Golovkin is NOT an inside fighter!

Lucas is much better inside and does have an inside gams imo. Seems to be cagier and parries and catches punches better inside.

I agree, Lucas does tend to catch, parry and move out of the way of punches.

This is a badass round: Combinations, handspeed and good defensive awareness-


My favourite Matthysse round, Relentless and lethal pressure.

Yes, inside fighting is clearly one of his weaknesses.

This is why he will beat Mayweather. Mayweather can't hit hard enough to back him off. Plus, you can't throw 300 punches in a 12 round fight and beat a guy like this.

The reason why Floyd doesn't have that power is because Golovkin is a 160 fighter and Floyd is 2 divisions lighter at 147. Mayweather is 149 on fight night and golovkin is 170, of course he won't be able to hurt someone so much bigger than him.

Golovkin's a lot more dangerous at range. The key to beating Golovkin will be closing the gap without getting clipped. Punching and clinching, or smothering him will neutralise the danger.

Also got it confused and thought he could get off against Ward, don't see it anymore.

I agree. I thought he could beat Ward, I don't think he can anymore. He really has no inside game, if you aren't running away he seems quite average on the inside. Someone said there aren't any good inside fighters at 160, I think they're are, they are just much smaller than GGG.

so the key to beating golovkin is to cheat? you have been conditioned to accept cheating as a legitimate boxing strategy. how do you feel?

[Dean_Razorback]

you can't take monroe's word for real, the guy has like 7 KOs or something and before the fight he said he could KO GGG if he wanted too. canelo gets eaten alive

because you know ward will hold him lol. everyone knows ward will cheat and yet nothing is done about it. they just integrate ward's cheating into their breakdowns. it's just like welp ward will cheat and hold him oh well he has no chance. ward is just too good at cheating! what a great fighter eh?

Well Ward isn't the inside fighter people make him out to be but he can operate pretty well up close, and Golovkin throwing short punches may make things interesting. It's part of the sport, it's well established, get used to it.
