To be honest rewatching the Monroe fight.. as devastating as he was Golovkin looked bored at times. Gave up his head without getting a lot back for it at times.
I did notice that GGG fought this fight differently. Don't know how to describe it, like he was trying to encourage Monroe to throw more punches. Like you say looking bored, taking some unnecessary shots, waving Monroe in, doing everything he could to draw Monroe into the fight. Strange.
He said in the post fight interview he was letting Monroe in both to test himself and put on "big drama show" a few guys here have a bit of rancor over ggg and keep saying the same neg stuff about him in different threads. That's fine, that's the sport, that's sportsfans but as a fight fan there is a lot to like about ggg. I never had the pleasure of watching Chavez Sr live but only his old fights on YouTube. I don't know, I just like the guy both in personality and ringsmanship.we seem to have a lot of very talented boxers who are a pleasure to watch in the ring and seem very genuine ggg, Kovalev, Crawford, wilder, and of course the always pleasant Broner.
