Comments Thread For: HBO's Lampley Explains: Golovkin is Slipping, He's Deteriorating

[kafkod]

Technically, he's Asian. His mother is Korean and his father is Kazakh. Kazakhstan is in the continent of Asia.

GGG's father was Russian.

He only "aged" when he stepped up in competition. That's just coincidence though and has nothing to do with him not looking as good.

Yup, nothing to do with simple arithmetic (actual objective evidence) and him being in his mid thirties.

There is no connection between Golovkin's age and Golovkin getting older. That's just an excuse invented by his fanboys.

Lampley thought he was calling the Amir Khan fight! Canelo landed some good ones, but Golvokin didn't move...a George Chuvalo type chin!

Speaking of Khan....did you or anyone else notice him starting to slur on the Parker-Fury broadcast? He sounds like he has spit in his mouth in between words. Even if he stops boxing right now, he's going to sound like James Toney in a few years. F'n sad.

It wasn't most people's eyes it was there ears cuz if they used their eyes & not listen to Jim lampley or harold ledderman they would SEE that lil g has two losses in a row. He don't look that good.

not a very sharp assessment. You are aware that hbo announcers are notorious for giving Canelo more credit than he deserves when calling fights. It's in the best interests of hbo to have Canelo win because he's the younger star with a bigger fan base. If they had ggg winning, it's because they really saw ggg winning along with 90% of the boxing world. There's only a few Canelo fans in denial who refuse to accept the truth. Perfect example being yourself.

[Irony123]

That's impossible Lampley GGG is in his prime and will always be until he loses so that we can all say he wasn't that good.

[Outwest Exp 355]

Damn you're right....he has the same struggle as every other fighter in Boxing history. You "people" are so convinced that GGG is a flawless machine that you are amazed at his human traits. He's no machine, he's just vastly superior to other fighters between 147-200

You "people " are so desperate for a great white fighter you ignore all of his flaws. Go back to hockey and leave the boxing to the people of color. And for the record GGG still is the number one MW, however I still fancy both Canelo and Jacobs in a rematch.

[Sledgeweather17]

Actually I think almost everyone agreed he looked slower against Brook. Why shouldn't he age and decline? Almost every fighter I can think of did so by 35,some long before it.

So he looked slower the first time he fought an elite talent? That means he has aged right? It has nothing to do with stepping up the level of competition?

[Vnecaxa]

Wasn't this fight about to show who was the A-side and best boxer in the post-Mayweather era was? In the end the New Face of Boxing and HBO darling was booed by a pro-canellow crowd in a Mexican national holiday. Canellow was lucky judges were paid off and gave him a draw. Who is the mediocre boxer now?

Speaking of Khan....did you or anyone else notice him starting to slur on the Parker-Fury broadcast? He sounds like he has spit in his mouth in between words. Even if he stops boxing right now, he's going to sound like James Toney in a few years. F'n sad.

That is sad! He is a young guy. Hope it was something else that made him slur his words.

[Sledgeweather17]

This didn't seem to effect him as an amateur at the highest level though, knocking out Bute through a head guard and beating Dirrel ect. He clearly seems slower, accentuated by the fact that Brook is very skillful and being lighter abit quicker. But Golovkin looks visibly slower in every way. Why wouldn't age be catching up with him at 35,when it has with everyone else in boxing history?

Because GGG has no Mileage. He been stopping all of his bum opponents and according to you Gtards, he has great, mayweather level defense and didn't get hit a lot in those short, bum fights.

So where is the mileage for him to make him such an aged fighter?

You can't have it both ways. Pressure fighters lose a lot of mileage because they get hit a lot, but yawl been feeding us this GGG has good defense nonsense for years so you can't use that excuse.

Also, his fights never went the distance which means even less mileage.

He hasn't been in wars coz his bum opponents retreated and got KO'd early so there again, less mileage.

But now that he exposed by higher level comp yawl wana cry age? Same guys who wanted a 40 year old welterweight to fight a middleweight 'power puncher' and awana cry age now?

SMH! Can't make this shieeet up!

Ps. Charlo knocks out this fool in 8 rounds.
