GGG Evasive Aggression (Analysis Video)

Dudes like Adama and other pies missing punches means nothing. Joke video

 

Good, great, (seriously) so he has plenty of skill and does not only have to depend on his size to beat Cotto should the fight at a catch weight happen...so ne excuses then??...lol.

 

ggg is the best of the absolute best, people saying he has leaky defense are utterly clueless

 

It shouldn't be at a catchweight out of the principle that the Middleweight Championship is a 160 lb title, but Golovkin's not an idiot. He'll take the lowest catchweight he can healthily make if that's the difference between landing the Cotto PPV fight and not.

The next step in his career is that he needs to be the B-side to a PPV. If that means letting Cotto dictate terms, so be it.

 

GGG is overall very solid....he still needs to prove it against opposition that is considered "elite" but so far he's done exactly what he is supposed to be doing with someone sportin' over 350+ AM fights and only 5 losses.

He comes with all the papers and pedigree that garners attention but Golovkin also is a Knockout artist so it's easy to sell him to the networks. The video highlights Triple G's qualities nicely. He's definitely a very efficient fighter....he stalks, cuts off the right and doesn't waste a lot of energy in the process.

His subtle defensive moves while hunting down his opponents says more to his extensive background as a world class boxer than anything he's learned as a pro.......that is instinctual where he slips and weaves his way into his own power combos that are very accurate against the list of opponents he's gotten past.

 

He's very good. Best jab in the game.

 

he jus a brawler who he beat doe?

-GGG haters

 

GGG does brawl a bit......Which is typical of guys with real power and believe in it. That's why he gets hit and some times throw caution into the wind. Golovkin isn't really super fast....he's accurate and heavy handed. But when he's in attack mode and taking risk....a good counter puncher will find their mark and expose some of the defensive liabilities GGG has shown. The positive is Gennady has shown he has a solid beard so it's always a 50/50 gamble when he gets a little loose in there....he might get hit or.....he might get the KO....He's got that kind of power.

 

Can you link me Vyt... I'm not able to pick up embeds right now. Thanks.

EDIT - nonetheless I guess I know what is being talked about. He's a close student of his opponent and responds to the level of threat he decides they represent only after gauging them for himself in the ring.

Against Macklin, for instance, he said that after observing Matt failing to exploit a coupla of openings he felt confident in opening up. I think there was something similar there against Geale - although Geale kept trying to shoot back, I think GGG figured that he could simply outgun the guy.

Also, although I shouldn't even try to play amateur psychologist, part of me thinks GGG had something to get off his chest or perhaps some statement to make to himself if no-one else. It was almost like he wanted a toe-to-toe when we've all seen him box smarter.

 

Good video.

One other thing: I think that one of the hallmarks of "poor defense" is getting hit with a lot of jabs. Name a bad defensive fighter that didn't eat a lot of jabs.

GGG, on the other hand, does not get hit with many jabs. According to Compubox, Geale landed only 7 jabs in 10 minutes (with the four minute round), for a 13% connect rate (7 out of 54 jabs). Macklin landed only 6 of 57 jabs, for an 11% connect rate. Adama landed only 7% of his jabs against GGG. For a pressure fighter, these are very good numbers, elite level numbers.

By comparison, against Mayweather, an elite defensive fighter, Alvarez landed 15% of his jabs, while Cotto landed 17%, and Guerrero 11%. Also, Rodriguez landed 16% of his jabs against Ward, another elite defensive fighter.

 

Nice music.

He's obviously technically solid both offensively and defensively, and the video does highlight some of his more subtle defensive qualities well.

On the other hand, I think these sorts of videos can be made of almost any fighter, handpicking bits and pieces and showing what the creator wants to show. In fairness, I could probably do one showing that he gets hit a lot too, even though it would be slightly disingenuous.

But still, I appreciate the defensive end to his game a bit more now.

 

Thanks for stopping by:hi:

 

If you don't pot shot and throw 5 punches a round while running circles around the ring you have "leaky defense"
