    According to Steve Collins Golovkin's punch to the forehead/ top of the head is an illegal punch, this being the one used to KO Rubio. Can anyone enlighten me on whether this is the case? Cheers

    No ffs, it has this already been covered that Steve Collins is a bitter, ginger, punch drunk, out of his head leprechaun that had been talking out of his behind all night.

    it's like asking if Murray had a plan would he have won, which is what Collins was proposing all night.

    if the shot behind the ear are legal I don't see why punches on top of the head wouldn't be :bbb

    Top of the head is fine. Back of the head is illegal.

    If it's legal it's certainly a lethal punch. Would be even more dangerous if GGG starts throwing it when the opponent is hunching down.
