BLTV Highlights the big night of heavy hitters between Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin & the brash Curtis Stevens. HBO billed it as Monsters collide, as both guys were infamous for there crushing one punch power
Curtis Steven's face when he got dropped by Golovkin spoke volumes perfectly encapsulates how hard GGG hits. Stevens learned it wasnt just hype.
And thus a meme was born, that picture is still the banner for the boxing subreddit.
that shot took him to Ancestral Plane
@@tnsle000apparently Stevens trainers didn't teach him how to tie up his opponent and buy recovery time. Bad training exercises and lack of defense techniques
Bro was like 😳
@@tnsle000 😂😂😂😂 he had long chat
Golovkin's ability to manipulate rhythm and timing really made his power, toughness, and conditioning even more potent.
He really was an absolute joy to watch
What a domination, nothing to do for Stevens.
I always wondered how GGG could win so many fights. He was right there to be hit.
@ryand1410 he was excellent at distance management, and his defense was pretty subtle so he wasn't as easy to hit as he looked. Plus the threat of his power made it a huge gamble to attack him.

GGG, no trash talk, tattoos or bravado just a nightmare in the ring. Apparently he has the power of fighters three divisions higher. Great video.
just look the power of his muscles and nerves, hes like the best fast and power combination, all of his body concentrate power on his punchs, demolishing guards.
no likes enough for this comment. not many likes from tattoed ppl :-D
I know Matt mackin and he said he never felt pain like that liver shot
@@ilmediosumore like because thinking tattoos make people bad or worse is a pretty dim-witted take. Might as well say some dumb shit like unlike other fighters who like the color red. go fuck yourself.
This is a testament to Canelo's Chin. I believe one of Canelo's strongest attributes is his chin. Took the cleanest possible GGG shot and did not phase him@@rodrirodrirodri26
Nothing is more satisfying than to see a big mouth humbled.
Completely agree. However, sometimes loudmouths can be a blessing. I know if I was a humble guy defending a title I'd want all the contenders to be trash talkers because they draw way more hype to the match. It's a reality that I don't like, but it is reality. That's why so many fights these days have "staged drama" where the guys taking part do a little stage show to make it look like "this fight is PERSONAL!!" In most cases, it's not. It's just business.
Things to say during sex be like
oh teah big time
yeah, I enjoyed that too.. LOL..
So true. It's so nice to see the braggart from the 'hood, with his strutting and ghetto talk, get beaten by the quiet, low-key Golovkin.
Stevens face has never looked more terrified than when he was on his ass wondering what he got himself into
I loved the fact Stevens and his boys posted a photo on twitter of them holding a candle light vigil for Triple G with a makeshift gravestone with 'RIP Triple G' before this fight
@@doccholo905We know those Dudes were casuals? 😂
Shocked is not terrified. Terrified means you immediately give up. Stevens tried hard but the Triple was a great fighter.
@@shakeAbooty88 Terrified does NOT mean you give up. Giving up is quitting. Terrified is extreme fear. Lol
The idea that somebody's only plan A was to test GGG's chin is too funny 🤣. His chin was a bigger asset than his power- and he had the most power by far in the division so what does that say about his chin?
Having your mother walk out halfway through must be demoralising lol
Ain’t no mother of mine walking out the arena mid fight That’s honestly outrageous From her
Fully agree, she is the real loser there not being there for your own son, even if he is losing@@Lucxasbbx
He should of yelled to his mammy “Yo Adrien”
yo know them colors, always there when you up and giving money, disappers like air when broke and down.
Not really….he was kinda busy at the time. Probably didn’t even notice.
I can never get tired of watching GGG in action; I wish he had been able to turn pro earlier; but I am thankful for what we got
1:23 "Sometimes I feel like "Oh. That's it? Like, it's finished?"" is one of the coldest lines I've ever heard in the world of combat sports 🤣
GGG needs to be up there with all of the boxing greats. His story is similar to Hagler’s. Absolute warrior
Yes.
2 of my favorite Middle weights of all time. They both started Professionally at a later age than most boxers.
