Gennady Golovkin vs. Curtis Stevens Predictions & Info

[Cobra_]

Keep overating this GGG guy. Gonna be hilarious when he gets exposed like previous and recent hype jobs Matthysse, Bute ect.

Really an anti climatic fight.

Stevens showed what everyone knew, should never have been in there.

Whilst Golovkin showed plenty of flaws against a guy who should never have been in a world title fight.

Exactly, now watch how everyone claims Stevens was actually a good fighter. Not too long ago there was someone claiming that if Golovkin beats Stevens that he should be awarded fighter of the year

you're the top 10 guy, dan

He's right though, what did Stevens do to put himself in the top 10?

Who is Wats?

Maybe he's talking about the LA neighborhood Watts? GGG vs the Watts Crips.

Good to very good from Golovkin, certainly the right tactics for all future opponents is to move towards him and try and push him back.

Yeah but you have to be able to sustain it.

That lack of speed man....I'm telling you, Sergio would be throwing 6 punch combinations against him. I can't see him blocking more than 1 or 2 given his speed. As the fight progresses, his face is going to take damage especially with the way Sergio twists his wrists when he punches.

Is Murray faster than GGG? I don't think so. And he unoffically beat Martinez and dropped him.

limited as pressure fighters, Matthysse because he doesnt move his upper body well(his blocking is underrated) and has a limited punch variety, Angulo because he is slow as hell and just not that good.....i thought GGG was better than that....he fought smart under his style, he didnt struggle or anything....but his shortcomings were made apparent, i see why Canelo gave him a good match in sparring....all Canelo does is wait and counter hard.-- the way GGG backs up when he feels those counters coming and loses all momentum he had on offense was just very apparent...

He is better than that, he has good variety and can move his upper body well when he wants to. He did seem to freeze and step back to reassess the situation, but it doesn't last long.

[Weebler I]

Lee shouldn't be on Golovkin's radar at this point.

No more worthless fights for GGG.

It's easy saying that, but it's harder to get people into the ring with him and he's planning to fight 4-5 times next year so there are going to be a couple of lower level fighters mixed in.

Lol i've had literally four private messages bout the sig tonight alone.

As an educated guess, i think it's from Abraham-Taylor in the super six.

Cheers, it's a good one.

You act like you know a lot about boxing. but really you know ****.

Didn't you also claim Quigg has a glass jaw and would get destroyed by Salinas?.

You talk bollocks lad.

I said a questionable chin and said no such thing but favoured Salinas. It ended in a draw. Hardly a bad call, you're right, I must know ****.

Why is it everything I type on here gets spun? As if to say I know **** when the same people didn't even call the fights right themselves.

I disagree slightly. I think GGG wants his opponent to try and back up and use movement so he can cut the ring off and pin them on the ropes. Where Stevens had success was holding his ground and throwing hard counters while GGG was throwing. Its a very dangerous game though and GGG has now shown he has the chin to take big shots and still break the other guy down



I agree with that. Surely its better though for GGG to reset and lose his momentum rather than just keep coming forward onto hard shots? Thats what Hatton tried vs Mayweather and Angulo vs Lara and it just got them broken down and beaten up.

Sergio can fight on the inside and outside and is just so much faster and more active than Golovkin is. He can take a punch but after taking so many punches over the course of 5 or 6 rounds, his face is going to be a mess.

[NearHypnos]

MArtinez is no longer in his prime anymore. BAsically GGG won't get any credit even if he beats Martinez from a lot of these guys on here.

Exactly so why are people caught up in that fight? Itll probably never happen. Sergio trying to fight a few big names closer to his size and retire. Itd be nice to see GGG get that lineage but Serg is just too far gone to fight someone thats bigger and that much stronger than him with little reward that could turn out to be career ending imo. GGG has time, Serg doesnt.

I suppose if it's a stay busy fight then it would be ok, as long as it's not 1 of 2 fights.

Lee's not very good at all, he get's brutalized after a few rounds of running.

[The Gambler1981]

Murray will be able to take what Stevens did and do it better imo. That's the match-up I'm interested in.

I am down, I am down to see Golovkin fight anyone better than Stevens they would be interesting contests.

I think he would beat Murray but it would be fun.

[T18Z]

Murray will be able to take what Stevens did and do it better imo. That's the match-up I'm interested in.

Murray is taller, he's more prone to body shots, and I'm willing to bet isn't as powerful as Stevens when it comes to power.

I think Murray is an easier fight, because GGG wouldn't have to be as cautious, and could attack the body early.
