Comments Thread For: Golovkin Survives A War, But Does He Want To Do That Again?

[NachoMan]

Has anyone noticed since Yarde/Kovalev? everyone is actually going to the body now. People always talk about it but they usually just head hunt instead and think that somehow they will succeed where everyone else failed.

Campbell hurt Loma to the body and Campbell struggles to hurt anyone normally. Golovkin has an iron chin and Derevianchenko was sensibly targeting the body a lot in this fight too.

Deryvyanchenko was an absolute savage to the body. That was a big part of why GGG was gassing out. So nice to watch that kind of commitment to the body attack.

Your criticism is a bit unfair. How many other champions in the sport are knocking out the elite competition in their divisions? Knockouts happen mostly from clean power punching and top-shelf guys like Canelo don't get hit with a lot of those. When they do they generally have the beard to take it. That's what makes them elite.

You know your boxing.
It's rare for an elite fighter to get KO'd.
Lots of people hold Golovkin to a higher standard.
What elite fighters have Canelo, Jacobs or SD knocked out or even dominated?

Why no outrage for a rematch here? Apparently Golovkin can eke out controversial decision wins and he gets a free pass - no rematches with Jacobs or Sergey, both are vanquished after debatable losses. Alvarez wins a close decision and the bile is spread thick against him on every Golovkin related thread. Also, the ‘he’s boring’ excuse for avoiding Andrade has become a joke. The fact is the Golovkin team wants minimum risk while waiting for a payday with Alvarez. Golovkin actually turned down Derevyanchenko until he was dropped and beaten by Jacobs and exposed even worse by Jack Culcay. Then he was OK to fight as the quickest route to a bogus title claim. The double standards displayed by Golovkin fans makes them sound like catty high school cheerleaders.

I'm a HUGE GGG fan. I thought he won both of the Canelo fights with the draw being a robbery and I thought he won a close decision in the second fight. That being said I was surprised by the outcome of Saturdays fight. I was cheering on Golovkin the whole night but as the 12th round ended I was sure he lost that fight. Golovkin may have won a gift decision just like Canelo did to him but he needs to be honest and look at the fight and then retire! He has more money than he can spend in a lifetime and is taking more and more of a beating in each consecutive fight even when he wins. He's had a great career, pack it in and enjoy your life GGG before permanent damage happens.

I agree 100% GGG is too tough for his own good

GGG would still destroy Andrade, this guy struggled with Martirosyan & Jack Culcay. He's not that good

Derevyanchenko struggled with Jack Culcay, bro....

I was at a wedding I didn’t see the fight. Was it really as good as everyone is saying it was?

It was pretty bad ass

He didn't struggle with Martirosyan. He did with Culcay, but so did Derevyanchenko. Didn't seem to stop Derevyanchenko from beating Golovkin up.

Forget the cheerleader "fans", but the cheerleader media. I have yet to see an article call his victory controversial or an article questioning the judging.

GGG has NEVER destroyed any CREDIBLE opponent he has been up against.

Sure he can destroy Kell Brook again.

Andrade is cut from a different cloth than the cans littering GGG's resume.

There is a reason why GGG and his team avoided Derevyanchenko originally so he could fight a past prime , WASHED UP Martirosyan !!

Styles make fights, and Andrade is all wrong for GGG.
