Great breakdown i'll have to check that out.I don't think that is a flaw though it seems to be by design. Against southpaws he uses it to get from mid range to the inside. He throws a right hook while pivoting on his lead foot then usually follows up with a left hook to the body or head then another right.
He does square himself up to an extent after he pivots while throwing the right hook but he keeps his chin tucked, his right arm is positioned to guard against a counter left cross and the left side of Golovkin's body ends up pressed against his opponents right shoulder smothering their ability to throw a right while Golovkin himself is still in a position to throw his own left.
The most effective counter to throw when he does that would be a left uppercut and Proksa has a good one but like i said it seems to be a strategy/technique by design rather than a overlooked flaw. Every knockdown on Fuchigami involved that sequence with the right hook.
Really looking forward to this. I like Proksa alot but i like Golovkin more and i think he's the better fighter. I'm expecting Golovkin to stop him inside 8 rounds.
I did notice that he does do that to close the gap and usually keeps his chin down and it does seem to have purpose behind it bcse he does it quite often just think extending yourself can leave you open on the way in and with a wildman like Proksa you never knowComment

Exactly this. In fact, Golovkin actually hasn't even look as good as to warrant all of the hype he is getting.
I still think he will win the fight, but man some people are getting waaay ahead of themselves with this guy.Comment
