Comments Thread For: Macklin Warns Brook: Golovkin is Smart, Don't Let Him Read You

[Corelone]

is an aspect of his game that is seriously overlooked, his ring iq is one of the best in the sport, but gets overlooked because most people associate ring iq with boring fighters like lara, rigo, ward etc

Kell is the better boxer, he moves much better than GGG. His ring IQ is much higher, but... GGG doesn't need to box so much, his power fixes a lot of mistakes. One guy planted a sweet left hook on him, and he still landed his punch for the KO. GGG has good footwork, he cuts off the ring, but with that kind of power everything works. He looks like a boxing Einstein.

Macklin fought timid he was worrying about Golovkin power.Brook has to come in the ring confident not worry about Golovkin power execute his gameplan.Golovkin will apply slow pressure look to break Brook down.Brook need to use movement good stiff jab combinations win rounds

Macklin summed it up honestly and well.

True, GGG does seem good at quickly reading his opponent. Brook has to bring his best A game possible, and even then his chances of winning are slim

imo kell should time and ride the shots to take the weight out of them on his way out, the ingles have a history with balance and unorthodox movement so this will help.
if he trades its game over very early.
if he stays on the outside and comes in on the right balance he can throw combos and lean back riding the counters..just like hamed used to do with the big hitters. it can be done because he will be far quicker with this method, if he moves around like an ingle fighter he shouldnt have too much trouble in avoiding being walked down by triple G.
its the only hope obi wan.
