The jig is up on this 31 year old hype job. Stevens, just box, go to his weak body and use your defense. He wants a war because he can't box. GG's fans are used to matchups like this, but they are truly over looking you Mr Stevens. These same fans picked Matthysse to beat Danny's ass and were humbled beyond belief. Beat this clowns ass and send him back where he came from.
This ain't no gimme for trip G. If he makes a mistake, he will pay and he might find himself waking up from an overdose of left hook. The same can be said for Stevens ( which by the way, can also box ). This fight will be a test of chins.
This fight will be a test of boxing skill, maneuvering the opponent into a favorable position to land the best punches. power will be, as it always is, secondary to being able to land the shot(s).
Face first brawlers just rack up 350 amateur wins/world championships/Olympic medals all the time, right? Are you a member of the weak mentality camp and don't like GGG because of things you read in comment sections online. There seems to be a lot of people in that camp. "GGG fans hurt muh feelins!":rofl
Good for Stevens, a lot of middleweights do want to touch him, and he has this confidence. It seems only smw's want to fight him. This will make for a good fight, while it last until about the 6th round. You have to like GGG's response, "are you being serious, right now?"
Golovkin can box, he is quick, has power, good defense, great legs and 350 amateur fights!!! However, it's Golovkin's timing that I am impressed with...........that will be the key to his knockout win.............
Skills always play a role in boxing but the dominating factor for both fighters is their power and since they both can be hit, their chins will most likely be the deciding factor.
Purses for Saturday's card at MSG Theater: GGG $400k, Stevens $290k, Adusalamov $40k, Perez $30k, Afolabi $20k, Janik $20k. cannot believe the afolabi purse same as his opponent and an ibo title fight :shock: and stevens that must be a carrer high:huh
It's for the vacant title, so 50/50 all the way. $20K isn't much for that kinda fight though, you'd expect at least twice that amount.
