Julio Cesar Chavez jr vs Gennady Golovkin Master Discussion Thread

[MONGOOSE66]

Chavez faced one such guy and lost 11 rounds. Before and after that he's mostly struggling with GGG level opposition.

Chavez has 1 Ring top 10 win, barely getting by Zbik getting outlanded 2-1. Doesn't drop Zbik, who next gets stopped by Sturm's jab. GGG stopped and didn't lose a minute to the 3 Ring top 10 opponents he fought. TBF 2 were soft rankings, but you get the gist by now

Macklin was the only win that I thought was impressive. The rest of them weren't impressive. I don't know why your busting my balls over GGG unless he 's your brother. We'll find out who wins soon.
Remember what I said win or loose. He will be exposed more so by lazy/non dedicated Chavez than any other boxer he's faced. Chavez is taller with a larger frame than GGG and he loves to brawl. Brawling with Chavez is the only way Chavez has a shot of winning. Why give him a chance to win?

If Chavez boxes the same way he did when they sparred each other it's not gonna end well for him.

There were a lot more impressive than Chavez struggling past such guys and needing an occasional gift decision. Hey I know he's huge, a lot of heart and chin, so he's got a chance, but even his punching power is not very good so a Hail Mary is unlikely while getting a career ending beatdown.

joke jr will stink up the place when he fights triple g

[WilkinsOlajuwon]

I think JR will surprise a lot of people

[PulpFriction]

This will be a slugfest that will go the distance. I think after this fight props will be given to chavez for surviving 12 rounds and golovkin will officially be star. Golovkin UD.

If JCC trains hard, he could give a competitive fight. I think he could have easily KO'd Vera. But he wasn't in shape. He would stun him three or four times, but not go after him to follow up. you don't throw one punch at a time. Unless it's a jab. He landed a blistering left hook to Vera's temple, made him dance, then sat back and waited for the next opportunity. WTF?

There's no doubt GGG is better than Jr as far as pure skills are concerned. Saying that, I think Jr's size will play a factor in this IF he comes in shape and ready to go.

One thing I noticed about GGG, is that he doesn't have the best head movement I have ever seen. Stevens hit him, and sometimes he's there to be hit. I think Jr will hit him, the question is, how will GGG take it?

In the end I would pick GGG but Chavez' size could play an big role if he comes ready.

I dont have no prediction I have to watch Chavez and Golovkin's last fights.

I will definitely be watching this fight though, kudos to both fighters for accepting a dangerous fight.

He's there to be hit because he takes one to give one. That's his style. And I appreciate it.
