Gennady Golovkin vs. Curtis Stevens Predictions & Info

[Citizen Koba]

Probably bracing himself to throw the counter left hook.

I dunno, it is a habit, at least, he does it in other fights, but I can't see any obvious purpose for it unless it's some kind of feint to make it look like he's about to switch or change direction - I suppose it could be to look like he's thinking of throwing, but I honestly think it's no more than a quirk.
