Comments Thread For: Golovkin Drops Monroe Three Times For TKO in Six

[JJRod]

True. Ward is a fantastic fighter, excellent fighter, but his chance of knocking out top fighters, GGG included is slim to none and the word "Murder" used earlier by the other poster shows how emotionally motivated the statement was.

Yeah that poster is just an idiot with an agenda.

Ward is a good fighter. He is what he is. He's not a KO artist and that's ok too, not everyone is.

His problem in my opinion is he's always been his own worse enemy. Promoter issues, turning down big fights, and often not stepping on the gas when he's fighting inferior fighters.

I agree he's a good fighter I just wanna see him step up. yeah he could face yet another smaller dude coming up in Golovkin but I've seen ward fight smaller dudes already. Surely the more historically important and impressive challenge would be to see him go up and face a guy like Kovalev? Ward has a style that is not dissimilar to Hopkins and I would love to see if he could do what Hopkins couldn't. But I never seem to hear him calling for that fight.

You have the IQ of a dead Frog if you think Ward Murders him. Ward can outpoint him, he doesn't KO him, drama queen. "Murder"? damn, you must think Ward is some Mike Tyson type puncher.

Your piss poor argument would probably make sense if more than half of Ward's wins hadn't come by KO, stick to the facts, clown.

His defense sucks doe, he ain't slick doe.

I'd wonder what Tyson's +/- would've been if they measured it then. Because that's all Golovkin's +/- really is; overmatched fighters, doing everything in their power not to get knocked out. smh

Damn you are lame! KO's at the early pro ranks don't count, duh! Anyone who has been around boxing for more than a day knows that it is the KO's against higher level opposition that dictate the odds of a KO at the higher levels, duh. Queen, quit while you are behind....you are a guppy in an ocean of sharks right now. Put up or shut up. If they fight, put up 2K on Ward winning by brutal KO and I'll put up 2K that says he doesn't.

Indeed, instead he shrewdly got that palooka to half stave himself knowing that all he would have to do is breath and the dude would fall over.

Here we go with the excuses.

Good fight

The main event fight was good while it lasted you have to give willie Monroe jr credit for staying in there and giving his all. The co-main event fight was a little bit of a disappointment. I like roman gonzalez style I just wish Edgar Sosa came to fight. He looked shot and he was looking for a payday.

[Cuban Linx]

Monroe only lands 29% of his punches against a "stationary" fighter with "no head movement" yet GGG is "very hittable". Lmfao.

[St. Johns Gent]

so is ggg the new boxcino champ now?

Don't you think it would have been better for ward to move up. Always a bit easier to move up then move down.
