Golovkin's "illegal punch"

I think Collins may have thought the punch was a further back than it really was.


If was like the shot Golovkin put Rubio down with but more to the side of the head. It wasnt at the back of the head.

I'll have to rewatch the fight again to see if it was at the back of the head but to my knowledge it was at the top side half of Murray's head.

 

golovkin was dirty with the top of his head in clinches. thats the only thing i saw illegal.

 

That leprechaun was talking out of his backside all night. He was just frustrated because he was yapping on all night about if Murray had plan he would beat GGG.

Its all good having a plan until you're on the end of a mutiltude of relentless thudding shots to all areas of the body.

Only desperate butthurt murray fanboys will believe his lies about overhand hooks being illegal.

 

Steve is Correct the punch is illegal watch him turn his hand not his arm to hit Murray on the top of the head

 

It's a perfectly legal blow.

There is nothing in the rules that says you can't hit the top of your opponents head.

Vitali made a career out of it.

Collins was just hating because he wanted someting to criticise ggg with and plucked that one out of his ginger backside.

 

Illegal punch or not Murray got beaten up. It sounds more like sour g****s or from people who really want to see GGG exposed than anything else.


The punch wasn't at the top of the head. It was one punch like the Rubio shot but to the side of the head.


Simply put it's sour g****s because Murray hardly threw any punches and wasnt trying to push Golovkin back in the fight. He was happy to sit on the ropes to try to survive the onslaught.

 

The rules in boxing is that the only areas you can't hit is below the belt line, neck, and back.

Temple shots are perfectly legal, so you and that bitter leprechaun need to familiarise yourself with the rules before spouting falsehoods.

 

schoolgirl bickering aside, I did notice that shot being thrown repeatedly by GG. I can't recall seeing anyone, ever, throw from that angle.

 

Borderline legal , if starts landing right in the middle of the head than that's dangerous..

That's becoming a skull punch.. ref should warn him there.

 

Every punch is dangerous, this is boxing.

Tell me where in the rules it states that temple shots are illegal?

Murray was brutalised fair and square within the rules.

 

Don't know wtf the uproar is about, basically whats happening is he's throwing a looping overhand , but instead of it coming from the back hand, he is throwing it from the lead. Now against an orthodox opponent that will land over the top of the rear hand (which is usally carried lower than the lead), smashing into the forehead/top of the head area. Nothing illegal about that at all seeing as the back of the head is defined as the area behind the ears.

Billy is I guess trying to say that he's punching with the inside part of the glove which is also bs as you can clearly see him turning over the punch and landing with the striking surface of the glove.

So yes it's an unorthodox punch but it is also completely legal.
