Just Rewatched Stevens/Findley

[Light_Speed]

Alright, i just rewatched this fight and had it 78-74 Stevens with the KD that was called in Round 7 as a 10-9 round. This was his most recent fight this year and is a better gauge than the Brinkley fight.

My thoughts:
1. Stevens went to the ropes too damn much. I know it’s because Findley was smothering him and gave him no room there, but Golovkin can cut the ring and his jab is more than enough to push you there. He does nasty work on the ropes and rips the worst body shots.
2. He has the one punch power that NBC is drooling over, but how long does it last. I saw him land some left hooks that wobbled Findley and had him hurt, but later in the fight he landed more left hooks and in succession with other combinations and Findey just ate it... while he was dead tired.

Looks to me like he didn't try very hard in this fight, he knew he wasn't likely to get Findley out of there so he used this as an opportunity to work on skills, speed and combinations. Before that fight he had only fought 2 rounds in 3 years so he needed the workout.

Im still not completely sold on GGG. He can punch but it's hard to tell because he doesn't see much resistance. Put him in there with somebody who's not a tomato can and we will know more.

If you think Macklin is a tomato can then what does that say about Martinez who struggled with him?

Guys like that with his face first style get old quick. He looked soft to me. Didn't look like the same guy plus he didn't offer much resistance. He's looked good so far but to me GGG is untested.

What fighters who are readily available could provide a test?
Chocolate is out because of Showtime
Martinez temporarily out due to injury
Geale maybe now that he lost
Barker wants huge money

Mora would provide a good challenge, but nobody wants to watch that evidently

Chocolate was out a long time before the network split. He wants nothing to do with GGG.

I think he was offered a WBA shot, but said he started on a WBO path and wanted to finish it.
It was either him who said that or Brook... but all I know is he turned down a fight.

Findley was clowning around with him in there; so much for a "dangerous puncher"

Stevens is going to get good boy'd so ****ing bad. Dude is a bum who happens to sell a few tickets.

Findley is pretty tough tho. I'm not rally surprised. Findley is deceptively good.

[AztecWanker]

You guys are over analyzing this bum. His only hope is a hail mary of a haymaker, he gets good boy'd inside 5 rounds.
