Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin Blasts Out Rubio in Two Rounds

[budfr]

****** refs always stoping fights too early, Rubio stood up and was fine, he could have continued. Of course GGG was going to win but still had a puncherīs chance, he bruised GGG in only one round which was competitive

[El-blanco]

he could not take golovkin's power. Ward got dropped hard in his fight on the mayweather mitchell undercard against a nobody. He fought awfully after that and got a questionable decision.

When people talk about this fight I'm always amazed they leave out the fact that Darnell Boone, a guy with less than a 50% ko rate, dropped ward hard. Ggg power is unreal and would certainly be able hurt ward, while ward has nothing to keep ggg off him. Ward can neutralize ggg strengths but I don't get why people are acting like he will just beat him easy.

GGG can be great. He is the only one out of the new guys that has that electrifying atmosphere, the kind Mike Tyson used to bring. All he has to is keep on winning.

lol. ggg sold more than ward in his first shot in cali nd cali wards hometown lol

Cotto is probably going to fight Canelo in May. I'd say GGG should focus his efforts on getting Chavez Jr. in the ring with him. Maybe the winner of Stieglitz/Sturm.

Chavez Jr isn't going to fight him, specially the way he's been ballooning up since his last fight. The second option I can get behind it.

Haha@maria.

Ya man that punch was absolutely brutal, it looked like he got hit on top of his head with a sledgehammer it crushed his head. He knew it was pointless even trying. Rubio can punch and hit him clean a few times, didn't even faze him.

376 Fights and hasn't touched the canvas yet, that's hella impressive. I will say if this kid was American dudes that are always on here criticizing him would be all over his jock. I'm noticing that foreign fighters have to fight both satan and god on the same night and win comfortably and still there'd be an excuse about why they are all hype.

[flat1985]

who will step up and fight GGG? everyone still saying he aint a big name yet lol.

[Weebler I]

Has the British stoppage spread to America, is it now an American stoppage?

Golovkin was dropping hammers, but still surprised to see a big Mexican guy like Rubio go out like that in just 2 rounds.

You can fight a heavy hitter and out-boxe him but when you are there with a hard hitter you are in serious troubles,right now every opponent of GGG look for a way out after few exchanges! Heavy hitter can put you KO with one punch instead hard hitter demolish you with every single punch one after the other!Julian Jackson was a heavy hitter,GGG is a hard hitter and honestly i have ever feared more the hard hitters,now middleweights have to realize that GGG will have a long reign of terror!

[MDPopescu]

First time in Cali, sold out an arena, most of the fans in LA on his side instead of the Mexican.

These are all good signs for GGG. I could definitely see a big 2015 year for him. Him and Chavez Jr in LA would be huge. They'd be able to fill the staples center for that one.

... Chavez Jr would only fight him at a catchweight -- namely 172...

lol. ggg sold more than ward in his first shot in cali nd cali wards hometown lol

that's cold, but true

Rubio did this same shat in the Pavlik fight. Kelly hit him hard a couple times and then he was like I've had enough.
