Comments Thread For: Lara: I've Studied Golovkin, I Know His Flaws

[El-blanco]

the kid had trouble with alfredo f#cking angulo. dude was getting lara to the ropes, landing to the body, and catching him with the hook on the way out. golokvin is faster, mores skilled, actually has a jab and hits harder and with more accuracy.


why does he lose to lara? why is lara some kind of boogeyman that golovkin would avoid?


he's either going to run away from golokvin all night [and claim he won,] or he's going to get his f#cking teeth knocked out. he has absolutely no chance of winning the fight.


when golovkin knocks him out the bscene rhetoric will reflect the reality that lara was an overrated 154 lber who went life and death with alfredo f#cking angulo.



that fight happened.

NE with the truth.

NE with the truth.

K Golovkin wins every fantasy fight hands down. Its blasphemous of us to question the greatness of GGG the GOAT.

i'd give paul williams a good shot to beat anyone golovkin has beaten to date

prime paul williams, or the paul williams who fought lara? different guys, obviously.


paul williams was eventually a middleiweght himself, and used to be a SMW on fight night when he was a WW. he's a completely unique fighter, and also has a tenure at the weight to back up your opinion. HW reach, southpaw, solid chin at the lower weights, high volume.


still, he was stretched by martinez, a much lesser puncher than lemieux. by tyhe time he made it to 160 the wars had started to catch up. i'm also not concinced that he didn't figh tmargarito when he had plaster in his gloves.


don't think that golovkin would have any trouble knocking him senseless. the guy was always available to get hit if you had enough craft to get inside of his long ass arms. i remember how easily carlos quintana hit him in the first fight, for example.

have you watched lara vs angulo?


you can be honest with NE. i'm not here to make you feel bad. i'm genuinely here to educate people about boxing. i know a lot, and most of you don't.

lol you arrogant son of a b1tch. Yes I've seen it. So now we're using triangle theories to suit our arguments? Nice.

well golovkin is not just any middleweight. i'd pick him over lara or williams even in hypothetical pound-for-pound match-ups. just saying i think lara would beat anyone golovkin has faced so far (except maybe lemieux due to a bad style match-up), so if that's a pointless fight then all the others were too

to me the point of dispute here isn't whether golovkin should fight lara but whether it's even possible with the hbo-pbc beef. in an ideal world, i'd rather see golovkin versus lara than any other opponent not named canelo, ward or froch - wouldn't you?

a triangle theory in boxing and an analysis of styles are completely different things. styles make fights. do you not agree?


one is the idea that guy a beats guy c if he beat guy b [who also beat guy c.]


for starters, angulo didn't even beat lara! triangle theory, doe!


what i did was predict what's actually going ot happen in the ring to the best of my ability based on a style match that we've already seen with lara. angulo, who does nothing better than golovkin, but who does have a similar style based on shrinking the ring, had a lot of success with lara. he put him down and hurt him seriously. he was able to get to the body and slow lara's movement. this is extremely important!



you got your notepad out, brih? school can be in session if you're willing to learn.

lol its a triangle theory because your using a fight where Lara got put down to say GGG will easily win, which isn't true. Lara could have been off that night. Instead of us arguing like nerds why doesn't GGG just shut Lara up and knock him out?

Seems like his fans have more confidence in the stylistic match up than GGG himself.

i don't think lara has separated himself as some kind of can't miss 154 lber. i don't know where, outside of bscene rhetoric, lara has developed that kind of backing.

i know they're boring, but if you watch his fights, you see that the bscene rhetoric / backing and the actual ability to not line up. he's struggled with 154 lbers, and he straight up ran away from canelo alvarez [ a 155 lber .]
