Will Golovkin Freeze In Strategy Like Kovalev Taking Body Shots?

[Lester Tutor]

Look at Kovalev's resume for guys that are pristine in wanting to attack the body...

Look at Golovkin's resume for guys that are pristine to the body...

And thus, the shrine of GGG petrol shall forever have insane pricing in Turkey.

Golovkin and Kovalev are not the same fighter or the same person just because they are from the same part of the world.

Golovkin and Kovalev are not the same fighter or the same person just because they are from the same part of the world.

Kazakh boxers and Russian boxers have their own accredited styles even though they shared Soviet Union horse meat back in the day.

The thing is, would anybody have thought that Ward could destroy Kovalev's body? Who is Gennady's B-Hop or Pascal? Is it simply impossible to think that Alvarez can't hurt Gennady's ribs? The narrative is that Gennady would've always destroyed Nelo correct?

I don't think Canelo has the style and physicality to work the body consistently. GGG's jab will be the key. I still favor GGG slightly.

Interestingly the most devastating body shot I ever saw was Golovkin against Macklin.Ive often visualised this fight ending on the ropes via a body shot.

No. But I would love for you to get hit in your "air bubble" and see how tough you are...

Alvarez does not hit hard enough. His best chance is to use defense and block shots wearing GGG down.

[Robbie Barrett]

Golovkin is going to take a lot of body punches. He just freezes with his hands up when someone throws combinations at him. He's a sucker for the uppercut too.

Body punches

All things that will cause Golovkin problems. All things that Canelo is great at.
