    He's one of those guys that do everything well. I saw tonight how well he tucks his chin..yes he gets hit, but not very flush..hes a very patient and aware fighter.

      one thing I like about him is he's not in love with his power eventhough it's his biggest weapon. he's very patient with his approach and sets everything up with the jab. he always make it a point to mix up his attacks with head and body punches depending on the opening he sees.
      He is a thinker, always trying to setup traps in there. It is easy for him to trap guys on the ropes, then he tries to create openings. You can see when they go into a shell, he will try to get them to change up their guard to find openings. He wastes very little.

      I find he is almost too patient. He could have gotten Stevens out early, but it would have came at the risk is getting hit with a fast hook he didn't see coming, and yes Stevens could have knocked him out with a blind punch. Golovkin knows it and kept to his game. The guys with the solid whiskers, are the one with the in fight awareness to make sure they see everything coming.

          He's got an excellent left jab as well.
