geale had bad luck tonight

I thought he got hit more on the ear/side of the head than the back.

 

I just had the no defense thing sink in. lol You really think he's doing this at this level with no defense?

 

Spot on, had everything against him from start. Poor falla.

 

No defence? Who has tagged him clean or knocked him down?

 

He didnt walk through Stevens. He did get caught some though. I dont think a lot of it, I watch other fights and even Ward gets hit. Maybe what bothers some people is he gets caught by punches some other boxers wouldnt get caught by?

That Golovkin models his pro style after Chavez Sr is no secret. His style is definitely not mainstream amongst modern trainers. I think the style that differs so much from Mayweather and Ward is what throws people.

For me the biggest question mark, is what happens if someone does find a way to give him trouble. Can he adapt during an elite level bout, when facing an elite guy with an elite corner who had a plan A or B that actually works? Or will he succumb to the temptation to fall too much in love with his power, just try for more of it, and forget his jab and footwork which is what IMO is most responsible for his rise?

 

Golovkin landed a huge punch on the ear of Geale, the video does not lie...............Geale was not hit behind the head at all.............Geale was not in Golovkin's class...............

 

You didn't need to go further than no. 1.

 

His defence is pretty good for a come forward fighter looking to stop his opponent.

 

Landed on side, scraped across back of head. Was because of the the way Geale was trying to duck, but was too slow. Was not aimed at back of head.

A ref could probably have called it no knockdown if he wanted to. But it was a legally aimed punch, if you move the back of your head into a punch its generally legally considered your own fault not an illegal blow.

 

I have watched it is slow motion in HD, that punch landed on Geale's ear, but it doesn't really matter, Geale was out classed anyway and would have been knocked out......................the punch was on the ear..............watch carefully......................behind the head would be at the base of the skull, not the ear.................

 

Unlucky but GGG is superior to Geale.
