    This is a litmus test between the true boxing fans and the ******ed fanboys on this forum

    For instance "small bruise"


    Yet when HBo showed him calling his parents his face was ****ed. But small bruise lol.

    Cant wait till GGG steps up against a top 5 middle. Hell if love to see him against Barker or Macklin.

    Lets give rosado some credit too, he obviously did his homework in the gym an was making Golovkin miss alot an giving decent angles, he was in survival mode pretty much though as soon as he felt golovkins power, I'm proud of him going as long as he did, we'll see more from Rosado hes improved

    Completely agree with this. He showed huge heart. Probably stayed in a bit longer than he should have. But he actually made a few adjustments that allowed him to catch Golovkin clean with a few shots.

    His white skin is more prone to lacerations and bruises. Elasticity issues and all that

    Fair. Really was just a matter of how long he could survive.

    ESB hypes up to many lame guys an GGG is no exception. He gets wasted by Sergio and anyone else with skill. Was not impressed by this guy.

    well anyone who fights toe to toe with GGG is gonna have problems, that we all know for sure. Chavez Jr vs GGG would be a great fight.
    although Ouma took a ton of punches from GGG and stood right there with him. :think

    Golovkin is one of my favorites, but I was relatively unimpressed by everything about him last night minus the awesome power-jabbing show. He shows nice timing and when guys are stationary on the ropes, he works the body well and throws well-placed combinations, but there seems to be something missing. Not just defensively obviously, but offensively. I don't think he has the potential to be great at all - however, he's pretty damn exciting, busts guys up, and gets hit a bit in the process.

    I'm kind of hoping he thought Kellerman was talking about Chavez Jr when he said that. I remember Ward also adding that Golovkin had more power than Chavez (which is true for either Jr or Sr), but it was an odd thing to throw in when Sr fought from 130-140. That's why I'm inclined to believe it was a misunderstanding on Ward's part.

    ...I hope so at least :lol:
