I'd be happy for either to be honest. Geale, Peter/N'dam, Jr., Martinez.... all these options

[Hougigo]

Also, that HBO performance did a lot of favors for him. I swear I saw Proksa's teeth fly out.... great night

You could easily tell the countrymen were there. The Ukrainian fanbase were pretty cool (came dressed in their traditional vestments I guess) with flags and were pretty loud..... no so much during Dzin's fight though.
There were a few people from Kazakhstan too.
Polish fans were by far the loudest IMO.
Same old I guess.... drunk people everywhere screaming.
I'd say there was definitely over 1k people there.... I want to say maybe 2.

First, Golovkin should fight Geale. I think thats a fight that could be easily made.
Geale and his promoter said already they would do it. After that Golovkin will have 3 major belts and 1 minor belt so he will be in an even better position to get fights against Martinez and jr. Pirog is another option.

Did you get to sit ringside or did they screw you?

If Golovkin pushes for the Martinez fight so will Geale and Geale is alot more likely to get it. I hope Geale vs Golovkin happens first too.

I still think that Golovkin is too slow to beat martinez.

I realise that his timing is very good, but martinez is very good at keeping distance and have elite footwork.

Proska fights a littel dumb IMO he may fight with his hands down like martinez sometimes but there footwork are not comparable.
Proska have been forced to slug it out with d level fights and have gotten way too much hype after the Sebastian Sylvester fight.

But its a great fight that I would love to see

He has better handspeed, timing, and footwork than Pavlik yet after the first three rounds Kelly found his timing and was winning all the rounds until those two horrible cuts over each eye started bleeding bad in the 9th if i remember correct. Barker and Macklin had alot of success boxing with Martinez too. Sergio has athletic footwork and is good at closing distance but i wouldn't say it's elite.

Who has better footwork ?

Pavlik is soo much taler that there is no way you can compare the two.

Kelly was outboxed through the fight, there where some close rounds but martinez was dominating.

The notion that Barker and macklin had succes is completly blown out of proporsion imo, in reality it was more like `see i was abel to land one punch on martinez and everyone`completly forgetting that martinez landed hundreds of times in between.
And at the end of the fight the both where knocked down and had had beaten up bloody faces.

That is not succes

And BTW diddent golovkin strugel alot with (way past prime)Kassim Ouma before the tko?
