Martin Murray, who has firsthand experience with Gennady Golovkin, believes Kell Brook should know what he's in for on fight night, warning his fellow compatriot of Golovkin's reputable power.... "Every shot Golovkin throws kind of hurts you," Murray exclusively told World Boxing News "He's got so many good shots and he can take a shot too. Gives you non-stop pressure and just does everything well. That's the thing with him - everything it takes to be a top fighter, Golovkin does it well." So when asked about the chance he gives Brook to be able to pull off a massive upset, Murray gives a concise response: "I can't see anyone beating him at middleweight so Kell going up two weights is a tough ask." Murray's words of wisdom here aren't exactly a surprise to anyone who follows the sport - Golovkin certainly has a fearsome reputation for a reason. And when you combine that reputation with an upcoming fight against a career welterweight, well, let's just say you'll be hard-pressed to find anyone who doesn't think the results of this fight is a foregone conclusion...
Pressure the pressure fighter!!! Why has no one tried that yet? Nobody like to get hit no matter what they do in the ring. After a while those hits you thought were weak start to accumulate. Brook is not slick but he needs to box and brawl a bit just to last 12.
We know Golovkin is going to batter poor Brook. He isn't going to last as long as Murray did either, so Martin doesn't have to worry about that. Give the bloke some real advise, it isn't going to do him much good anyway
He is not big enough to do that. This tactic might be semi-successful if used by one of the SMW's, even possibly one of the uber large JMWs (some are much bigger than Golovkin), but not a WW coming up.
