Gennady Golovkin vs. Curtis Stevens Predictions & Info

[mathed]

I favour Golovkin in a bout with a 2013 version of Martinez. His ability to cut off the ring is a key determinant. Also, it doesn't seem that difficult to get into range with Martinez if a high guard is maintained as Murray did.

"1-2, 1-2, 1-1-2"....all night long. That's before the heavy multi-punch combinations start coming. If you are offensive against Martinez and you are slow.........you are taking a beating in one way or another.

if martinez' people had your confidence they would have taken the fight already.

are the people who said GGG looked bad the same people who are saying stevens was no good?

The Curtis Stevens we just saw would destroy any version of Sergio Martinez.

Aaannndddd this thread has taken a turn for the worse....


on a side note tha KD face is too epic. It's like his soul was punched out of his body and got up and was like "Wtf, soul!? Where are you!? Wtf was that? did I get sniped? Am I dead? -looks at trainer- Am I dead!?"

What I'm trying to say is, Murray took those 1-2s with his guard up, got close and nailed Martinez. I'd venture Golovkin is better at cutting off the ring than Murray.

Not writing Martinez off, especially if his movement is 100% but I favour Golovkin 65-35 in that one.

Dude, that was in an outside arena in the midst of a *******ial downpour. Sergio re-injured his knee in training camp for that fight and was fighting outside in a tempest. I like how people leave that out...HBO had to re-arrange their fight scheduling because of the storm....they thought the fight was going to get cancelled.

Had they fought at MSG, for instance or another indoor arena, Murray gets phuked up.

I think Murray has decent power though.

He's big at MW with good defense and a good counter puncher.

I favour Golovkin for sure but it would be a good fight I think.

He's not that good of a counter puncher, he's more proactive than reactive which suits GGG better.

Likely.

Both apply.

Golovkin didn't look bad overall but he definitely looked bad in parts.

And I'm sure everyone knows Stevens isn't very good.

Not sure lad pissed out my skull.

Just because you win in boxing doesn't mean everything is alright~ it was alright tonight because the right guy was in front of him who nobody thought would last 6 rounds who wasn't trying to pull a flier out of their ass to look smart.

He beat Stevens so what~ a fringe guy and he didn't look overly impressive. Now it is only one fight so making too much a big deal over a win is not very wise but one should always look at both the positives and the negatives. There are guys much better than Stevens out there and it doesn't take that much to go from winning a fight like that to getting crushed.

Dude really stfu please!

Chris Mannix @ChrisMannixSI 3m Stopped in Golovkin's locker room. Asked if he thought Stevens was a big puncher. "He's not very powerful."
