After watching GGG against Stevens..

[mathed]

Stevens won one round on one the actual score cards and I personally didn't think he won any.

It was a blowout and was only competitive at times because GGG was in destroy mode, which leaves him open to counters.

I kind of find it funny that Stevens, with his ex-175 lb, loud mouthed a55 couldn't even mildly deter tripple G even when he landed his trademark left hook. He must have thought that the terminator was after him in there.

Let's see if he claims that GGG has loaded gloves too.

Golovkin was stopped in his tracks and retreated several times in that fight to be honest....he didn't get majorly staggered or anything but he felt those punches.

It's quite clear he can easily be outboxed and counter. People talk about his jab and how well he uses it but when Stevens was getting a rhythm in some rounds he was getting out jabbed. He seem to have to reset everything he was trying to do once Stevens hit him. Also he shows that he can only come forward and need medium range to get off his shots. His distance and using angles aren't very smart.. He will get ****d shortly once a true boxer get in the ring with him. He's good but not great.. Matthyse was better than him.

Only thing clear about the Stevens fight is that if you try to outbox GGG, you're still getting KTFO.


feel free to quote me on this.

tell me which boxer at 160 can beat him? who can easily outbox him? Is this just a made up imaginary boxer?

GGG is far superior to Matthysse. Besides, there is nothing wrong with winning a tough fight. Here on NSB too many posters think thats a sign of weakness. I think its a strength.

Thats because most of those fools have no idea whats its like to be inside of the ring. It's easy to pick apart a fighter when you break down the fight second by second, if it were so easy to box GGG then Stevens would have kept doing it. GGG has skills, deal with it!

People really underrate amateur experience in here.

[Buckfever]

He pulverized Stevens. The problem is no one is going to want to fight him. He's got those effortless mechanics that just busts them up.

It's hard making predictions on anything. I can just say, How do you know that A level opponent has ever taken a punch as hard as his? How can we say that A level opponent has fought a fighter with the ring stalking ability as Golovkin? How do we know that A level fighter's chin has been tested against a puncher like Golovkin? And on top of that, how do we even know Golovkin would have to make a change? How do we know the A level opponent can or cannot contain a Golovkin maniac bumrush from the oppening bell?


It's not going to be Golovkin in the ring by himself, there will be someone else and they will have to make their own adjustments, etc..... this "A level" guy isn't going to just walk into thering and act like hot **** and know he's on his way to an easy victory. This is going to be serious business, for anybody. Golovkin would be a test for anyone right now. Anything that happened before in their careers gets thrown out the window



edit: you're trolling, oh well

If I am trolling, you have obviously fallen for the bait after writing a half-page reply to my troll post. But anyway, just because I am not sold on Golovkin yet and am waiting for him to fight top competition before I make up my mind doesnt mean I am trolling. Since you are valiantly coming to defend Golovkin's honor after I question the opposition he has faced, I can just as easily call you a nutthugger.

Alvarez, Cotto LMAO. Nice insight alt

Are you saying that Cotto and Alvarez stand absolutely no chance in a fight against Golovkin?

[Sceptic]

Hard to tell anything from fighting a fighter like Stevens. You can't rate GGG's chin because he stood up to Stevens punches because Stevens looked like a puncher against easy fighters. The only thing I noticed is that Golovkin is fighting fringe contenders and getting hit a lot. Some say it means a good chin while others say there is a big hole in his defense. We will have to wait til he fights a top contender to find out who is right.

Bad mismatches both, with 0 chance of happening
