Victor Salazar

•Oct 11, 2015

New York, New York - Come December 5th, promoter Lou Dibella believes the bout between middleweights Peter Quillin (32-0-1, 23 KO’s) and Danny Jacobs (30-1, 27 KO’s) will be the biggest bout to ever take place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. He feels the long-awaited showdown is bigger than anything he's ever promoted at the venue - and he takes the same position when discussing past events which Golden Boy Promotions staged at the venue when Oscar De La Hoya's company had an exclusive deal with Barclays.

New York, New York - The middleweight division is loaded with big fights in the next few months. Next Saturday night, Gennady Golovkin will take on David Lemieux in a WBA/IBO/IBF unification. In November, Miguel Cotto defends his WBC title against Saul "Canelo" Alvarez. In December, Peter Quillin (30-1, 23 KO’s) will challenge fellow Brooklyn fighter Danny Jacobs for the WBA 'regular' title. And sometime next year, Andy Lee will defend his IBF title against Billy Joe Saunders.

Carson, California- When Golden Boy Promotions entered the mid-way point of this year, their three flagship fighters - Lucas Matthysse, David Lemiuex, and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez - were all coming off very good victories. Now with Matthysse suffering an unexpected knockout loss last Saturday night, it could signal the possibility of their three best fighters getting beaten before the year is over. Lemiuex is a heavy underdog against Gennady Golovkin on October 17th. Although Canelo is the favorite against Miguel Cotto, many experts consider it a 50-50 fight on November 21. Should both of them get beaten, a lot will be said regarding the future of Golden Boy Promotions

New York, New York - Badou Jack ‘The Ripper’ (21-1-1, 12 KO’s) is certainly in the running for 2015 'comeback fighter of the year' and can quite possibly be a candidate for fighter of the year.

Carson, California- Viktor Postol (28-0, 12KOs) was not a big underdog going into his fight with Lucas Matthysse last Saturday night, but he wasn't the favorite either. When he made Matthysse take a knee and get counted out in the tenth round, that surprised a lot of people. The win gave Postol the WBC junior welterweight championship.

New York, New York- Come December 5th, whatever Brooklyn love there was between Danny Jacobs and Peter Quillin will go out the window. It appears the love was dropped at their press conference earlier this as Jacobs respectfully downplayed their friendship. The two will battle for the WBA's "regular" middleweight championship in a Showtime televised main event from the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Carson, California- While Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs) and his team are content with unifying all of the titles at 160 pounds, many fans are asking the WBA/IBO middleweight champion to move up next year and fight super middleweight king Andre Ward (28-0, 15KOs) - if GGG can’t land a fight with Miguel Cotto or Canelo Alvarez. Ward has told the media that he offered a offered a fight to Golovkin with a purse split of 50-50.
