Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Macklin Finalized For 6/29 at Foxwoods, HBO

[The Gambler1981]

Solid middleweight fight but Golovkin should beat him handily, probably by stoppage.

Nice to see Golovkin stepping up and fighting a serious contender for a change instead of his traditional diet of blown-up 147lbers, Eastern-European goatfarmers and Romany travelers. Macklin was flat out robbed against Martinez and beat a semi-decent Sturm, so he's capable of winning this.

It still bothers me how Martinez knocked Macklin out and the judges didn't even have the decency to finish scoring the rest of the fight.

Yes, getting KO'd by Martinez is, in fact, getting "robbed." Too bad your boyfriend Chavez is afraid of Golovkin and the ass-kicking he would receive from GGG.

But quality fight for Golovkin. KO9th would be my guess

Agendas man. That wasn't a KO, that was an intentional head butt. Sergio should've been DQ'd, at the very least go to the scorecards, where Macklin should've been up 12 rounds to 0

Golovkin is a no nonsense monster. He will walk through Macklin and Martinez too.

This is great to hear. With the network split HBO should really be pushing Gennady towards great things! I expect it

Good test for GGG, finally see how good he really is. If he wins impressively a lot more people will sit up and take note.

Time to see what the kid's got.

Day after my birthday. I'll take it.

Decent step up for GGG. Have to give Matthew credit for taking the fight even though I see Golovkin doing a job on him.
