Comments Thread For: Golovkin Blasts Out Rolls With Vicious Knockout in Fourth

[Chris Hanson]

Charlo would have killed ggg tonight. He’s not fighting Andrade. He will get exposed biggley

[Boxing Logic]

Like I said, other than being a little slow, there was nothing wrong with GG. He was just trying to get in position to pressure. I don't like that his output was bad as he was trying to get position, but he eventually got it done.

Other than major deterioation in the most important asset in boxing, speed, he's still the same.

Other than throwing 85MPH per hour now instead of 100MPH, Randy Johnson is still, to this day, the same great MLB pitcher he was 15 years ago.

Just watch it again in slow motion, not to the back of the head.


But you also claimed punching from the top down is illegal too?

You should stop making stuff up

It is. Go check the rules.

You can't punch down behind the head. That ****** hook that started the end was top down, behind the head. He didn't need it.

[RoyJonesJrp4pno1]

Ramirez vs Hooker is a great fight. These guys are in there primes and extremely motivated and tough.

[D4thincarnation]

Nope. I've seen this in all GGG's fights for a while. He fought a can in a competitve fight. He doesn't need to be that dirty.

Still can't find that rule you are on about.

The rules of boxing vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, and on whether it is an amateur or professional bout. A violation of the following rules is considered a foul, and can result in a warning, point deduction, or disqualification by the referee:

You cannot hit below the belt, hold, trip, kick, headbutt, wrestle, bite, spit on, or push your opponent.

You cannot hit with your head, shoulder, forearm, or elbow.

You cannot hit with an open glove, the inside of the glove, the wrist, the backhand, or the side of the hand.

You cannot punch your opponent's back, or the back of his head or neck (rabbit punch), or on the kidneys (kidney punch).

You cannot throw a punch while holding on to the ropes to gain leverage.

You can't hold your opponent and hit him at the same time, or duck so low that your head is below your opponent's belt line.

When the referee breaks you from a clinch, you have to take a full step back; you cannot immediately hit your opponent--that's called "hitting on the break" and is illegal.

You cannot spit out your mouthpiece on purpose to get a rest.

If you score a knockdown of your opponent, you must go to the farthest neutral corner while the referee makes the count.

If you "floor" your opponent, you cannot hit him when he's on the canvas.

A floored boxer has up to ten seconds to get back up on his feet before losing the bout by knockout.

A boxer who is knocked down cannot be saved by the bell in any round, depending upon the local jurisdiction's rules.

A boxer who is hit with an accidental low blow has up to five minutes to recover. If s/he cannot continue after five minutes, s/he is considered knocked out.

If the foul results in an injury that causes the fight to end immediately, the boxer who committed the foul is disqualified.

If the foul causes an injury but the bout continues, the referee orders the judges to deduct two points from the boxer who caused the injury.

If an unintentional foul causes the bout to be stopped immediately, the bout is ruled a "no contest" if four rounds have not been fully completed. (If the bout was scheduled for four rounds, then three rounds must have been completed.) If four rounds have been completed, the judges' scorecards are tallied and the fighter who is ahead on points is awarded a technical decision. If the scores are even, it will be called a "technical draw."

If a boxer is knocked out of the ring, he gets a count of 20 to get back in and on his feet. He cannot be assisted.
In some jurisdictions the standing eight-count or the three knockdown rule also may be in effect.

In other jurisdictions, only the referee can stop the bout.

Lol GGGirl looked slow,old and breathing hard. Rip if they feed canelo to you. You fought a 35 year old nobody. Canelo to much speed and defense . You slow asf

35 is the same age GGG was when Canelo fought him. Now GGG is 37.

[monkeyboy]

Nope. I've seen this in all GGG's fights for a while. He fought a can in a competitve fight. He doesn't need to be that dirty.

Fella, you’re coming across real silly right now. People have posted the rules for you over and over. Punching downward is most likely to get your hand broke, not cause any worse damage than hitting anywhere else.

Rules are no punching the back of the head.

Watch it again? They have this thing called a highlight. If you watched the fight you saw the KO sequence at least five times.

Grow up.

[j0zef]

Jesus Christ, throwing a punch from a different trajectory inst illegal. He didnt hit him behind the head, every punch in the KO sequence was legit.

Of course it's not illegal. He's a known biased troll with an allergy for facts. The thought process goes:

Do I hate this fighter -> Yes -> He's cheating/overrated/on PEDs/bum/ducking/diva.

[D4thincarnation]

It is. Go check the rules.

You can't punch down behind the head. That ****** hook that started the end was top down, behind the head. He didn't need it.

Nope, no rule states that.

What boxing rules are you following?

[alexjust]

He's been like this since at least Kell Brook, and a bit since Monroe and Wade. Canelo is a hypejob. He waited for him to get old. I tried to tell you guys. It just took GGG finally fighting another B-level guy for everyone to finally see the difference instead of saying "as soon as GGG fought the best, he looked bad." Bull****. So a welterweight is the best? Prime GGG would have sparked Brook cold in a few rounds, instead he cant drop him once in 5 rounds and BHop is commentating saying he has nothing on his punches.

That was like 3 years ago. Canelo fought an old GGG and still struggled.

Finally a sensible comment. Imagine even today's Canelo would have fought 31 y.o. GGG. I'm not saying it would be a massacre, but GGG would have beat him cleaner and more convincingly. And Canelo in his prime, having like 50 fights, still could not once beat GGG in a way that would be unquestionable.
