It's like Steve Kim said, Golovkin fights more like Chavez Sr than Chavez Jr does. Jr. needs to learn how to tap his opponents, hard taps then mix in power shots. Instead he's always looking to land that big punch rather than work for it. 6 minutes in and Jr is getting fucked up, Golovkin is playing with him literally. -
I really respect Golovkin, that's how heavy handed he is that he can simply touch you and snap your head back. A puncher that understands that he doesn't need to load up.Last edited by Doctor_Tenma; 10-03-2013, 08:36 AM.Comment

I agree, Golovkin is on another level even though this is just light sparring really. You nailed it when you said he fights like Sr, more than anyone I have seen. Even the way he keeps his head up when inside, chin tucked but eyes always up.Comment

I know it's sparring and neither is going very hard, but wow does it look like Golovkin could choose whatever moment he wants to knock Junior out.
I love all the half-strength taps Golovkin does.Comment

They work very well together!!! This is a light spar session with arm punching no digging in to one another.
You can see in the way Junior spars that he doesn't help himself in regards to work rate during his fights! He got out hustled by Vera for fighting exactly the way he spars!!! GGG on the other hand is stepping up and moving his hands, forcing the issue but still working his offense off his defense as well. He is a much more seasoned and educated fighter. Junior is a rookie but if he dedicated his life to the sport for 10 years he could do some good things. his hooks to the body HURT! RayComment

When was this sparring? Seems like it might have been a while ago? Chavez actually looks like he's in descent shape here.Comment

Once again...the only advantage Jr would have is size.Comment
