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

[WhodatWhoadi]

Man watching that fight the most impressive thing was GGG's interview. Dude looked very very beatable. Toss someone who can box with a good chin and you got a hell of a fight there. I get HBO dikkriding their product but really? GGG has glaring glaring flaws

I wouldnt say "very very" beatable, I think folks are just underrating Murray, who if it wasnt for the those wack decisions would of came into these fights the The Ring,WBA and WBC middleweight champion...yea dude land some clean shot flush shots but not many and some good combos...But was still put down 3 times and beaten to a bloody pulp...

*Murray lands 4 punch combo*

Hbo announce team-

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.

I'm not underrating Murray at all fam. It's the brutal dikkriding of GGG as if he has no flaws, let alone glaring flaws. Dude's an elite PUNCHER but boxer?

Understandable , the dikkriding from HBO/Lampley get on my fukking nerves too, But I see GGG as an Eliter puncher but hes no slouch with his boxing skillset....Dudes act like he Ricardo Mayorga out there and shyt He can box, is he on some andre ward level?, hell no... But even tho I can see SOG winning in a fight it wouldnt be some walk in the park like some of yall make it out to be

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.

add to the fact for the ppl that are saying that ward would have a field day with GGG there's still the unknown intangible if ward could take GGG's power

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

 

[krackdagawd]

Better question would be does his power transfer to 168

Or can GGG take the power of Super Middle

Or what does he do against guys just as strong or phsyically stronger in the clinch/inside

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

add to the fact for the ppl that are saying that ward would have a field day with GGG there's still the unknown intangible if ward could take GGG's power

for real, not just the small chance of ward slippin on his defense and GGG lands a flush shot but how would ward handle the accumulation of punches throughout the fight,because being real ward aint getting rid of GGG like that, if he winning hes going the full 12.

 

[patscorpio]

who exactly has ward stopped at 168 or KD at 168? thats the better question

 

[mr. smoke weed]

he has flaws, but he is not "very very beatable".

You're right because he's fighting in a divison jammed with talent? Counter puncher with power and without a shaky chin is a hard fight for GGG. Who's the hardest puncher he's faced Stevens right?

 

[WhodatWhoadi]

@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..

 

[mr. smoke weed]

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?

 

[krackdagawd]

@krackdagawd @mr.smoke weed 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..

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.
