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

[T18Z]

Yeah right.

He just isn't good defensively.

More like he knows the difference between boxing and putting on a big show.

First two rounds hit with nothing.

Realizes Willie can't hurt him? Give the crowd some action and the other fighter a chance to show what he's made of. Not everyone is obsessed with being a defensive wizard, when it's clearly not even needed.

He was much more evasive and patient vs Rubio and Stevens, hmm, I wonder why?

[JJRod]

Knocking out taxi drivers in Mexico (Rubio)? Come on you know what i am talking about, Weeb. I won't say he will be exposed because that saying is for casuals. I mean he will either lose when he faced someone who can punch and fight, or maybe we will see him take it to another level. All i am saying is that he needs to fight someone where the odds are close. I think Canelo, if doesn't fight scared, will beat him. I fell for the Tyson hype in my days, i won't fall for the Golovkin one.

To be fair Rubio knocked out Lemieux. The guy people are saying GGG should fight next.

I predicted 6 rounds. Monroe gave his best effort but GGG was too much for him. He possibly could've done better with more experience. He landed some decent shots in the fight though.

I thought monroe was this elite mover type, but he couldnt run nowhere in that small ass ring..the playing field needs to be leveled.. I want a rematch in the ring leonard-duran II went down. . Once i saw that tiny ring i knew it was over

[SteveM]

GGG is a monster, he has skill but its mainly cus he can take a shot and hits like a semi truck. if u take those 2 things away he wouldnt be half the monster. but its gonna take a guy who can take his shots and hit hard back, or someone who can slip his shot for 12 rds lol

Yeah and if you took away Cotto's punching power, Ward's clinching and leg movement, Floyd's legs and defense and Pacquiao's speed they would ALL have many more losses on their records. And if we took away half your brain what would be left?

[turnedup]

Man played with his food and people talking about he looked vulnerable lol. Good fight, Monroe has some tools and possibly a great future ahead of him but he was in there with too much man tonight..this fight was done in the second round the rest was a gift.

[Porter's Dad]

I need to rewatch the GGG/Stevens fight, but in my recollection GGG did some quality boxing in that matchup, not letting himself eat too many clean punches, unlike tonight.

I think GGG learned that Monroe is light fisted and then got...******.

The Stevens fight is quite interesting, because GGG is quite tentative at points in that fight because he knew Curtis could ****.

Against Monroe, he truly did not respect his power. Abandoned the best jab in boxing to go full-on attack. Looked kind of sloppy but I don't find these glaring faults in his defence. He focus on defence is dependent on the opponent. Ultimately, when you are as offensively spectacular as he is, you are going to sacrifice defence. Same with Mayweather and offence. The perfect fighter who is brilliantly offensively and defensively does not exist.

[SteveM]

Golovkin's English is getting a bit better now (about time too) - he's learnt how to call out the duckers better. He paused a bit when Ward's name was called out - he obviously see's Ward as being a step up from Canelo and Cotto.

ggg-cotto is a replay of cotto-margarito I... Except more brutal, i dont wanna see that sht.. Cotto gave us enough wars, he can slide for ducking this guy.. Why do yall wanna see cotto beat half to death? Dont yall care for his health.. mayweather my boy but hell no.. i want ggg to move up and fight kovalev..
