no fighter no matter how good he can box beats a fighter that can take one to give one because he has power in his hands that can knock you down with a jab

he was...curtis did show GGG had a little problem with speed though
He definitely did. I wonder how much is by design for his style. He tries to be an offensive fighter who comes forward, lets you land the small stuff, and slips nearly all the big stuff.
It is a good strategy until you either face a guy who can outbox you for 12 rounds, or a guy with speed and power to counterpunch and put you down.

Yeah movement and defense for sure, but since he's good at cutting the ring off, you also got to tie him up often and smother him.

Damn I missed the fight
GGG fought it more like a sparring session. He had NO respect for Adama and consistently spent the fight walking down Adama shadowboxing combo's and then trying to execute them. Adama spent most the fight backpeddling like Burgos, but landed a few quick shots as GGG came forward.

has ggg said anything who he wants next?
He said he'll fight anyone at 160...Dan Rafael reported on Friday that GGG said he wanted Sergio, but that fight won't happen...so GGG specifically mentioned Kirkland, Geale, and Lee for his April fight.
