154 Pounder Ouma exposed Golovkin's defense

[Dip_Slide]

I think GGG has good defense, he parries and blocks well with his gloves and sometimes rolls his shoulder with punches, his head movement however is not his biggest strength and sometimes his head stays stationary much longer that it should. I also get the feeling that sometimes he loses focus just a tiny bit after 2 or 3 rounds, he doesn't lose focus for extended periods of time though but just like 5 seconds or so. Plus he hasn't shown his ability to fight going backwards or off the ropes, I think these are his weaknesses. I think busy fighters with good punch resistance can give him problems, his best performances were against guys that only threw one punch at a time or the fighters that tried to stick and move away from him, once you back him up with combination and stay in his chest he's not as effective.

he fought going backwards in the lemieux fight for the first half. until Lemieux was damaged enough then he moved in for the kill.


watch that and the brook/geale/monroe fights you will see GGG makes adjustments as he sees fit.

Been saying all along that he was exposed by Ouma
Just shows you that someone like Floyd or not even as good as floyd would outbox him all day long

Like Ouma and Monroe outboxed him ? Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't they both lose by tko to GGG ? Every fighter has his moments during a fight, but can he sustain that momentum for the duration ? Remember how Oscar showed the world the blueprint to beating Floyd.....lol.

lol Floyd fights nothing like Ouma. Floyd got his azz beat by c level Maidana. pillar to post pinned on the ropes and corners. no answers. 0 ring generalship. made him wear pillows and still lost that fight.

Ouma basically fought like holyfield in that fight. He got under GGG and went into a guerilla warfare with GGG, trading blow for blow. Then GGG put his head on Ouma's chest and gave one of the worst beatings in his career. straight up beat him out of boxing.


This fight if anything showed GGG can fight on the inside. He can put his head on your chest, camp there and throw damaging short hooks from all angles.

the real question is, what happened to _Maxi and Elgu... those guys were always in Lil'G threads... now we're seeing new consistent alts in ggg topics! dassa great! Headshots might even be Spoon23

[fighter1234]

Imagine what Ward would've done...

[Graz]

When and if GGG ever loses a fight then he has been exposed.As long as he wins all his fights by KO and is a mile in front on points when he scores the KO he hasn't been exposed. He exposed the guys he slaughtered. That's the way it works in the real world. Keep on wishing and hoping. Maybe some day when he is too old he will lose a fight and make your dreams come true.

Very well said my friend. It's laughable how some wish for Golovkin to be "exposed" while he keeps pounding every and I mean every fighter he's faced. Has he had some off days? Sure he has but in the final analysis he's undefeated with the highest knockout percentage in MW history. Period.

Looks like recess is out on this thread.

Nobody ever said he had top-notch defensive skills... No one who knows what they're talking about anyway. Even the commentators for his fights often point out how little he bothers to move his head, which makes him susceptible to being hit more, but he doesn't seem to care since he has a chin made of iron.
