Abril deserve more fights...after he beat Acosta and Rios he can't find a decent macth out

[rey guey]

Golovkin vs Proska could seriously be a FOY. I'm Barker is making a come back, he'll probably make quick work of McEwan.

personally I'd rather see Macklin vs Barker or even Lee vs Barker.


Abril is a like a lot of Cuban fighters. too dangerous and too little reward.

Gary Russell jr ducked Luis Franco, 122 divison is ducking Rigondeaux and Canelo is ducking Lara. too bad Cubans didn't support their guys like ricans and mexicans.

Oh BABY!
Still mad he's not fighting Pirog... but this is still a step in the right direction for Golovkin... better than taking on some unknown Japanese guy.
As for Abril, I wish the best for him

Someone needs to get Abril a big payday. He earned it with his last 2 wins.

You most be an idiot, a 10 years old kid or don't know $h1t about history, Cubans can't travel from the Island and promoters will not stage a fight there, they could bring it to south Florida but that will destroy the myth about Cubans not supporting our fighters, back in 2004 Casamayor fought in the Miami Arena and they have to turn people away, the place was packed, do your homework and don't believe everything your read.

would love to see GGG vs Grzegorz Proksa!

[chiguy91]

what a pair of great match ups, i hope it happens. abril made me a fan when he exposed rios, he deserves another title fight after getting completely robbed of a title/win. i didn't see proksa's last fight against hope, but he is a solid opponent for gennady. i talked to carlos molina at the fnf card that was here in chicago, he said his team was trying to get a shot at golovkin for that wba title. i think they would rather take proksa over molina, but let's see what happens. golovkin/proksa sounds good. wish it was pirog like it was originally planned, but what can you do...golovkin/proksa should be titled 'battle of the g's' super G vs GGG.

Barker vs Murray for me with the British title at stake.
Who cares about the so called WBA regular title? Why not just call it an eliminator for the winner of Sturm/Geale.

[SPREAD]

Golovkin beats Proska.
Abril beats Rees.