💯💯
I really love GGG buy nah man. Not really his fault as Canelo waited him out and he was robbed in the first fight and he didn't have the comp at 160. But absolutely no comparison the The Marvellous one who's resume was insane. No shame in that though as Marvin along with the great Monzon stand alone at MW in the modern era. GGG definitely makes the top 10 though
GGG is top. Dudes were shook to fight him. Until he was too old. And corrupt judges
I miss triple G. Nice boy face but he was a real terror « that’s it ? It’s already finished? » 😂
He's like the boxing version of gsp. So polite and unassuming but a savage at his core.
He’s not so friendly when you check out his interviews in Russian. Completely different demeanor, and you can tell he’s a bad MFer in real life. That “good boy” shit was all for the cameras.
He's the embodiment of "don't judge a book by it's cover"
Mommy was like " He gettin his ass beat" I'm outa here 😂
You didn't get the quotation marks right.
Golovkin was 37 in his first fight with Canelo let that sink in
I remember that… and everyone said that Canelo was not going to last more than 6 rounds. Let that sink.
@@aldoaranda4222 your point?
@@aldoaranda4222 More like everyone thought Canelo was going to win....yet triple G was absolutely robbed in that fight and the rematch....the whole world knows it. Go look at any comment section on the fight and literally 99% of comments will acknowledge this fact. The corruption in boxing is off the charts.
GGG overhand to the forehead was just brutal fucking compressed dudes spines
He looks like a dad, very humble guy and no tattoos but fights like you harmed his family.
Kellerman never ceases to amaze me with boxing insight. Explaining EXACTLY why that was a great stoppage
IGUADALA
For ANY fighter to act with such respect and dignity after losing your title speaks volumes about Golovkin and his humility both as a fighter and as a man. A champion and a true man.
you know it's a good day when BLTV releases a new video
It's not just Stevens damn every fighter who, crap they end up in the ER
bot comment
Come on, Stevens didn't "disrespectfully try to slug it out with him". He knew that an early knockout was the only way he could win.
early knockout on Golovkin , is only possible in some trash holywood movie.
😂😂😂😂😂
That's where curt went wrong you have to out box a fighter like ggg wear him down counter his punches Brownsville was throwing kitchen sinks too early lot's of energy lost plus the fact of the accuracy of the kidney and chin shots took too much punishment point blank period stay out them clibs popping bottles smoking train brother
He tried to slug it out and yes he disrespected him by not respecting how truly good GGG is, totally accurate statement
@@elizabethalcaraz2240 Trying to knock out your opponent early IS a sign of respect if you know you can't outbox them, outwit them or outlast them over 12 rounds. Your only hope is hitting them hard and early. There is nothing disrespectful about that. It can be a sign of weakness and desperation.
May the lord bless GGG. Thanks for the memories warrior.
That face stevens made when he got dropped by that hook is iconic😂😂😂
Nobody ever shook Golovkin. All the boxers who thought they could beat him in a fight were destroyed. Only prime Canelo got the distance against this monster (and the fight is still controversial) Special mention to Daniel Jacobs, who also fought GGG like a warrior.
derevchenko too
@@americanroyalist6905I think the judges gifted ggg that decision. Def lost that fight
@@arster2935 If you mean GGG vs Canelo 1, no man, it needs to be accepted that GGG for the better of Canelo, but he didn't dominate him. Now, GGG vs Canelo 2, that was a GLORIOUS fight, and Canelo got the better of GGG. They are both legendary fighters for a reason.
Canelo shook golovkin in the rematch. Ggg knew he would get robbed again if it went to decision. However Canelos inside game had ggg boxing from the outside for the first time since David lemieux. canelo just barely touched his prime too.
@@TechieTard I’m talking about Derevchenko vs ggg.. ggg got his ass beat that fight
GGG is my all time favorite. Thanks for putting together this video.
I give him credit though he was still fighting back even though it became clear his punches wasn’t doing anything to GGG at that point. And he didn’t quit, major respect. But GGG is a beast
What do you mean he didn't quit, that's EXACTLY what happened. He shat his pants and quit. 😂
@@HandsomeBastard His corner threw in the towel lol. People just love being ignorant and post it for everyone to see 😂
@@douglassgarvey653 You must be talking about yourself then because guess why they threw the towel ? Because he told them to. Learn how things work before you make a fool out of yourself again, kid.
