Julio Cesar Chavez jr vs Gennady Golovkin Master Discussion Thread

[Derranged]

Chavez Jr. takes so much diuretics to make weight that he craps all over the ring in the second round after getting tagged to the body repeatedly.

But then his management make some sort of lame excuse:

"The fight was actually scheduled for as long as Chavez Jr. can go without crapping himself and he was ahead on the scorecards at the time of the shittage."

Where did I say Chavez has fought quality competition?

I said he's fought better competition than Stevens which is pretty obvious that he has, but that's not very hard to do really.

And consistently failed to stop or drop that lousy comp

GGG is a highly technical power puncher who doesn't have to commit to punches to land with paralyzing power. This isn't some guy who fought nobody and now he's big. He has a strong Amateur pedigree, and one of the strongest offenses out there currently. Reminds me of Kostya Tszyu not many people gave him respect for a minute then he mopped up everyone in the division... I expect the same here.

What I mean by highly technical is this: he is a boxer, who happens to have ridiculous power.

This isn't some guy who just hits hard, he is a punch and get hit less then the the other guy and that's what makes him.... what's crazy is how many fanboys that come on here that don't understand how technical he is then start saying he's just a power puncher. He's an offensive genius and you guys make it seem like if you're not in with a world class fighter you're not going to get hit... world class fighters hit other world class fighters.... that's boxing.

I don't see how Chavez can win in this fight. Even if he survives the fight I can see some serious long term damage happening.

GGG by late stoppage.

Right but the point is on what basis does Stevens punch harder?

Because he's knocked out some bums?

I highly doubt Stevens would knock all of those guys out. I actually doubt he knocks barely any of them out.

I didn't say that Chavez is a devastating puncher.

This is going to test GGG's stamina and chin for sure! I can't see him knocking Jr. out, as Jr. is by far the biggest man GGG has faced. I'm curious to see how GGG handles being on the back foot every now and then. It's going to be a war! I'm going with GGG via very close decision

You're going overboard here, chief. Triple G is a very good offensive fighter, but he has some bad habits. He tends to be more consumed with what he's trying to do and not very interested in what his opponents are doing. His defense is very porous and his movement is very plodding.

He'll probably beat the **** out of Chavezito, though.

He's better at stopping bums than Chavez, so looks to have better power. That was his rep since day one, that's what had Dirrell running all night and getting banned from the network, and he's still knocking out them bums quick like.

[Suckmedry]

High action fight but golovkins power should be the difference, I doubt anyone can stand in front of ggg all night and get hit as much as Chavez does.

[Suckmedry]

This fight will be the test to determine if golovkins is a true elite level puncher. If he gets Chavez out if there he's the real deal

I think Jr's biggest problem with be dealing with the GGG jab. Whenever Vera used it he was able to get off. Lee has always had a weak jab. Sergio's jab worked well on Jr.
