Comments Thread For: Golovkin: Brook Not So Strong at 160, I Didn't Feel His Punches

[petegrif]

The story isn't that complicated:
a) Brook is an excellent fighter. Hell of a chin, technically sound and very sharp.
b) GGG could have competed with him on those terms but decided not to, why play to Brook's strengths in a technical fight?
c) decided to swarm him and overpower him
d) it worked

GGG gives you the clue here:
""I don't feel his power. I feel his distance," Golovkin said. "He has great distance. He feels [my power], and after second round I understand that it's not boxing. I need street fight. Just broke him. That's it.""

Basically, GGG felt Brook and chose how to handle him to get him out of there and it worked. That's his job. Nuff said.

Listen I am a GGG fan but he says he didn't feel his punches....I mean thats a little far feched, I mean yeah maybe he never hurt you but he DID put gloves on his face good enough to mark him up and make him step back a bit. I wish GGG would just man up a little more and not say stuff like that after a fight like that

Bulking up and standing your ground was a horrible strategy! A lot of people compared this fight to Leonard vs. Hagler! This was nowhere near that, because Brook was nowhere near Leonard. GGG is Hagler 2.0! Leonard came in 158, faster than Hagler, combinations and footspeed! Brook fought brave, but he fought ******! Good stoppage by his corner! Saved his life and his career!

He's lucky that was a WW serving him those uppercuts.

Oh man, if only big Lara was hitting him with uppercuts, GGG would be in trouble!!!!

Neither of those guys are stopping him, Jack certainly won't go the distance. But it's a "might". As I thought

I don't care what you thought... and here you GayLoveKin fans doing your fight "assumptions". Like GayLoveKin is ever going to 168 anyway lmao, he's not doing ****

Lara is good and turning his opponent...GGG would have a hard time getting set,and would get countered badly.

Golovkin drops his every punch...especially his left..Brook showed how easy he is to counter over his left hook.

I don't blame K2

I wouldn't let GGG any where near Lara.

OR Eubank, who does have good uppercuts, so does Degale

They won't let him near him because they don't want a death on their hands. GGG kills Lara
