Golovkin vs Adama - Master Thread

[DoubleLeftH00k]

He beat Macklin easily.

And style make fights it's like saying "Golovkin couldn't even beat Ouma easily how will he beat Macklin easily?"

macklin?
easy there ur stuttering
trust me if martinez fought the ouma that fought ggg theres a big chance martinez would have lost

[Roy Jones Jnr]

Wait...does Golovkin have haters now?

Why the fuck would he have haters?

Or are his fanboys just getting their knickers in a twist over a few people asking questions.

No one hates GGG you clowns, people are just questioning his level of opponents seen as how he's such a great fighter and all.

[US Dirk Killer]

You can see that Golovkin was chilling the whole fight.
Haters hating so bad

Golovkin did what he had to do but please don't make Adama the new Ajose

Come-forward fighters get hit, it is what it is. If you run or hug you won't get hit as often, but then no one wants to watch you.

This was similar to the Stevens performance, just seemingly less acceptable to some because Adama wasn't a media-pushed New Yorker.

Nothing to do with the fact he got hit abit.

Yeah I'd say that it's about the same as Stevens, both lack luster performances against lack luster opposition.

People are acting as if GGG is the only one not fighting other champions, it does take two to make a bout happen. The top 5 at MW haven't fought each other for one reason or another. It is hella annoying, but at least 3G is aiming to fight 4 times a year. Who else is doing that? Murray/Quillin/Geale fight twice a year, Sturm has already ducked him, and Martinez is fighting Cotto.

If his 4 times a year is as weak as last year's, it honestly doesn't mean much of anything. Just being honest. But are correct. The middle weight division sucks and I've been saying it for like 2 years already.

For a guy who fights every 3 months, you have to give him credit.

He's fought 8 times in a little over two years (give or take 2-3 months).

It's not like he's avoiding other fighters. If the bigger names in the division aren't stepping up, he at least takes a stay-busy fight instead of waiting for everyone else.

I like the fact he is active but quality over quantity.
Mora, Dirrell, Geale, Chinny Guerrero and others that aren't coming too mind are calling him out.

He beat an awkward guy tonight, I don't think he looked great myself. He did I guess what he was supposed to but it wasn't a dazzling performance by any means. Now can he step it up and fight somebody decent? I know the division is poor but 30 fights, 9 defenses or whatever along with his amateur career, he shouldn't be fighting these guys.
Is it 9, 10 defenses now? In that time only one I believe was even a career middleweight.

thats not what im saying. what im saying and him and his team and hbo have to absolutely make something happen this year. whatever they have to do, force fighters to fight him, move him to 168 ala paul williams, it has to be done. what im not gonna do is get excited about any more of these fights. and it seems golovkin feels the same way.

They can't force fighters to get in the ring with him. They can increase the payout up to a certain limit, but I don't see promoters cashing their fighters out for less than 7 figures. At 168 the cycle will probably repeat. He needs to beat a big name before moving up.

He's been in with former world champ and top contender Karmazin. Elite is not P4P, it's anybody who reaches the world championship level, which is a very small % of boxers.

Who do you consider elite at MW? Because I can trash their resume as easily as you did to Geale.

Karmazin was never elite, you are just embarrassing yourself here plus you said guys not just one fighter. Even if he was elite at some point he definitely wasn't when he fought Adama, so what you are saying is irrelevant, just admit you were trying to hype up Adama like the pathetic little fanboy you are.

I don't consider anyone elite at middleweight, it's an awful division.

Yeah Macklin. Where are you lost?

And who's the Ouma that fought Golovkin? The "shot Ouma" no way shot Ouma beats Macklin.
