David Haye says he hoped Wlad will beat Leapai (someone he's never heard of) and keeps fighting for many years so he can get his rematch when his arm heals.

Let the hating begin!
If it did happen, I bet none of his fans would book the trip over, after all the tricks he pulled last year.
More the ending for me was poor.
Rose, froch, Selby and burns have all recently won in suspect circumstances.
Sorry mate I'm pretty pi55ed, Ive been drinking all day ahaha. I thought you meant the Selby performance. But as for the past stoppages and decisions, Froch and Burns decisions we're suspect, but what can you do, but that decision tonight I think was fair, Monroe was backed up in that corner for some time.
you can't be exposed at the high level. When 2 super stars fight each other it's impossible for one to be 'exposed' juts because one of them loses
Yeah. So when he's fighting these bums, in front of a 900 crowd, when he's being hyped up to death. That's why is said "steps up" because he's fighting nobody's and he's hyped up as the next big thing, so when he does step up, he's getting floored.
Just been on Twitter and George Groves says he's at the fight. Would love to see Groves vs GGG, i think Groves early work could be trouble for Golovkin.
There is just something about Golovkins performances that leave you thinking, if he was in with a more skillfull opponent he could be exposed. But the Golovkin fanboys will lapp it up and call it a perfect performance, just wait till he steps it up.
Great fight. Tremendous pace.
Missed a minute or two of a couple of rounds so it would be unfair I guess but I did get the impression Rees may of edged that. Can't complain though, great fight. No losers there.
Rees scored the cleaner shots in my opinion. AJ up next.

Adam Smith is an idiot (and a creepy bastard, who looks like he keeps body parts buried in his garden). Sky need to bin that fucker and get someone in with new/better ideas.
Various promoters and fighters should be showcased on the network, not just a closed shop with one promoter.
Green K for that Adam Smith comment man ahahahaha.
You can see Martinez and Ward fans get very hostile due to their insecurities. They know Ward nor Martinez would come close to beating Golovkin, they would go into survival mode waiting to A) get knocked out or B) for the last bell to ring.
Don't be stupid fanboy!
Might turn it off I just can't watch two guys THIS feather-fisted. My little sister hits harder than these two useless hacks combined.
The welsh have been known to call him the welsh Mayweather, via IFLTV.
Joshua can be pushed along pretty quick, that's how a HW should look, just need to see how he reacts once his chin gets checked. He demolishes young fury in my opinion.
Would be a great fight but i reckon Groves wins a close decision.
Golovkin isn't that big and his power may not have the same effect at 168.
Groves is smart, has fast hands and real power.
Unless somehow, GGG walks through all his punches, in that case he is a juggernaut.
I think that his power would have the same effect at 168, it's just stepping up in skill and class which I think will be the problem.

Poor stoppage. Selby is gash, he will get blasted the second he steps up.
I think it's the defensive style that will make or break him when he steps up. Weather he can pull it off against top level opposition or not.
I don't think he would ever get a fight with Floyd for the following reasons:
1. Floyd doesn't know who he is
2. Mundine isn't big enough in the USA and won't give Floyd a big payday like he had with Alvarez
3. Mundine is way too big and strong for Floyd and probably just as fast. Floyd wouldn't take the fight even if Mundine was a mandatory.
In saying that, I do think Mundine would easily beat the likes of Carlos Molina, Canelo Alvarez. A fight with Lara is a close call but I'd say Lara would be too craft for Mundine and his age will catch up to him.
If Mundine was a big enough draw Floyd would fight him and annihilate him. Mosley threw that fight, it was obvious, had it been 3 years before that and Mosley would have wiped the floor with him, canelo and Molina would whoop him as we'll. Mundine is a bum, c+ at best.
AJ would easily beat both Sprott and Skelton in a couple of rounds. Those aren't the guys he need to worry about. I'd like to see him step it up after he's had about 10 fights, which should hopefully be in the beginning of 2015.
He's clearly better than British level, and I'd imagine he'd rise relatively quickly ala David Price. On the British scene, his biggest problem will be Derek Chisora without question. I have my fears about his chin, I certainly think he will be KOd - so I guess in that sense we have a new Lennox Lewis. But like LL, he will need a trainer that can teach him the finer arts of pugilism. I don't think Tony Sims is that man.
Now, Britain has two great young heavyweights at the moment. One will become a major force for the next ten-fifteen years.. My gut feeling is that the other is Anthony Joshua.
I know exactly what you mean, he does look a bit too good and pretty be true, and that chin sticks out a bit.
Groves could KO GG, he has some good power
I think you can definitely make a case for Groves power after flooring Froch. But other than that I think his style could be the difference in this fight, and he'll chin check GGG that's for sure. Good match up that could happen this year if GG moves up in weight.
