    Golovkin has no style - he's multi-dimensional!

    He can be a swarmer or a counter puncher. Can do the infight as well as fighting rangy.

    Good punching power - can knock out opponents with one shot. Works well to the body...

    Golovin is was a top amateur that is turning into a top pro contender.Like Andy Lee he has agood amateur pedigree (better than Lee in fact)so he wont need alot of contests to climb the rankings.He will imo move to supermiddle soon and in the next 18 months take over the division.

    Let's hope not, for the sake of those fighters at SMW...

    (But The Great G is only 5 foot 10...isn't that a bit small for SMW? How big would he be on the night? As much as 182+ pounds?):think

    So, why do you think Larouche wants Bute to be less aggressive? To reduce the chance of him being hit so that he works on his defence, or is it something else?:huh

    I'm not sure. Always thought he wanted to improve his defence and make him take as few risks as possible. I thought that instead of making him force the action, Larouche wanted him to exploit weaknesses and mistakes of the opposition. You might be able to bully modest opposition, but against the very best, you need to exploit whatever weakness they have whilst keeping out of harm's way, to win. Maybe Larouche is thinking long-term.
