Gennady Golovkin vs. Curtis Stevens Predictions & Info

[samouraļ]

These "toss-up/undecided" folks are the bottom of the barrel.

It is really a question of which round. If Stevens sees the 7th round i'd be shocked. Stevens only has a punchers chance and he is a fast and very powerful puncher. However his skill set in no where near Golovkin's. I don't know whether to bet Golovkin 1-6 or pick either 1-3 or 4-6.

Definitely Golovkin 1-6 if you get that option.

Definitely Golovkin 1-6 if you get that option.

1-6 1/2
1-3 7/4
4-6 17/10

I am tempted to pick narrower.

Narrower is riskier, but if I had to do it I'd pick 1-3
Stevens is at his best in the first two rounds, nothing much after that.
1-6 sounds like a good safety bet

Don't get greedy. I have to remind myself of that all-the-time.

I know me too, it is just that Golovkin seems so consistent with hurting his opponents early and that Stevens doesn't seem to have the skills to be good at surviving that 1-3 in particular is so inviting. Will probably go for 1-6 though as I hardly ever pick narrower than that.

Stevens has been talking a lot about coming at GGG so usually when a guy says that he tends to do the opposite but in this case Stevens isn't really a good enough boxer to win like that unless his aim is to set a trap, look to land a Ko shot and he has a very good counter LH that if lands could end the fight , maybe he does try to push Golovkin backwards and go that route either way I give him a chance bcse he's somewhat of a specialist a really good lefthooker with power Noelse at the weight is going to outbox GGG(except maybe Martinez) so if he does get beat it'll prob be by fighting fire with fire

I think his best option is going balls to the wall and try and make golovkin fight off the back foot, instead of coming forward which he does with all his opponents.

1-6 GGG is the bet
