HBO/SKY SPORTS - Gennady Golovkin v Curtis Stevens- Saturday Night Fight Chat Thread

[IamInuit]

Stevens reaction to the KD was funny. I thought we were headed for a great KO but Stevens deprived us of it by quitting

Let's hope GGGs next opponent tries to win instead of trying to survive

stevens did what he could, he also landed a few mean punches. so to say he was only trying to survive is a misnomer

Yeah on reflection maybe that was abit harsh. Stevens did show determination but after all his talk and pictures of coffins etc he gave the impression he was the type of fighter that would go out swinging instead of quitting between rounds. He never really opened up and gave it his all when he realised running wasnt working

Abit harsh! Fuck! You do realize all the pre fight BS is not real, right?
You are spending too much time typing on your computer instead of watching the fight. Stevens was beat, he did not quit, his corner stopped the fight--probably because his mother was screaming at them to stop the fight.
Everybody is a fucking tough guy, as long as they aren't the one going through the meat grinder.
Stevens was getting hurt, BAD, to the head and body. I'm thinking he stays in bed a day or two. Everyone is different but he will probably be pissing red too.
GAME, you have zero empathy. Do you ever think what if that was me, my son, my brother, my friend or even a real person?
It is not XBOX!

Lol you're crying cuz your boy got owned. If you're gonna quit then don't go showing pictures of coffins with your opponents name on if you can't back it up. It's bad taste and he got what he deserved. David Haye took flak for saying he was going to behead wvlad but choosing to survive instead so it's only right that Stevens gets the same . If he hadn't made out he was going to kill Golovkin he wouldn't have to answer for it

He never quit. His corner stopped the fight. I think the ref was about to stop it anyway and that's why he went to the corner. Those temple/ear shots are better then landing square on the chin.

Man, Golovkin seriously wanted to hurt him and beat him up!! Honestly he didn't fight the 'smartest' fight and neglected what is a great jab...but he had that option and wasn't fearful of Stevens HUGE POWER (hbo was getting carried away). Stevens talked his way right into that beating but he took it.
