Tommy is outboxing Golovkin, and busting him up when he gets smashed to the canvas with an overhand right, he probably stands up from the first knockdown or so, but he keeps getting hammered.

I don't think that Thomas Hearns would have knocked GGG out. Why? Because GGG had one of the all-time best chins.

The question is if, if, GGG could pressure The Hitman constantly. I don't think so. Hearns by unanimous decision.

He doesn't have to pressure him constantly though. He just has to catch him, and he has 12 rounds to do it.

The Hitman would be the underdog, but he would surprisingly outbox GGG behind his quick long left jabs, right hands and combinations to take a decision in 12 or 15 rounds. If GGG ever had a chance to beat the Hitman he needed 12 or 15 rounds to do so to catch him, but Hitman wouldn't allow him to do so by sticking his quick left jabs and landing good right hands.

That's about how I see it, too.
