Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated :
Just filed to http://SI.com : Gennady Golovkin-@Showtime_Curtis have reached an agreement in principle to fight in November.
GGG's trainer, Abel Sanchez, told SI that @Showtime_Curtis trash talk made it happen. "Guy thinks he is the next coming of Carlos Monzon."
Props for Glovkin letting his balls hang in taking on a serious puncher, and props to Stevens for wanting to fight and beat one of the best in the division. Stevens can get it done as long as his stamina and mind is right, which means living right and training right for this fight.
It all up to him.
Too bad it's not.
When he stepped up in comp, it was either KO them early or drag it out and hope for the best
GGG kills him but what other options were there? I would have liked the winner of gaele/barker but they won't fight him they will fight sturm next and use that as an excuse. Only other option is Mora but he will stink up the joint. At least Stevens will try to knock out GGG then get KO'd in the process
They were throwing options around... but I guess they really didn't have any left if they picked him up
Ken Hershman say said the days of showcasing fights are over when they stop doing business with Golden Boy; but thats all they are doing with GGG is giving him shiwcase fights.
theres no options man, who will fight GGG? NO ONE. Atleast we got two big punchers in there

you guys are just hating, HBO probably didnt approve Mora because that would be a boring fight, Mora is a spoiler and doesnt fight. Stevens is being talked about because of the KO and this will be a solid fight as long as it lasts. You guys said no one is testing GGGs chin, how would Mora test his chin?
Barker / Geale are both afraid of GGG and they both want to fight Sturm next if they win, so who besides Stevens is there for GGG? No one! I am happy there is finally a fight with a guy that will try to hit GGG.
you talk about a boring fight but forget that HBO put Perez vs Gamboa which was a very boring fight.
I'll wait until this is true. If it is, a lot of "now" guys will be eating crow AND wiping egg off of their faces. #Lmmfao
Good for him, he took the fight
Now he's going to die though, but at least he's getting paid

All my points to all yours on Golovkin.

Curtis Stevens is a c class bum, how ever I don't mind this fight. its always good to see fighters who think they are better than they are get humbled.
He's probably got overrated power at this point. GGG will wreck him, literally.
Once punch kO power is there... but it only lasts for the first 1-3 rounds with it rapidly diminishing from there.
Predicting a body punch ko
