    I know that when i was fighting i would sometimes have trouble judging distance, and i would miss more than usual and get caught more then usual.

    The times i was having trouble judging distance i would just change tactics and let the guy come to me, then rely on timing to catch him coming in, or hold and try to keep the fight inside.

    I thought that GGG was having trouble with judging distance against Brook. It happens for no apparent reason.

      Golovkin really didn't give a good account of his abilities. A guy with 400 amateur fights and a great number of class professional performances allowed himself to get over anxious and carried away because he wanted desperately to make a great impression of himself. I get it, it was a large and new crowd expecting fireworks and an even larger tv audience, but Golovkin could've had a much better showing if he actually used his skills instead of doing his best Maidana impression. Where was that quality jab that we saw versus Lemieux? where were the set ups that we saw versus Stevens? Golovkin looked bad and he only has himself to blame. I will say this, as the fight progressed Golvokin started to get better distance and timing and it looked like it would've only gotten easier for him thereafter.

        And Golovkin made Macklin look scared out of his mind

          I thought Golovkin fought less sharply than he has before. Either he's getting old fast or he was indeed sick.

          But I understand why he went for the KO. Those judges were not going to give him a fair score.

I have already described both Lemuix and Steven's as being vertically challanged brawlers,who were both exploited as being as such long before fighting Golovkin. Those fights mean very little,and don't tell you anything about the way he would perform against an elite fighter.
            You assumed a whole lot about me, I did the same back. ENJOY.

              Has everything to do with no respecting Brook's power, you honestly think he would leave himself as open as he did throwing haymakers against a fighter who could rock his world? Doubt it, if you go back and watch his last 5 fights the moment he knows you can't hurt him he turns it into a street fight, he knew in round one he wasn't going to be hurt by anything coming back at him and went berserk, perfect example is also how he opened the third.

                JUST LOST VIA 5th RD TKO TO GGG

                  Then that was pretty ****** on his part because Brook was giving Golovkin all the credit in the world and went on to say he buckled GGG's knees a few times. GGG does the same **** every fight. He's going to get knocked out once he fights an elite TRUE middleweight who can punch.

                    Golovkin did not struggle , he won a 5 round TKO against a guy who is very good.

                    Either way Golovkin dismantled my fighter.
