    The sparring partner won that session, although I'm guessing GG wasn't going hard. Still, he took enough shots to the head(gear) that he can't afford to take against Stevens. Looks kind of 'big' at the moment too. Only the start of camp I guess.

      You talking about his lack of punches in the session?

        More about the punches he took. He caught quite a few on the headgear, he can't afford to get hit that clean against Stevens.

          He was not looking to land punches, He may have been just looking for holes to spring on. If you look at him sparring, he never spars hard, and is just looking to get his timing toned. It would not do him any good to start throwing cannons and knocking guys out in sparring.

            Yea, he usually takes a lot of punches when he does that. I think he took just as much when he was sparring Enis.
            I guess so since he just started and hes trying to get a feel for everything.
            He's also getting a lot more punches thrown at him too since he's not throwing anything and just catching punches

              Was that a joke or something? Golovkin looked like rubbish...I'm sure he was preparing to prepare to kill that dude.

                Some of his sparring sessions he spends throwing like 10 punches and trying to avoid the rest.

                This is like the opposite of the stories we here of him crunching people

                  Lets put it this way folks, if Golovkin was planning to throw and land punches in that sparring session, the other guy would be wearing a body protector in there during it. I guarantee it.

                    Like when he sparred Farrah



                    Not focused on hitting, more focused on not getting hit or minimizing it
