Canelo Alvarez meets in the night to the 17th.September (from 4.45 a. m. live on DAZN) in the mega-fight on Gennady “GGG” Golovkin.What are the strengths of the two boxers?What are their weaknesses?What are the keys to victory?And who will win the duel?DAZN met former WBA and WBO World Champion Jürgen Brähmer, Boxtrainer Michael Timm and former WBC Champion Sebastian Zbik.The trio discusses the forthcoming battle with SPOX editor Dominik Geißler.
Jürgen Brähmer: Gennady and I spent three years together at Universum (Universum was a boxing stable in Hamburg that existed until 2011; note:”Universe was a boxing stable in Hamburg until 2011.d.Red) trained.Even though he did not succeed in his major breakthrough in Germany, it was already possible to see the potential he had.He has an enormous physical condition, is in a very good condition and has an extremely precise impact hardness.That’s what makes him so dangerous in this weight category.He’s always fighting in every attack and he’s usually a good shot.
Sebastian Zbik: As Jürgen already said, Golovkin’s ability was already great in universe times.The fact that he was not one of the big names in Germany outside the boxing scene at that time was due to the fact that he was only ever to be seen in the training hall.Interviews, media work, marketing – the interested “GGG” all not.He also had two German boxers in his weight class with Felix Sturm and myself, who were simply more interesting for the TV market in Germany.Of course, this doesn’t change the quality of the fight.He was and still is a hard worker who always prepares himself perfectly and studies his opponent closely.He doesn’t shy away from a trade-off and always takes a certain risk.
Michael Timm: Golovkin has never seen himself as complete and has watched other boxers training to learn.He always knew that he still had to work on some corners and visually stole the other people’s tricks.He works incredibly accurately, tries to overcome his weaknesses and further develop his strengths.This includes above all its robustness, which it has built up with extra shifts during training.
Dominik Geißler: What one must never forget is Golovkin’s footwork.He moves on his legs incredibly agile and makes life difficult for the opponent.You just have to think about how rarely he’s really been hit in the past.And if he does, he’s put his fists away.In the offensive he shines with his ring presence.The hardness of his strokes is not even so decisive, but the consistency with which he sets his goals.You can only compare this with a few in the boxing circus.
