Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Wears Down, Powers Past Stevens

[Jloro]

Yup and like I said one could make the case that it was really a 2nd rd KO... a lot of refs would have stopped it there lol

Well for being Ko'ed he did good rocking and stunning GG left and right

[Light_Speed]

Good fight but a lot of refs would have stopped the fight in round 2 based on Stevens reaction with the way he staggered to his feet. Golovkin did get hit a bit so maybe other Champions will be willing to fight him at 160 but after tonight I'm not sure Golovkin belongs at 168 he's not quite ready for Ward and the likes but I could be wrong cuz then again I don't think Golovkin is used to fighting much shorter opponents, that can be very difficult and akward ..

I was thinking the same thing, fighting a short guy threw him off his game a little bit, and also the fact that Stevens offers such a small target when he covers up. I would have liked to see more uppercuts from GGG but it's dangerous to throw uppercuts against a good hooker.

I knew GGG would beat Stevens especially after watching Stevens fight with Brinkly.I told people that GGG`s defense isn`t any good,just look at his fight with Ishida and Rosado?People ignored the amount of times he got caught and only want to talk about his punching power,footwork and his so-called boxing skills.Golovkin is gonna get exposed as soon as he fights a fighter with good boxing skills.He better not move up to 168 unless its only to fight the slow limited aging overrated Froch.

LOL Froch is overrrated too? Haters are hilarious.

Let me tell you all something before you start saying things such as "GGG got exposed" "He doesn't stand a chance against Sergio".

The way your opponent fights, dictates the way the other boxer is going to attack him.

"GGG got exposed, he looked slow"

- GGG knew he didn't needed any slickness and quick head movement to win this fight. All he was worried about was the left hook Curtis had and when he saw he could handle his power, he decided to go toe to toe with him even taking a few good shots in exchange to open Curtis and hurt him with body shots.

"GGG didn't looked spectacular like in some other fights"

- Like someone already said, after the KD, Curtis went into full defense mode and though he has power, GGG walked through him eating all the shots he threw and pressing with the jab every single round. He didn't looked tired for a second neither.

"GGG defense is poor"

- It is a little bit, he gets hit a couple of times even with some major shots but the main thing when no one is knocking everyone out, is dominating the rounds which GGG did. He didn't lost a round and was on his way to a shutout.

We give Curtis the respect he deserves because he showed toughness and tolerance to the onslaught GGG brought to him, but in the end only he can do so much.

"GGG will get outboxed by other opponents"

- Maybe, but no one in 160 beats him, not even Sergio and all the 154 staff neither.

GGG vs Martinez(or Quillin) 2014 has my vote

Good post but I thought Stevens won at least one clear round, GGG got some work to do, he needs to sharpen up his defense. But to his credit it's hard to open up a guy who stays in his shell most of the time.

[J The UnBiased]

Wait, what? You're in red, have been forever, your name is J the unbiased, yet everyone knows your biased to any and every black fighter.

Leave and never come back.

I'm red because I think certain fighters that everyone hates are talented, I'll take that. I live in the real world, red's a color. You live in your own world where when your favorite fighter gets knocked out you cry and scream lucky "controversial" punch. Bye.

[Levity]

Well for being Ko'ed he did good rocking and stunning GG left and right

Except that he never stunned or rocked GGG.

[Check_hooks]

GGG is the real deal. Stevens should've quit after round 2

[Jubei]

Lmao rosado busted up GG's face at his first fight at MW and didn't do anything to Quillin for his 3rd fight at Mw where he was bigger

Buddy what have you been smoking? Why the hate for GGG? Did he beat up on your boy? GGG's face was full of blood from Rosado not his own and tonight GGG just walked through Curtis punches and didnt even blink. GGG beats everyone at middleweight right now, only Ward would be a favourite because of he is so smart and uses all of the tricks, allowed or not allowed. Martinez doesnt want GGG and i respect that, he is old and wants 2-3 more paydays against Cotto, maybe Mayweather or Canelo. GGG is the truth and Quillin got a gift stoppage against Rosado, Quillin would get whopped easily.

I gave Curtis rounds 1,4, & 5. Again, he did a lot better than most will give him credit for.

He landed what a total of 12 punches in those rds combined? You must be from Brooklyn or are blind? I'm betting on the former..

I don't hate him, I actually like him more than most other MW's but he is being blown out of proportion when he is more vulnerable than most think.
