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

Sergio Martinez destroy's GGG.

I dunno dude, I favor Gennady in that fight due to Martinez inactivity and injuries, also age.

That fight would've been epic 2-3 years ago (people need to realize, GGG is past 30 years old, even though he doesn't look it)

Washington Times starts an article like this: "Stevens showed speed and managed to hit Golovkin several times hard enough to make “Triple G” cautious about coming in too close."
Then, Stevens hit "several times", GGG got so cautious that floored Stevens in the second round... And afterwards Golovkin had a good sparring until team Stevens decided they had enough (just like in the Rosado fight).

Here's the punch stats of the fight last night:
Golovkin landed triple the punches Stevens did; 293 of 794 for Golovkin, 97 of 303 punches for Stevens (therefore Golovkin threw almost 100 punches per round!). Golovkin delivered 58 body shots versus 20 for Stevens; 235 punches to the head by Golovkin versus 77 for Stevens.

I don't understand what Stevens "did well" actually -- unless people give him props after he did get up from the vicious knock down and somehow continued...

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

You talk so much **** lol, You are getting worried your boys can't hide forever.

When they do fight hit me up i will bet all my points on ggg

I guess Martinez will not fight Golovkin anymore...
Martinez' best weapons are gone: his feet and ring movement...

Good fight, and Stevens was much tougher and more confident than I expected him to be. He took a beating but never stopped trying until he couldn't take anymore.

Hopefully the little bit of success Stevens had helps the rest of the division grow a set and fight Golovkin.

Props to Stevens - he put up a good show.

But most importantly, the cat's out of the bag on how to beat GGG - put pressure on him - he's no good when he's backing up and can't box off the back foot

That was never a mystery. Golovkin is a pressure fighter, and isn't as good going backwards. Problem is, who can actually keep Golovkin going backwards?

Good fight, Smart fight for GGG, he could have finished him earlier but didn't get careless.

No, man, he isn't a "pressure fighter" only -- GGG is now "in" and then "out" (in order to send all kinds of counters)... But as long as the opponent is only defending himself, Golovkin had nothing to do but put some pressure and toy with the guy in front of him.

If someone would keep Golovkin going backwards he (who does this) would be exposed to deadly counter punches.

What recent comments Broner made?And the point i`m making is that people are always saying blacks always playing the race card but i see more non-blacks bringing up race then blacks.Especially when its about making hateful comments towards blacks.Especially on youtube.On youtube i see alot of n words towards black fighters,and i see a lot of black fighters called Monkey.And when blacks retaliate people try to play the victim.And on here i see a lot of racist comments but if a black person say the same thing you know what happens.

Yeah, I understand what you're saying, the thing is you've got it the wrong way around.

Golovkin did what he had to do, take Stevens out! But it wasn't that easy cause Stevens turned to be better than what many expected & was game. Stevens is not Martinez nor Quillin, but he ain't no slouch either & he could **** & at times caught Golovkin with some good heavy shots, but Golovkin took then well..Martinez is still recovering from surgery(on his knee & I think his left hand)& according to his people won't be back till the beginning of summer, so Golovkin should try to unify against Quillin(& vice versa since both want Martinez) & the winner could go against Martinez..
