I don't care how tough or intimidating you THINK a fighter is, Body punches can break anybody down and make them drop to their knees...ANYBODY! It doesn't take a ton of Power either to hurt someone to the body. They fuking SUCK especially when you take many of them and especially when things get tender from getting punched in that same spot over and over.
Always suggest that fans go spar a bit, it will make them respect the sport even more and you won't spend hours upon hours on a forum disrespect professional fighters once you see how difficult boxing is. Being in "BOXING SHAPE" that is some Next Level stuff I see why other athletes including Boxing Training into their workouts!
That being said Sparring is just that...SPARRING!
there's a russian interview where kovalev admitted this.
this stuff happens, especialyl with body shots when guys are just getting back into shape.
did it happen? yes? does golovkin have power? yes. did he whoop kovalev's ass? no. would kovalev be favored if they signed to fight tomorrow? yes. would ward be favored if golovkin signed to fight him tomorrow? yes.
objectivity, guys. give it a try.
Kovalev would beat the shit out of Golovkin. You bitches are going to start bragging and when people start calling for him to fight Kovalev you'll be the first ones crying "he's too small"
^^^^^this
"he trying to unify at 160 doe"
"kovalev is too big doe!!!"
" GGG is a small middleweight doe!!"
Getting cropped by GGG isn't anything to be ashamed of!
"When Kovalev first came to me he had nine fights. He was a young man, not in age but in boxing ability. When he came to me, Golovkin was already a world champion and a silver medalist in the Olympics, over 300 amateur fighters….he had all these credentials. So when they sparred, it was a like a very experienced guy against a very inexperienced guy – so of course Golovkin got the best of him," Sanchez explained to BoxingScene.com.
"I had him for eight fights and by the tail-end, he had improved dramatically. And I think since he left my gym, which I think was after 19 fights, John David has done a magnificent job with him and he’s evolved into a killer. That guy that we see on Saturday night is not the guy who left my gym, because the guy who left my gym was still a pup."
"So as far as him and Golovkin sparring, yes , but it wasn’t just Kovalev – it was everyone in the gym that sparred with Golovkin – he was able to maneuver them and do what he wanted to do."

You're just not very smart are you? Nobody said GGG would win. Just that he has the power to drop a big LHW.
They went over this in detail.. read an article awhile ago. Basically, the story is that Golovkin was already training for some fight 2-3 years ago. Kovalev was invited and showed up to train/spar and was mostly out of shape and not prepared.
Anyone who's trying to read into this is an idiot.
Abel is a peice of **** for even talking about sparring sessions with other high profile fighters who is working with his fighter. Kovalev and JDJ is respectful and complimentary of GGG even after all the BS abel has been spreading.
GGGs team is trying to hard to make GGG into this all time great through sparring rumors and supposed fighters ducking GGG. The ducking might have some truth to it but GGG team needs to get him in the ring with big fights to actually earn the reputation.
The rep started in boxing circles, with fellow fighters, promoters etc. Thats why nobody would touch him and his rep is so ahead of his resume. Now he finally brings good money but all they challengers want silly money

Ended after only the one session if i recall correctly? Shame it didn't go beyond that and that there wasn't any footage. I would of be interested hearing about it.

I like Kovalev, he's the man of 175 but let's be honest, he's fortunate Golovkin was born 15 lbs lighter and 2 inches shorter. Same goes for Ward and his phony fans.
