    It's Great that Golovkin had some bad moments in there

    His one major flaw is that he doesn't transition from defense to offense and he freezes when on defense thinking as opposed to reacting.

    I am really glad this was exposed because now, maybe now, some of the top fighters will find their balls and actually fight him.

    And when they start landing on him and he freezes that's where they will get hammered down to the canvas. I can't wait. I hope Sergio saw that, I hope Chavez saw that, Quilin will never get any balls, not even on a lease. They will have some success and then they will be hurt.

    It's funny how Abel hasn't improved GGG in that regard because even in Gennady's fight against Bute in the amateurs. Bute started tearing up Golovkin and Golovkin was like frozen in time only to come back even more vicious and to annihilate Bute. Ouma had similar success and ended up receiving one of the worse beatdowns I've seen and hasn't fought since, he had a brain trauma

    GGG has no defence at all, all his defence is his chin.

      Quillin/Sergio/Lara/Floys/Any SMW beats him. You guys do the same thing to him you (mostly) all did to Danny. The only difference is Matthysse was much more proven lol

        Rubbish. Look his fight against Direll (slick, fast fighter) in amateurs.

        Gennady can take decisions without taking much risk and focusing on the defense. But that's not what he wants. He said it billion times.

        "I had 350 amateurs fights and I was winning on points. Now I want a DRAMA, a WAR."

        With his style he needs to take some.

          Would you back it up with the bet if any of those fights happen?

            I mean that's cool on paper but they don't want to fight him. I'm really glad you have confidence in them and hopefully after this fight they'll get a little more confident and think that they could exploit this and that. Now with Quilin though, he just don't want it. He doesn't really like it hardcore, he likes to be like Paulie and Zab which is cool but he's not made to last a fight with GGG

              Just because it happened with LMM doesn't mean it happens here. How did Sergio's fight with Macklin compare to GGG's? How did Quillen's fight with Rosado compare to GGG's? What would you think if GGG were floored heavily twice by Angulo or held to a draw by Vanes?

              Certain people are eager to jump on any moment when GGG has some issues, while ignoring the fact that virtually everyone does.

                He's also slow.

                His lack of defence and speed are his glaring flaws.

                He's not good off the backfoot and can't really fight off the back foot from what I can tell.

                He's comfortable coming forward, cuts off the ring well and can punch very hard.

                Definitely very beatable, though.

                  Kovalev destroys him though, no?

                    He didn't have "some" bad moments. He damn near showed his entire flaws in that fight, despite winning clearly.

                    It reminds me of Pacquiao vs Mosley, he clearly won, knocked down Mosley but showed he ****** at cutting off the ring and does not look good chasing guys.

                    In this case Golovkin showed he ha no idea what to do against some one who fights back. The only thing he did was increase his activity, not sharpen his defense or cover his head or anything.
