    A lot of people were saying that brook/ggg was basically a street fight in a ring. Golovkin himself wanted that fight to be a street fight, so he fought in that manner and that's fight we got.

    So with that said, what are some other boxing fights that turned into slugfest street fights?

    Fights where fighters completely forget about technique, boxing, skill, tactics, and just have a good Ole bar fight in a ring. Lol

    Golovkin sure fought a street fighter but Kell didn't. Very slick counter punching from Kell. Would have been suicidal to trade bombs

    The last 20 odd seconds of nearly all Morales/Barrera rounds.

    What about Tyson/Ruddock ?

    Does that count as a street fight ?

    Please! The last one was Yamanaka vs. Moreno II
    Moreno said "**** it" and lit Yamanaka up from the opening bell. Yamanaka happily obliged.
    I think there were 5 knockdowns.
