Curtis Stevens lost to Jessie F*cking Brinkley a guy whos hardly elite and he was stopped by some journeyman.
I give him a very slim chance.
Basically he's got to land a bomb early, and he's either got to take GGG out or at least shake him so badly that it takes him awhile to really recover.
Golovkin isn't Elvin Ayala or Roman, he's not going to get wiped out the way they did. Curtis has looked good at 160lb, but he's still a really small dude and at a size disadvantage.
I'd give him maybe a 10% chance. Golovkin can be hit, and Stevens hits waaay harder than anyone GGG has faced, so it's still a question in my mind whether he can take it.
IMO he'll avoid getting hit with a kill shot and stop Stevens sooner rather than later.
About a 10% chance. He has knocked out recent opponents in even more devastating fashion than Triple G himself but those opponents were journeymen, nowhere near the level of Golovkin's opponents. Stevens is a hard puncher but he isn't one that will give GGG any problems.
A boxer against Triple G would be interesting. Here, its a foregone conclusion who will win because GGG is the more refined boxer and has more power too. He wins in both departments of when a power puncher goes against another power puncher. The one with more power or boxing skill wins. GGG is better at both, by miles.
Golovkin is hyped up too much, and he's there to be hit. But I still know triple G is gonna finish him. I agree with stick and move, 10% chance.
Zero he just does not have what it takes to be a real champion. If you want to bet on a long shot put down a couple of thousand if you lose no big deal if you win big deal. Take my advice don't bet anything on him.