@@HandsomeBastard Not how it happened but it’s clear you just care about being right and not facts lol. Maturity isn’t a number, old kid. Just logoff already lol
Probably the best chin in boxing in the last 30 years
Exactly, GGG and Canelo
Half Korean and Half Russian. Mongol bloodlines my boy.
@@irondome7334 well possibly mongol but I don’t think Korean chief . All I know is I bet he got 2 inch thick skull
@@michaelburley2905 At least take two seconds to search his bio or read Wiki and learn that his grandfather was Korean.

Just watched this fight yesterday. GGG is a master of the sweet science.
Why couldn't he KO canelo like chump keept saying 😂 now its the Mexican monster
Was*
@@erichvonmanstein6876he will be until the day he dies. He forgets more everyday then you will ever know
That face he made after he got knocked down while the crowd was chanting "USA!!! USA!!!" LMFAOOOOOO
unfortunately we can't see the young golovkin anymore. He was my most favourite boxer. But he get older and his prime time has passed.
Now there’s a brilliant comment. Fighters mastering time travel.
Cant see s#it, he quit
I agree. Young GGG was a pleasure to watch. There’s a KZhead of GGG doing an arm or hand-strength exercise that shows his insane strength. It’s definitely worth watching.
@@erichvonmanstein6876mofos don’t know when they’re too old. I’m glad he got out while he’s still on top tbh. You’re apparently someone who doesn’t understand that lol
@@WorkerBeesUnite what i said would give you ZERO insight as if to what i do or dont think in this matter. Sorry kid, try again
"No ones afraid of him"... Gets knocked down. "This guy scary".
These last rounds must have felt reaaaal slow for stevens
Triple G hanging up the gloves is the end of an era man.
Thanks for the video, I still go back and watch Golovkins fights. He was something special and Im glad I was able to watch the majority of his fights..legendary champion.👍🥊
I know he saw momma walk out!! 😂😩
GGG so balanced, relaxed, delivering a continuous stream of hard blows, not single blows from an unbalanced stance. Great Russian boxing technique. Bivol is in the same tradition.
Hes Kazakh, not russian
@@oroboros88 yes I know he’s a Kazakh, but his technique is typical of that taught in Russian boxing.
Bivol fight nothing like GGG😂
@@nas8326 very different, but with the same basics; balance, distance, accuracy.
@@nas8326 and also high level of activity. Neither waits to be hit and counter punch, though they are capable of this.
GGG = The most dangerous man in the room is the quiet one 😅
Canelo whipped him
@@robd5254No he didn't. Look up compubox stats. No way. Canelo won because of cash cow status.
@@robd5254 did you watch the first fight? GGG won 7 or 8 of the 12 rounds. Second fight was a draw. He whipped him when he was 40 years old.
Pirog was special sadly he injured his back.
@ConstantinoKosteris you got excuses for ggg! If he was too old he shouldn't fight then. Canelo stuck and moved the first fight. Canelo won all 3. Ggg us a weight bully, you cry, but ggg never went out of his bully weight 168, go cry a river with the loser ggg. Canelo 3-0
I love Golovkin's simplicity and humility. And I loved the look on Stevens' face after he met the canvas. That punch knocked the hamster off the wheel.
Curtis' reaction from the 2nd round knockdown was that of a man who knew he was wrong about the hype.
Respect for GGG. One of the best fighters ever…
Lol comon man you can’t be serious
Deep appreciation to Golovkin. Rest easy in your retirement. 😊
"My plan just box" - My fucking man. That's a true champion right there.
Triple GGG had the best career in my opinion. He was humble, he showed, he fought, he won, he retired. Retiring with his head still intact and with the fame that will never fade. 👍🏻
Enjoy watching golovkin. Looking forward to your future content on him. Good stuff. 👍
GGG looks bigger than nearly all his opponents. Man has a big and lethal frame to go with that legendary granite chin. I hope he doesn’t suffer CTE after boxing, he was a special boxer, a true great 🙏🏽
GGG was a Welterweight till age 20 and a regular middleweight as a pro but never a big one. Just look at the 30days Weight checks, most of the time his opponents have been heavier . specially canelo, Jacobs, lemieux, Murata.
