Golovkin sparring, prepping defense for Nov. 2nd

[mathed]

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

I know right, I thought that might have been Golovkin's evil twin or something.

Like when he sparred Farrah



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

Here is another one. If the guy is not wearing body armor, Golovkin is only working on slipping and timing.

[intoccabile]

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.

That's false. All sparrings stories point to him sparring hard. He sparred very hard with CHavez and Quillin for example.

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.

man, GGG wasn't doing anything.
If he was throwing more jabs or anything at all, his sparring partner wouldn't be throwing as much.
Same with Stevens... Stevens will back the hell up once he feels that jab then start throwing wild ass hooks hoping to catch him

Anybody know who his sparring partner is?

He killed a guy in sparring?

[dan_cov]

Never heard that before think you may mean Kovalev fought Simakov who died a few days later...

GGG needs to start talking during his fights that would make it way scarier lol

Saying some nice **** coming to take his head off

Dude's too nice, he'll probably say stuff like:

You are fast boy, good boy
Is good punch, fight more
Meat is my favorite food
