Comments Thread For: Nelson Felt Golovkin Looked Bad: 'I Heard He Started Camp Late!'

[Citizen Koba]

I actually agree with Johnny Nelson about Golovkin looking thinner than usual around the head region. I couldn't stop thinking that. Usually he looks healthy, glowing, all smiles but he had a kind of zombie look about him.
Nice one Johnny for spotting that one, too.

Yeah. This. Guy did not look himself - and I noticed that kinda vacant look about him too, waxy skin... guy doesn't look well. Still it's happened before - for the Rosado fight and he's got over it in time to fight, if not at his best. Hopefully that'll be the case this time too.

The media bubble & boxing world in the UK dooesn't half sound like a bunch of drama queens & teenage girls over this fight! Golovkin is ill, Golovkin looks drawn.. I'm a Brit & i wish they would shut up because its embarrassing! Nelsons a clown anyway.. One of the most boring inconsistent British fighters of recent years! Some of his fights were proper turgid affairs.. His commentary is biased & **** too.

serious question, was GGG given any IV treatment for this??? he doesnt look too good.

[IMDAZED]

GGG is definitely looking gaunt but it won't affect him this fight. But watch out late next year.

Johnny Nelson is clueless.

How he has a job as a pundit I don't know.

The fact he probably makes wedge doing what he's doing it's actually quite infuriating.

It's the sky sports pundit model though. It's all about 'personality' rather than your expertise or punditry talent.

The updates on SKY Sports website are the like of :

Apparently, the Kazakh has been delayed getting to the weigh-in. The mystery surrounding his condition remains and even grows...

Here comes Golovkin. He looks like he just woke up... He's 158.9lbs

It's a lengthy face-off but it ends with a handshake. We haven't seen Golovkin smile once today and that's unusual...

Presumably, Golovkin will be asked point-blank whether he's feeling 100% or not. Personally, I've never seen him looking forlorn like this..

The early signs suggest there'll be no interview from Golovkin. There's talk of traffic problems.

He may have actually already left the building. Hmmm...

I could just be they're just hamming things up, hoping for more buys if it looks like Brooks chances are rising.
But GGG does come off a little strange in the past few days build up.

The brits love tabloids and are even more celeb and rumor obsessed then the US, that is well known. Always will be more chatter on that side of the pond. Everyone keeps saying ggg have never fought anyone like brook. Lol. Hilarious. Look in the mirror. Brook's toughest opponent to date is porter; a guy whom puts his head down and bull rushes fighters. Brook hasnt even faced the same level of competition porter has after their fight. Its just talk thats all. I also think its funny that because ggg is not smiling, means he is not ready. Lol. Maybe he is focused and serious, knowing how big this stage is. After all it will be in brook's back yard in front of the biggest crowd ggg has fought in front of. Way too much talk from the brits on this one. Not quite as bad as khan but getting close. I think brook and khan might be more similar then one may think. And just because kell got stabbed does not make him a tough stronger boxer; that logic is asinine.

Haha

I guess it's this kinda of drama, whether artificial or organic, is what draws the non boxing fans in. They gotta push any pro brook narrative they can.

Doesn't make it any less cringe though.

The guy was only 4 lbs above the limit 30 days out! If anything he
will re-hydrate and chow down, and will look like a regular beast tomorrow night, guaranteed.