Both these fighters: so fit, still throwing after 7 tough rounds. And what a principled stoppage: boxing as it's meant to be.
After that first knock down you didn’t hear the crowd chanting “USA, USA!” Anymore 😂
Golovkin such a bad mf, crushed everybody who stood across the Ring. Gave Canelo 2 hard fights and won both too
He lost the second but definitely won the first.
@@diosdadojrlubiano7674He won both and lost one
@@nashbullet3213you’re not a judge … sit down
@@AlexanderStHill Neither are you so piss off

Huge fan of GGG. He was amazing
"Too much talking, every time, every day...my plan - just box". So much said...
Great fight and big respect indeed straight up boxing no showing off no clowning straight boxing and that's the way it should be peace to both fighters and congratulations triple G.
His rise was amazing, nothing more exciting then watching a destroyer clean out the division by destroying all the top 10 contenders
And never avoided a fight, and then had the brains to quit while he could.
I told my friend a long time ago that the problem with American fighters when they fight Eastern European fighters is that because theyre quiet they think they can intimidate them or that they’re not tough. How wrong they are.
Curtis Mom thought she was in a movie and tried pulling The Ivan Dragos Ex-Wife’s “Ditch the ringside” move🤣🤣🤣
Yo this channel needs to post more frequently, I follow so many boxing pages but this one’s my fav. Love the stories guys, please do some classic like sugar ray Robinson and legends of that era too !
It's been Confirmed Ggg Cannot Be Knocked Out 🔥
😂 never moved up to even try that theory
#secre but GGG knocking outs light heavyweightss n sparring including prime kovalev🤣 next?
I’m only here to remind everyone Triple G won that first fight
Everyone knows Triple G really won the first fight, most feel he won the second or at WORST it was a draw (bear in mind Canelo was popping for Roids during these times), third fight Canelo finally beat 40-year-old Triple G.
How you know he was on roids @@jacobhartmann1050
Thank you for making such a great video. I honestly was naturally buzzing when Golovkin was about to fight, and there seemed to be a thickness in the air, where one was just expecting that, at any second, Golovkin was going to smash a W again. I truly love the man. He's a good guy, no pushover, but also not a gloater. It meant a lot to me that millions showed Golovkin dedication and respect, as well. I would have been so honored to shake his hand, but since he retired, I do not know when the opportunity would present itself, but, again, thanks for the "shout-out" to Triple-G. I've loved boxing since I was a young girl watching boxing with my grandpa, and Gennady's fights awoke even a deeper love of boxing and sport in me, and it's never left. I feel Triple-G lost a bit of passion after the debacle with Alvarez, of course meaning the scoring. I noticed he spoke very little English after that in interviews and only Kazakh or Russian. Fighters work so ungodly hard and have to eat a clean diet and constant-grind lifestyle, and having a fight scored as a loss that was not legitimate must sting much worse than a liver shot. I think many judges forget what a sacrifice these men and women have made and what a determent it can be to their career. Great job, BLTV for covering everything and not getting into all of that. You made the best point, and that was what a gangster nightmare Golovkin was. Loved the video!
I loved every GGG fight. A showcase for the sport of boxing
Can’t imagine anybody standing toe to toe with a prime GGG and trading punches except Haggler. He only barely lost to Canelo because he was so old.
This is one example why trash talking from athletes leave me douched out.
The biggest fight of your life. Golovkin: That’s it?
GGG is Tim Tszyu's favourite fighter. Hopefully Timmy brings us years of his aggressive fan friendly style just like Gennady.
Hagler vs Hearns and Canelo vs GGG 2 are the best fights I've ever seen.
1:17 ayoooooooo I’m not gonna let my daughter watch your fights 😂😂😂
Gennady Groomer Golovkin LMAO
He’s fighting Chris Hansen ?
"sometimes it feels like oh is that it..? Its finish 💦"
GGG was something else, he didn't even cut easy, just a beast in there. I really appreciated his career as one of the GOATs.
