Kovalev sparred Golovkin and said that he never got tired describing him as a "machine". So good luck to Eubank if he thinks he is going to wear GGG out.
Kovalev has also stated many times their sparring was never more than just friendly rounds and he would never go 100% in sparring against his good friend. You would be hard pressed to find another fighter at 160 with better fitness than CEJ and GGG most certainly isn't fitter than him. CEJ has better hand speed and has wear you down power. If he hits GGG 3 punches to his 1 than he could easily stop him. I wouldn't be surprised to see CEJ land a 20 punch barrage unanswered and you guys call it a British stoppage even though GGG needs help back to his corner, tbf i am expecting it.
He has never been 12 rounds in his life and he has never faced real adversity. He will one day every great fighter does. This could be it, CEJ isn't the bum some would like him to be
Why do people find any reason they can to hate on GGG? I really have no idea why, as a boxing fan, you dont enjoy watching him fight? From a technical standpoint he is excellent. Why the hate?
I'd be pretty surprised. He didn't gas against Murray when he was going into 11 and GGG is an economical fighter. He doesn't waste energy throwing ridiculously high volumes of punches and then be inactive for large parts of the round like some guys...
I for one very much enjoy watching GGG fight he is one of my favourite fighters. I don't think he's invincible or the perfect fighter though, there will never be a perfect fighter. His super fans are amusing though, I reckon I could say CEJ is blacker than GGG and they would claim GGG's dad is black and his mum is half black so he is in fact actually blacker lol. These super fans get a bit touchy if you have a little opinion against their boy.
There are 2 sides to every coin of course. The **** riders anoy me just as much as the haters when you try having a discussion. Having said that i understand how you can overrate hime as oposed to just hating on him
When you are pushing the pace it is easy to be economical isn't it? Could be quite different if he's forced to fight at a pace he's not used to? If CEJ is allowed to throw ridiculously high volumes of punches I would assume he is winning?
