Surely his trainer was end on the street fight gameplan. This isn't a mere mortal.This is Golovkin we're talking,about he spars cruisers for fun.Why he be scared of little 'ol Lemuix,with the funny haircut. He is aging, isn't he? I guess he shouldn't have spent those extra years fighting teenagers.
Watch his interviews, Sanchez said he lost control of him.
Golovkin fought like a wild man, so did Brook in parts. It was fking great to watch.
His trainer was trying to tell him to box, and he wouldn't listen. He was looking for the KO.
Lemieux had genuine top-drawer MW power, it would have been foolish to take the same approach against him.
Saying he lost every round was an English language issue, it isn't what he meant.
Just enjoy Triple G man, he won't be around forever.Surely his trainer was end on the street fight gameplan.

So, why was trainer so animated between rounds? Was he lying when he promised big drama show against Lemuix?Why did he look so dejected when saying that he lost every round?

What did you want him to do, pitty pat and run for 12 rounds?

"why can't facial damage be used to score fights"? Who says it isn't?
However everyone's skin and facial design isn't the same. Some have high cheek bones that might cut or eye brows that are extended that might cut. If their abused by light hitting shots why should that be considered as positives over harder shots that don't leave visible trauma?
I knew fighters that puffed up as soon as contact was made and others that showed no signs of abuse if you hit them with a shovel!

I don't know what fight you are referring to. But, why can't facial damage be used to score fights? I would say it shows who lands the heavier shots. A fighter's activity alone isn't representative of what is actually playing out in a fight. A fighter maybe have less output, but may be damaging a fighter with those shots. While the other fighter is throwing a lot, missing, or not damaging his opponent. Sometimes you can outwork your opponent, but sometimes the damage you sustain should also be considered.
I remember that 3rd Marquez-Vazquez fight. Marquez being upset that he lost the fight, saying during the post fight interview, "I won the fight, look at his face."
Because its only a very small indicator and would likely favour the headhunter or/& bigger puncher and darker skinned fighter.
Some guys cut, swell and mark up very easy whilst some can absorb hundreds among of hundreds of shots from big punchers and come out with barely a mark on them. How often do you see a Ghanaian or Jamaican fighter with any sort of facial damage? Very rarely I bet.
Facial damage only really usually shows from say the nose up and often facial damage doesn't show up instantly. One fighter could appear unmarked the next day his face a swollen, marked up mess then what do you reverse the initial decision?
Also a fighter with a lot of scar tissue & soft skin like say Nate or Nick Diaz, Cotto is going to have a very hard time winning a decision if its going to be scored based on facial damage.
A fighter could land literally one shot and leave someones face a bloodied mess then go on to get absolutely battered for the duration yet finish without a mark on them.
I'm dumb because Glolovkin get's hit a lot, can't fight going backwards and depends on his power against smaller opponents?

If you're thinking that Brook was up - then it's irrelevant.

Yeah that precedent was set when Mayweather let Maidana beat him up "to give the fans entertainment", that's what his fans said at least.

I think GGG clearly took his foot off the gas after hurting Brook in the first round. He was getting hit way too much for my liking, I hate that he seems to just lose concentration sometimes and stops giving a crap about defense.
