An analysis of the classic match between Avarre and golovkin in the Second World War

In the Second World War between Avarre and golovkin, it would be a pity if the focus of attention only fell on the blood of 12 round and turned a blind eye to everything else. You certainly can't appreciate the essence. This match is undoubtedly the most powerful competitor of last year's best boxing match (note: it did win the best title in the end), showing the highest competitive state of both sides. Two tens of millions of athletes showed their determination to cross the rubicon and stood in the ring, shining brilliantly. Many people on the sidelines argued endlessly about the result (the majority in Avarre decided the outcome), insisting that there was a black-box operation.

Since many authors have made various interpretations of this, here we still turn our attention to the game itself, and see what are the differences between World War II and World War I, and what wonderful shots and fragments the whole game has.

The most obvious factor in a battle is that Ava chooses to stand on the edge of the rope and launch a defensive counterattack strategy. Some boxing fans think that GGG's reputation scares Awa, but in fact, Awa never worries that he can't escape from the rope, but chooses to actively attach himself to the rope, trying to attract GGG to create counter-insurgency opportunities. Because GGG keeps hitting backhand straight and keeps a certain distance, Ava's move is difficult to succeed.

In the legendary battle between Ava and Mayweather, Mayweather was able to make a favorable counterattack with her back against the rope, mainly because Ava dropped her fist on Mayweather's defensive shelf as much as possible regardless of artillery fire and shelling, and constantly exposed her gap while punching.

When Ava tried to deal with GGG with Mayweather's skill, GGG didn't give him the same chance, but hid behind a jab and a straight right hand. In addition, Awa has only one counterattack, and the hitting position is single, even the left and right hands rarely change.

Comparing Awa's performance in World War I and World War II, it is obvious that his coaching team has learned a lesson and studied some hardships under the war. In World War II, Ava stayed in the middle of the ring instead of being attached to the rope, and successfully played a set of combination punches. In some battles, such moments are rare.

Backing the rope not only makes the boxer lose the choice of retreat, but also makes everything fall into a two-dimensional situation. Moreover, the boxer squeezed by the rope has to shorten the distance between his legs and cannot effectively change the height of his position.

In the open space, Ava can always maintain a comfortable standing posture, bend her knees to adjust her height and hit GGG's torso, thus completely changing the fighting situation, which he can't do when pretending to be Mayweather.

In the first and second rounds, Awa continued to attack, combining jab and hook to attack GGG's head and body.

In this way, Ava will not fall behind in the score because of passively waiting for GGG to expose the gap. Instead, he can now induce GGG to reveal.

This is about pure counterattack-once the opponent understands your intention and can attack safely, your strategy will fail.

In the face of violent attack fighters, in order to effectively counterattack, you usually need to make terrible moves. You should put all your firepower into it-be ready to shake or dive to dodge your fist at any time, and then offer your long-awaited counterattack.

Ava hit GGG hard to induce the other side to fight back. Once GGG takes the bait, Awa will wait for an opportunity to fight back, which is different from Awa delaying a battle.

When Ava stood motionless beside the rope, he couldn't lure the chance to fight back from golovkin.

Among all the audience, Ava did well in hitting the trunk. Body jab has always been Awa's favorite, but it is only effective when you can move your legs freely in the open area.

Ava's left hook in the abdomen and the long left hook in the head, combined with Ava's jab, form a triple threat. Throughout the game, Ava looked for a breakthrough opportunity under GGG's elbow every time she punched.

When the opponent's elbow is close to his sides, there is almost no space for punching, so counterattack is the best way to effectively hit the ribs and liver while moving.

At the risk of being compared with Mayweather again, Ava also aimed at her opponent's celiac plexus and hit the right upper hook. It was this punch that made the brave Maidana fall in the second battle with Mayweather.

GGG played passively in the previous rounds, but he quickly changed his tactics.

GGG's frequent retirement was criticized by the review team and Ava's supporters, but in fact, by retiring, GGG played his best boxing in this competition.

When GGG retreated, Ava chased after him and had to get GGG's precise and powerful jab first.

GGG keeps punching, and at the same time, he doesn't forget to punch a lot of right straight punches in succession.

You will find that when GGG tries to hit his opponent with a backhand punch, the range is often too large, which causes him to be countered-but when he wants to keep a safe distance, he will press his center of gravity on the palm of his hind foot, lean forward and suddenly punch forward with his right hand, which is somewhat similar to Roy Jones's play, except that he doesn't press his weight in.

GGG often plays the role of heavy gunner. Because of his ease, fans forgot other techniques he was good at. According to CompuBox's statistics after the game, GGG's jab count in this game is getting more and more accurate.

In World War II, the champion of Kazakhstan adjusted his skills and tactics several times, and has been trying to make Ava unable to fight cold punches and return to her stomach comfortably.

After a round of attack and defense, GGG not only drew ava back and turned around, but also began to confront ava in a traditional melee posture, which was not the way ava could calmly deal with.

At this point, GGG will choose a short hook-belly combination or make an uppercut with his elbow clamped, and then try to retreat, but Awa will find a gap and hit GGG with his right hand.

It turns out that when both of them are trying to control the situation, they will inevitably collide-literally and symbolically.

With the last third of the game left, GGG was beaten black and blue by cold punches and began to gasp because of the opponent's continuous physical blows and rhythm suppression. In such an unfavorable state, GGG played bravely, combined punches frequently, and mobilized Awa through rhythm (the previous 9 ~ 10 round was hardly hit by his body), and he was tired of keeping up.

In the 1 1 and 12 rounds, the two men fought fiercely, sometimes Ava gained the upper hand and sometimes GGG controlled the situation. The state of anxiety makes most viewers feel lucky. Fortunately, they don't have to judge the result of this round by themselves, and they can't help but sigh how difficult it will be for the judges to decide.

It has always been the view that Ava is the darling of promoters and the darling of the media, while GGG is an underrated and excellent boxer. The result of the Second World War obviously did not help this view.

But for boxing fans who are familiar with Ava and GGG, no one will underestimate anyone's strength or ignore the game itself because of the final outcome. To say the least, their second fight was the most watched boxing match in the past two years (except Mayweather and mouth cannon).

Finally, I sincerely hope that the Third World War can take place, and I believe that every boxing fan will not miss another thrilling annual battle.
