in sparring
he's also faced guys with good pop in Rubio, Adama, Macklin,etc
none of them have been able to put a dent on GGG's titanium chin
never stunned, never hurt, he has the best whiskers in the sport right now
specially after some of his former competition for #1, such as Rios and Chavez jr's chins have already been cracker
