Gennedy Golovkin vs. Luis Rodriguez

Post by scorpio83 »

15 Rounds Middleweight Bout

Either GGG got the better of El Feo with better jabs and powerful combinations to take a decision or would Rodriguez to outbox GGG behind his jabs and counterpunches in vice versa to take a decision. What do you guys think and who do you got?

The great Luis Manuel Rodriguez's speed and elusiveness would be a big problem for Gennady "GGG" Golovkin to deal with.

Rodriguez was not a stationary target. Does GGG knows how to cut off the ring? I don't think he knew that.

Rodriguez by decision, unless he gets careless and gets caught by a left hook.

Wow guys, a very interesting surprised opinion on a legend whom I admired favored over one of the favorites of this middleweight great of this era in GGG.

Elmer, you said El Feo would take a decision unless he was careless being caught with a big left hook, then asked Nino Benvenuti. :TU:

Luis Manuel Rodriguez was giving Niño Benvenutti a boxing lesson until he got careless with that Nino's left hook. It's a part of boxing. That's why the referees say protect yourselves at all times.

The fight was fairly close when Nino knocked him cold. He wasn’t “giving Nino” a “boxing lesson.” Rodriguez was maybe slightly ahead. (Yes I have seen the fight and am a fan of both) but tiring out badly. Giving somebody a “boxing lesson” is Sanchez vs Little Red Lopez, or Duran v Moore, where you dominate. Rodriguez vs Benvenuti was not that. But I agree Rodriguez would give GGG a challenge he never faced and IMO beat him by decision

Golovkin gets to him at some point. Can't see him losing this one.
