    I would believe you, but Golovkin takes these same risks every time against any style. This time he was tagged more because he had no idea how to cover up against someone who was fighting back. He really did look the definition of 'clueless' whenever Stevens was on the attack. No covering up, no countering, nothing, just put his chin out there and it didn't look like he did it purposely, it just looked like he didn't know what to do while on defense.
    It's true and then he wakes up from his dream or nightmare angry and proceeds to be beat you up worse. Same thing happened with Ouma, Ouma opened a lot more than Stevens though. So Stevens had the chance to land even more on Gennady but he didn't want to fly out of the ring or be buried in it by a body shot so he turtled it in. Curtis is tough still and was very compact on defense I was actually impressed by him.

      Yes he freezes and steps back in order to think, it's definitely gonna be a problem against someone who's good at controlling rhythm (like Ward). But the thing is, in his bad moments he showed a great chin. Stevens landed his left hook counter and nothing happened. In a sense this might be even more worrisome for some promoters and managers.

        And those are opponents to show he can beat the like of Martinez, Ward, and everyone else he is supposedly going to demolish?
        Curtis was beat up by guy with a losing record
        Macklin was stopped by Sergio
        Proksa just lost to Mora
