Why are you talking all that tough shi,.t?? Calm your sissy as.s down. Adama did nothing to deserve a title fight and you'd be a fool to deny it.
GGG has very good subtle defensive skills. His face is hardly ever marked up, and I have never seen him close to being hurt. He is solid. He would not need even good defense against Ward, since Ward has less power than most guys GGG has fought. The biggest threat from Ward is his head and his incessant holding. So, if that match is ever made, it will have to be on neutral grounds - NOT CA - with a referee preferably not from the USA.
He was #3 in the IBO. This was an IBO defense. Geale #1 in the IBO turned down the fight, Sturm #2 in the IBO turned down the fight. The #3 took it. That's how he got the fight. You need to learn more about the sport, apparently.
The real 'can man' is 32 years old fightings bums off TV.:deal At least Broner got paid for that as.s whipping...more than GG has ever earned. Adama is the kind of fighter they feed to 21 year old prospects..
Dude's got great defense. Great defense. If you want to see extremely flashy, energy burning defense and running for 12 rounds, you'll hate it though. His movement is efficient, he rarely gets hit cleanly, knows how to minimize the impact of the shots he does take, and always leaves himself in a position to attack and throw back. He gets hit more than pure defenders because an offensive minded fighter will. It's easy not to get hit much for 12 rounds if you do it at the expense of your offense. The proof's in the pudding, though- come forward fighters with average or subpar defense eat much more punishment than GGG does.
IBO...:rofl Please stop. There were better fights out there...I refuse to believe dreadging up Adama from the bottom of a DEAD division was their only alternative. C'mon now. Sergio Mora looked good kicking Proska's as.s....he called out GG... Mora > Adama Anthony Dirrell called out GG Dirrell > Adama At least those fights would have been aired GG does not have time to waste padding his record with stiffs...
Against guys like Chaves Jr? :rofl:rofl GGG would Brutalize Jr. You want to talk about a guy with no defense that is Chaves Jr.
Great defense? Really? GG doesn't bring his punches straight back...he drops them to his waist....plus he pulls-back with his hands down. That's not good defense much less great. What happens when he can't move foreward?? What kind of plan B does he have?? He's so carefully matched we dont know.
