      he does what he does and it entertains! He's beating everyone they put in front of him, he's fighting damn near 4 times a year and WANTS to fight all the champions in his division. Why the hate?

      Did monroe expose him? No. Did monroe hurt him? No. Did monroe have a few bright spots? Yes. Did monroe end up like all of GGG's opponents? YUP!
      In the end, fans of the sport should want GGG to succeed as his style will bring more fans to the sport. Hopefully Cotto steps up and fights him when his mandatory is ordered.

        No hate, but the fact you voted yes proves my point. That some people genuinely believe he got hit on purpose to lure bigger names and i'm asking why you think that. Well, unless you weren't serious in your vote. Were you?

          definitely not serious bro. i was just f'kn around with you.
          I DO think he's trying to entice future opponents into the ring BUT i think GGG is smart enough to know that 1 punch CAN change a fight too.

            Voted NO, but for me it was the momentum of the fight, no it wasn't to lure anyone, no weren't holes.

            GGG defensive master...NO
            GGG good Defense YES...re-watch the first to rounds and you will see how many punches landed on both sides(that is his real way of fighting). After that GGG went for the kill.

            Was an entertaining fight to watch. Thats all to it.

              Big deal he got hit. It's a fight it happens. Monroe didn't land anything big until he was hurt (a hurt fighter can be very dangerous). I'm sure GGG wasn't worried if he got hit after round 2, he had him hurt and Monroe doesn't have KO power. Too bad Kovalev and GGG aren't in same weight class, that would be fun.

                he shouldve run and clinched and thrown 10 pittypat punches a round, thats what real champions do.
