    Did Golovkin just get old?

    Is it just me, or did ggg look slow(feet and hands) and a bit sloppy? His body looked soft and he was breathing heavy after the 1st round. He definitely lacked the overall sharpness I've seen in the past.

    ....or was it that he didn't take the fight seriously and didn't train as well as he could?

    his body did look soft. not nearly as tight and ripped. but wade tapped out and slow rolled it up to not make that count. he could have made it.

        That happens when you dont have that much respect to your opponent. He did look slow but mainly because of what he saw in front of him that he didnt felt any threat.

        Beast!! Love how the man doesnt waste any time and goes for the stoppage anytime he gets!!

          GGG knew that this was a pre-cooked steak for him to eat. Wade looked defeated in the dressing room while "warming up." He knew he was cattle being led to slaughter. Thankfully GGG finished this fight quick. He can fight in June against another no-hoper and hopefully after Canelo finishes Kahn off in 3-4 rounds, they'll fight in Sept

              He's been breathing heavy after the first or second round for awhile. It's never mattered before and it certainly didn't tonight.

                I guess his next fight, if it's against a real opponent, will tell the tale.

                  i don't think so....in this fight golovkin looked a lot more slower and just overall sloppy. he is 34. but it doesn't matter because wade wasn't really looking to make anything count.

                  what i saw tonight was buffoonery.....

                    The only thing i noticed is he didn't look as ripped.
