2/21 - HBO - Gennady "GGG" Golovkin vs. Martin Murray (Fight Thread)

[seemorecizzy]

I don't know if Sergio has the chin for GGG but yeah these dudes were straight status, I can't wait until Manny/Floyd just to hear the bias

At one point in the middle rounds Murray landed a flurry and Lampley goes "GGG showing great defense" I was just like every punch landed nikka what defense.

lol im shocked floyd would let jim bang bang lamlpey do the commentary
by far the biggest pac stan on the planet
he cried when he got knocked out for gods sake
mayb floyd wants him to get a ringside seat to the beat down
lampley might commit that if floyd gives him a beatdown

 

[Dr. Acula]

Or.......would GGG be able to handle Wards power? Who exactly has been able to get past wards left hook or jab?

Uh...
Ward was never a knockout puncher like GGG. He is more known as a master boxer. He UD Edwin Rodriguez his last fight and Chad Dawson was arguable significantly drained moving down from Light Heavyweight to fight him. That was his last fight to end in a stoppage and before that he was mostly getting UDs.

I don't think GGG will have any problem with his power, it will be his boxing if anything he would have trouble with.

I don't even get mad anymore I just at the fukkery. The blatant disrespect to the viewer with zero fukks given like we don't see wtf is going on.

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

How many times have we seen punchers move up a weight class and go when they aren't bodying dudes left and right anymore?

Even better question how many times have we seen punchers move up a weight class and get the shyt boxed out of them by a more technical fighter.....I can give some examples if you'd like.

I dont know breh, GGG got that rare power breh, I think he could take it up with him...

as far as punchers getting the shyt boxed out of them...thats another story

 

[mr. smoke weed]

@krackdagawd @mr.smokeweed yall think Ward could hurt GGG... I think GGG would be fine one weight class up we aint talking bout light heavy or some shyt..

my god breh who said anything about hurting? Am I in the twilight zone? Floyd doesn't 'hurt' his opponents but his power affects them. A head snapping jab forces your body to reset fam. GGG just showed balance issues while fighting a generic eurocac+ . Those issues would go away fighting Andre Ward? He wouldn't be able to get into position

 

[patscorpio]

Who said anything about stopping or a KD pat? Does ggg fight at 168? Has he faced a good boxer with power at 160? Ward's a top 5 boxer in the world you think he'd let GGG's home run throwing ass even get into position ? You don't see the footwork issues there?

you and krack were talking about ward's power not his boxing and talking like hes a puncher at 168..ward has the ability to outbox GGG sure everything else is a question mark..ward got KD by a journeyman...a cat who has an under 500 record and less than 10 kos..anyone can be put down

I was blown the fukk away! Usually Roy isn't on that bullshyt. I didn't hear a peep about GGG's wack defense, getting hit pretty much whenever Murray threw. What shocked me the most was that stance he goes into when he stalks--dude literally has his chin out and his entire body exposed. Also GGG threw a lot of wild home run shots where he was incredibly off balanced. I'm like wtf?! Yea he put the beats on Murray but if murray had power or was a better counter puncher smh. Sergio during his run would have ran through GGG.

the reason GGG left himself open is because he had no respect for Murray's power. he was content trading.

rewatch the fight and notice the only combinations murray lands are short inside shots (outside of a few good solid body hooks in the first few rounds). Murray only did these quick pitter patter inside shots cause he was scared to open up.

also, GGG is probably the best balance/timing in the division outside of ward. hes almost NEVER off balance. rewatch da fight bruh. its a sweet science the way GGG fights.

that being said, yea he got hit lit up a lot by murray this fight. but not a single shot even deterred him, showing either his chin, or murray's weakness. i think if anything, this shows how good murray is (couldve been undefeated up to this point), rather than GGG"s weakness.

murrays a solid world class fighter, and he got thoroughly worked up. iono what ppl expect.

The shyt is literally mindblowing! Usually Roy isn't on that bullshyt but he was yesterday

When you say "His power" most folks are thinking you mean their raw punching power. Its how that word is usually used breh.

I don't disagree that he has special power


There are more $ fights for him at 168 then there are at 160 tho if shyt is no problem like you dudes are saying we'll see sooner than later. :sog:

I got no beef with Golovkin. It's the brutal dikkriding as if dude does not have glaring flaws. Not a top 10 p4p'er benefits from weak divison.

 

[yoyoyo1]

Ward should come down to 160 if you're talking about GGG/Ward

GGG is the bigger attraction and the one that generates money.

GGG fought in front of 900 in Monte Carlo for a special occasion, Ward would draw 900 max anywhere in the USA

I didn't mention Ward's power specifically I mentioned can he take punches from 168 dudes and fukk with them inside when they are just as strong or stronger than he is. You think he'll be okay eating shots like he was from Murray from a super middle

Dudes acting like he is going to terrorize super middle and he hasn't even had a fight there but we're the ones talking crazy

C'mon fam my rep in the ring is A1, I know how the term is used. Anyone who's been watching boxing would not assume ward to be a KO guy.
