Comments Thread For: DiBella: Golovkin is Overrated, This is a F***ing Fight!

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

NEW YORK — As a former executive for HBO Sports, promoter Lou DiBella has a unique understanding of what it takes to carefully construct a talented fighter into a star.

DiBella realizes exactly why current HBO Sports executives have matched Gennady Golovkin against Gabriel Rosado (21-6, 13 KOs, 1 NC) and Grzegorz Proska (29-3, 21 KOs), the fighters the hard-hitting Golovkin (26-0, 23 KOs) has stopped in his first two appearances on the premium cable network. DiBella doesn’t believe, however, that boxing enthusiasts should view Golovkin as an unbeatable beast until he shows he is capable of defeating a big, strong, legitimate middleweight like Matthew Macklin (29-4, 20 KOs), his opponent Saturday night in the main event of an HBO tripleheader (9:45 p.m. ET) from Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Conn.

Dibella should shut up and at least wait to see how the Macklin fight goes tonight.

[Hougigo]

The only people who say people are ducking him are his fans.
Also what do you call a person who begs for a title shot, receives one, then turns it down?

Dibella is right about Golovkin being an overrated fighter. You can't look past his abilities or his amateur background, but **** ppl act like he's a boxing God. Unfortunately, Macklin will be a cake walk cuz although he is bigger he has also been stopped by a natural JMW in Sergio Martinez.

so if Macklin wins, he's a superstar, but if Golovkin wins, he's "starting to build a resume'???

cmon Lou, knock that bull**** off lol

Yes fool, one fighter is extremely hyped for no reason, so if the fighter who is expected to lose by the majority wins then it does big things for his career

Are you actually implying that Sergio(healthy) couldn't stop a natural middleweight? Really?

What happens if you are incorrect? Will you still be oddly sure about things that didn't happen?
