Wow who knew?! Kazakhstan has an Olympic committee?

Golovkin’s going to have plenty of time in his hands. I don’t expect Kazakhstan to light the Olympics on fire any time soon.

The ignorance is the death of the humans. Therefore I see How many ignorant people live in US. Many of them cannot even identify the US's capital. Poor creatures!

I'll always remember the times I saw GGG live--- His U.S. debut at the Turning Stone Casino in Verona, NY vs.Gregorsz Proksa, at the Stub Hub in Carson, California vs.Marco Antonio Rubio, at MSG vs Gabe Rosado, and at MSG vs. Sergei Derevyanchenko. It's hard to think of someone who was more destructive in their prime. I wish GGG well in the future. He gave us a lot of fond memories to look back on. He was very avoided in his prime. Only Andre Ward ever spoke his name, and he's a much bigger man. In his 1st fight with Canelo, even though Canelo tried to age him out by avoiding him for years, he still made Canelo change his whole fighting style, had him backpedaling all night long, and he won that fight clearly. In their 2nd fight, he handled Canelo with a stiff jab and sharp boxing. A well placed uppercut busted Canelo's eye wide open late in the fight and he had Canelo gassed and holding on at the end. He won that fight too, in my opinion, but it was closer. In the 3rd fight, he had slowed down enough to be edged by Canelo. I would have paid anything to see GGG fight Dmitry Pirog. That fight would have been something to see

They've only been competing in the Olympics as an independant nation since 1994. So far they have won 15 Gold, 25 Silver (one belonging to Golovkin) and 39 Bronze medals. I'd make one of the standard think before you speak or better to keep your mouth closed and appear ignorant (you know the rest) comments but I'm just too tired today...

Charlo would rather hold his fake belt hostage without defending it for another 3 years... Maybe take another exhibition against another crippled welterweight and then cry some more in his spare time... Maybe he can get lucky and cash out (and get knocked out) by Canelo.

So 79 medals since 1994…
My bad, they ARE going to set the Olympics on fire!!

Yeah. It was supposed to be Pirog instead of Proksa for the U.S. debut.
