It has practised that sort of thing in the gym with bigger sparring partners then yes it may happen. Otherwise inviting a big puncher in, without properly being prepared, is stupid.
Ok it's clear when ggg lets fighters get free shots in he stays still with hands down and motions with his glove for them to hit them if ggg does this with Danny that would take the confidence away from him
I still remember a moment in the Stevens fight where ggg let Stevens hit him who the hell lets Curtis Stevens get free shots in? Andre Durrell ran all night from Stevens
Amazing fighter the difference how dirrel dealt with Stevens and how ggg dealt with him is like night and day
I think Golovkin only does this when he knows the other fighter can't hurt him or can't hurt him anymore caused by fatigue. I'm sure we won't see this in the first 4 rounds vs Jacobs. IMO Golovkin will throw a lot of Jabs in beginning of this fight
KK17 nailed it. Golovkin won't take chances with Jacobs. Even a monster chin can be cracked if it's hit just right by a heavy handed dude. It's going to be Lemieux 2.0, as it should be. I actually prefer the "boxing" version of Golovkin.
This type of cockiness can lead to disaster. Robert Peden vs Nate Campbell . Chris Weidman vs Anderson Silva one. Both were clocked by left hooks and deserved to be ko for their arrogant , disrespectful behavior.
I don't think he will. I hope he doesn't, because it would be stupid. But G has seemed fairly smart on who he fights stupid against and who he hasn't. I expect a Lemieux type of performance, which probably leads to Jacobs lasting a few rounds longer than he would than if G did choose to fight stupid. But just a much safer, smarter approach for G.
I don't think he does that to "dish it out". He just loses discipline when he doesn't respect his opponent's power.
