Golovkin-Kirkland for April

[Evil Abed]

Why he was in a war with shot/past it Ouma, in the first place, beats me.

I'm willing to put my points where my mouth is... Let's do it

Ouma has always been incredibly durable. Get real. Kirkland gets hurt regularly. Like in every fight.

You said GGG needs a hard hitting and powerful opponent like Kirkland to show where he is. But fact is, he fought Stevens who probably hits harder than Kirkland.


Well if you wanna play that game :

Cruiserweight Ryan Coyne is on record saying GGG hits harder than heavyweights Mariusz Wach and Mike Perez.

Amateur heavyweight Imoesiri is on record saying GGG hits harder than Povetkin.

of course he hits harder than those guys. they are fat bums.

It bears repeating but Geale fights Feb 19th. Not April

Ouma was shot when he fought GGG

Since when does getting buzzed equate to a loss. Last I checked, Kirk had 1 L if we're being objective here which was without Wolfe.

But hey, I'm more than willing to add you to the list of bets?

Conyers fight was with Wolfe. He was punch away from being stopped. He just barrels in and gets caught.

Ouma fought Taylor without getting buzzed. Tapia hurt him multiple times. Horrible comparisons.

Firstly, Conyers was KO'd in the "first round". Let's go ahead and get that out the way first and foremost.

Secondly, Kirk was not "hurt" multiple times and was never in trouble against Tapia. Tapia landed several clean shots and Kirk never buckled one time or was even remotely close to going down. Please show me where Kirk almost got dropped by Tapia or staggered anywhere? You know things guys do when they're hurt multiple times.

Just because you land a clean punch, doesn't mean hurt multiple times. I'll give you "slightly" buzzed at best. But hurt multiple times? Absolutely not.

[Light_Speed]

Yep. "...like Kirkland..." - a guy who will actually throw.

Stevens throws, and his counter-punching skills make him a more dangerous puncher than Kirkland.

Truly this is the darkest timeline.
All we can do is Bear Down and wait

[Danny Gunz]

Entertaining but I can't imagine this being any different than the Stevens fight... except it might end earlier.

Kirkland has a chance to land a big one and end it but I really doubt he has it in him.

I'd rather GGG fight a guy like Lara, Trout, or Molina than Kirkland.

Kirkland?? Are you serious?? First of all GGG is a champ at 160, no way he goes down to beat up a smaller guy. What makes you think Kirkland will last longer than Stevens?? Stevens came down from 168....Kirkland got hurt by angulo and by unknown tapia.GGG takes him out in 2-3 rds
