Gillete 1,338 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Carson Jones nearly got rid of brook in the first fight. Blood pouring all over his face. This guy is a monster who will seek and destroy. Martin Murray is a more durable fighter than brook and look how much punishment he took. team brook better hope he's got his health after this as its absolute stupidity going up 2 weights to fight a guy who punches as hard as him. Even Froch wanted nothing to do with him and he had a granite chin Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Froch wanted nothing to do with him and he had a granite chin Golovkin is absolutely the real deal, it's just ashame that being badly managed by Universum meant he was in his 30's before he started getting well known, that and the fact he was - for years - seen as very high risk, low reward, up until the last couple of years, he has found it very hard to get fights.... Which is why he is taking this mismatch - for Golovkin it is a lower risk, but high reward fight. For somebody that hasn't made a huge amount of money from the sport, getting 7 figures for what (on paper) is easy-ish fight..... it's a no brainer. Very, very few boxers are in a position to put legacy before cash - especially in a sport where every round might be your last. I do rate Brook, I think he's a solid Welterweight that is good enough to mix it at world level and pick up straps. However Golovkin is an established middleweight, who appears (IMO having seen almost every fight since Tapia), to be a pretty special fighter. I mean Martin Murray is as close as he's came to a struggle, and that was still a 1 sided fight, with a few close rounds. I don't think Brook has anything like the toolset needed to beat GGG. I think he'll give a decent account of himself, but ultimately it will be fairly easy for GGG. Fred H Crawford 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Golovkin isn't a 1 punch KO artist, he never really has been. He's more of a pulveriser than a wrecking ball and I think plenty fighters are capable of hitting as hard as Golovkin - that isn't what makes him special - it's the he does hit very hard - very effectively, very accurately and quite often. He's amongst the best I've seen at getting in and out 'the hole', his footwork won't catch your eye, but it is up there with the most effective fighters. His power isn't wild, it's controlled and pulverising. Without a Hopkins or Mayweather about at that weight range, I just don't see anyone with the tools to neutralise his offensive toolkit.

KingKirk 25,647 Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Not seen this afternoon's final presser but according to Eddie Hearn GGG looks as if he's been struggling.

I don't think it's struggling weight wise hes apparanty bang on the weight and aiming for 158 rather than the 160. Read it somewhere that he's not been feeling well due to the plane journey. Thought it was nothing but he's looking terrible in the pics today like he's white as a ghost Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

gkb10127 120 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 I am one of the ones who thinks this fight is a joke. But saying that golovkin looked terrible today at the press conference.

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted September 9, 2016 Share Posted September 9, 2016 TBH Golovkin being ill or injured is the only real chance Brook has. On another note.... wtf has Froch did to his nose Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
