    Can Golovkin Destroy Kovalev To The Body Also?!

    Or is the "focus" miking 160 even when Kova and GGG side by side are about the same, hefty torso...?

    No. Kov will hit GGG more often than he did Ward. GGG is there to be hit and a bigger stronger puncher like Killa would have his way Gennady. I think it's best GGG stay at 160 and not test himself w/ the guys in weight classes north of his. For his health

      Nonsense, remember "Ward, Froch, and Chavez Jr. all ducked GGG." That's the NSB fanboy holy grail

        Didn't they allegedly spar and Gennady put Sergey down with a body punch? (not that sparring matters that much)

        Anyway, any fight at 175 is a bit pointless for Gennady. He has enough challenges at 160/168 and he is way too small and too old to move all the way to 175.

          It's not only the body work what gassed kovalev. The clinch and specially how ward clinched (putting his weight so that kovalev is the one holding it) made A LOT too.

          Ggg has no F idea about clinching. And kovalev would hit him nonstop.

            ggg pulled a Charlie Z on him. Kovalev had just come back from a vacation and was taking it easy, Sanchez got g all riled up (he's got some 'tard in him) and he went full Charlie Z on Kov.

                Gennady and Sergey seem to be friends. I doubt either went all in during the sparring.

                Also, Gennady seems to not be too aggressive in sparrings - all videos I saw look like he is holding back and in interviews with Abel or Gennady they always highlight how sparring is about helping each other.

                  Yes, I know a lot of theory too. So what? have you ever seen him clinching properly? no you havent. That's why I said that. And you know I'm right.