CANELO IS REALLY GOOD BUT GGG WILL ALWAYS BE A LEGEND MY RESPECT TO HIM
How do you go in without a "game plan" against Golovkin? That's beyond arrogance and all the way to stupidity.
GGG has a good chin!! I loved GGG Vs Canelo fight trilogy!
Whole career never tasted the canvas legendary ❤
What a great documentary. From the build up to the fight to the aftermath.
Dis Is the dude where these memes came from hahaha damn triple g put it on em😂
GGG what a fighter 💪🏿
One of the best ever mate.
@@timhorrocks3515 💯 I give him a good chance of winning against some of the very best
Wow. The look on his face was the wake up call from his pre-fight words. Great fight and much respect to Stevens
Steven’s corner saved him. He stopped the fight at the perfect moment.
Yes he was the real thing. Don't know why more fighters never adopted GGG's over hand looping smash punch to the top of the opponent's forehead.
The forehead is the thickest part of the skull. Much more likely to risk breaking your hand hitting that. The forehead is also where most fighters try to take punches if they get hit since you're less susceptible to knockouts. Of course, if you hit like Golovkin you can still knock someone out with a shot to the forehead lol.
@@drinfernoddshe means temple
3:44 the disbelief is real😅
“He’s not like that.” 😂
“Incipient beat down in Madison Square Garden”..😂 Brilliant.. These two boxers, hats off to them! Very inspiring.
Props to Stevens for getting back up and taking his beating like a man. Even when under extreme pressure he hit GGG with some shots that would have taken down another fighter.
Stevens could have easily got brain damage if he had stayed in the fightly
GGG was a beast and a killer
Steven’s face when he was knocked down the first time 😳
The look on Steven's face was priceless. All that arrogance and ego trippin turned to fear and confusion in seconds. ⚡️⚡️
Canelo waited till he thought GGG was too old to fight him. And GGG STILL won, regardless of what a couple of corrupt judges on the take saw.
facts
Steven's career ended that night.. In his prime ggg was an ANIMAL in that ring!!
glad that Steven's trainers actually care about his health.
Your mother walked out on you ? wow... family values out the window... family stick with you to the end, irrational ones would jump on the ring even (that's dumb tho dont do it) but that's loyalty, walking out ? that's crazy, so your family only support you when you're doing good ? if you're having a hard time they're not there ? they leave you ?
It's crazy
They leave cuz they can't stand to see you take too much punishment. That's why !

GGG>>>>>Canelo and I’m Mexican. GGG got robbed.
Literally one of my favorite fights.
That round the top punch is a side temple target hit. Once it lands on the side temple of the opponent's head, it's light out. The prevision and execution is close to perfect when he launches that punch. Stunning!
God I miss HBO boxing 😢 Great video!
I loved that knockout 1st punch. Curtis had this "WT* Just hit me" look.
GGG one of the most Humble boxers you’ll ever see and the guy is one of the best middleweights to ever do it and had one of the best chins ever in boxing. His Amateur career he was 345-5 and never knocked down once or hurt, that’s just crazy itself the dude is a different breed!
GGG is a killer! He always come with constant pressure, no matter what!
Yup golovkin was a dont miss fight guy good clip 🫡 salute
Out of all the boxers i will miss him the most.
Man I haven’t watched boxinglegendsTV in a minute ❤ I’ll never forget when GGG put Steven’s in his place 😂
GGG stands for gangster to the third power
“Golovkin won,I’m not gonna take that from him” *as if that was possible*
That's what makes the likes of GGG, Usyk, Mike Tyson, Pacquiao, Calzaghe etc etc so great and respected during and after their careers......They all did their talking in the ring and yes GGG beat Alvarez, those judges should be ashamed of their match fixing and jailed.
Stevens smooth brain cant be hurt by concussions.
Golovkin has only one weakness. He's getting older. So sad.
Father Time is undefeated
Canelo whipped him!
And corrupt judges unfortunately
@@robd5254Canelo beat him at 41. Lost the first fight, second was a draw. All The judges had it 6-5 going into the 12th for Canelo, then Canelo got dominated in the 12th and 2 judges gave it to him anyways.
