Three times Golovkin let himself be hit in the face

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

You're a ****ING idiot if you think a boxer let's himself get hit on purpose. And that goes for anybody who shares the same sentiments as op.

I honestly feel embarrassed. It saddens me when the people I like chatting about boxing with turn out to be so insecure and delusional that they pretend their favorite boxer is catching clean shots on purpose. No boxer is perfect. They ALL have flaws. Stuff like this is cringe-inducing.

It's fkin incredible isn't it? It's fkin sad that in a boxing forum we get these type of threads. ****ing casuals, man.

The boxers in your avatar are a bit overrated. Now go ahead, curse me out for having a different opinion jerkoff

Way to not actually respond to what was posted and just reveal your hater bias. IF you think GGG was trying to avoid those punches, at least in the first two clips, you DKSAB.

I'd say he let Monroe hit him a lil bit. Mostly I think he feels a guys power and knows he can take shots to deliver his own to get the guy out so he doesn't care. Against Lemieux he knew that wasn't a good idea and from the opening bell he maintained his defensive awareness and controlled the fight in a completely different way than we've seen in other fights.

Stopped reading at "stuff jones"... lol
Every time I've seen that name on here, the content to the right of it is just trash.

He definitely looked different against guy who can KO you in Lemeiux but who's very limited with no head movement or speed!

Wait till he fights a fighter with range and can slip the inside and is very rugged on the inside, and turns punches well!

Good post. Well said.



Canelo won't be his hardest opponent, only the biggest name.

What Canelo does with stationary targets is irrelevant because Golovkin won't be sitting still in front of him and even when he does in spots, Golovkins defense is better and so is his punch repertoire.


All of this would be true....if we were talking about Brandon Rios.

I don't have to much to say to you on this topic because I know you know boxing, but you still sit here and pretend like Golovkin isn't a complete fighter. His defense is excelent, choosing to get tagged against certain guys doesn't change that, as I alluded to earlier in this thread.

I don't for a second believe you believe your own post because a guy like you is smart enough to see the difference between face first brawling, and setting aside the best practices of defense in the name of gamesmanship.

golovkin's not an excellent defensive fighter. he's not a "face first brawler," and he defends a lot better than rios, but he's far from excellent defensively. he gets hit a lot for a pound for pound fighter.

golovkin "sets aside the best practices of defense" in the name of offense much more than for gamesmanship. saying that he's only getting hit because he "wants to get hit" is naive. he gets hit because he wants to hit the other guy. there are only a handful of instances in his career where he's actually let a guy get a free shot, and he's cerainly been hit cleanly more than that handful of times.
