Nah he was hunched over and guarding his body in a bad way. It was clear he was hurt to the body and badly. Beter brutalizes GGG
I know seeing GGG in distress at all is a huge deal, he is a human you know, but he recovered ridiculously fast. He felt it, scooted away real quick then that was it.
You can play it how you want but a NON puncher at 160 hurting GGG does not suggest good outcome for a HEAVY puncher at 175
Walks around at 190lbs Big head Big hands Big wrists Naturally heavy boned Genetically a superior specimen than GGG
GGG and Beterviev operate at the same level for me with Beterviev being 2 divisions bigger. Bivol is an excellent boxer and it seemed to me like the ring he fought Beterviev in was smaller to prevent movement so in a bigger ring he could beat both possibly.
Maybe you need to watch more Golovkin. He always fights from a hunched posture so that he can drop his elbows to protect his sides.
This is what I think too. Golovkin is just a bit small for these guys. He might be able to hang for a few rounds but sooner rather than later that size is gonna tell. These aren't just random palookas (or I'd back Golovkin) they are elite fighters at the top of the pyramid.
