[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

WBA regular middleweight champ Gennady Golovkin will defend the title September 17 in Almaty, Kazachstan. The opponent was set, agreements were made but the contract has not yet been signed and the deadline is running out so we have to wait with announcing it. [Click Here To Read More]

I wonder who Golovkin's opponent will be?

[giacomino]

Hope they let Golovkin show off his skills and fight somebody in the top 20. Since the opponent hasn't been named yet and the fight is less than two months away, it wouldn't surprise me if it is another second-rate opponent. What ever happened to Golovkin-N'Dam? I was looking forward to that one

Men, its a shame Kessler ducked Bute, to face Stieglitz!!!

[RonSigPi]

How about we continue on the tournament legacy of the Super Six.

-Pavlik v. Bute for IBF title

-Kessler v. Stieglitz for WBO title

-Pavlik/Bute winner v. Kessler/Stieglitz winner for 1st unified champ

-Ward v. Froch for 2nd unified champ

1st unified champ v. 2nd unified champ to unite all belts and remove all doubt on who is the best 168 in the world!
