This is the first top B-level fighter Golovkin has faced in his old and uneventful career. Lucky for Golovkin this was a welterweight with no punch. If it were Lara or BHOP,, Golovkin would have hit the canvas.
Weird how GGG weighed in at 168 and Brook at 169 on the night. Hearn said in an interview that Brook usually came into the ring at 167 for welterweight fights.
Some guys just put on weight after weighins. But it doesn't mean that they are the same size. Their frames looked night and day in terms of size. Leg wise GG just has small calves.
