Golovkin-Kirkland for April

[daggum]

Arguing aside, Kirkland is a beast and it will be interesting to see how GGG deals with such relentless aggression. In fact it Would be interesting to see how ANYONE deals with Kirkland. Lara, Mayweather, CaneLOL, Quillin, etc.

kirkland vs floyd? oh lord floyd would never take that fight. floyd fans are praying that kirkland never wins a belt or becomes a relevant 154 pounder again. they are tired of coming up with excuses as to why floyd can't fight people. but then when a guy like ortiz comes along.........WHAT A FIGHT! FLOYD IS TAKING A HUGE RISK HERE FOLKS!

That's key here and what I'm most interested in. I know Kirk can crack and probably back GGG up. If not, he'll die trying and has the power to do some real damage in there.

People can say what they want about Kirk, but once that oil in the engine gets running and he gets in his groove, he's a mess for anybody.

I've never seen GGG put in any adverse position. For all I know when he gets it back as good as he gets, he can crumble. I'm really curious.

If he destroys Kirk, more power to him and I'll give credit. But he's not just gonna win this fantasy fight for me because he beat Stevens, Macklin and Rosado

I think soon as Golovkin lands he's in big big trouble.

What I'm saying is when Vanes fought Ouma, he had done absolutely nothing in the division, which is true.

Now what you're talking about happened several years after the fact (i.e. Vanes-Lara).

And yes, I had Lara-Vanes fairly close. What happened was all you guys that advocated Lara almost had to eat your words and you weren't expecting that hence saying Lara was clearly winning at the time of the stoppage, when he wasn't.

He was coming on strong and taking over the fight but Vanes won the early rounds in my book

Dude, Lara was clearly winning that fight. Absolutely no way it could be scored a draw.

Lara was coming on strong and taking over the fight, but Vanes won the majority of the early rounds. I even said it in the RbR discussion

floyd can't fight lara, lara has a draw with vanes! floyd can't fight lara, lara got dropped twice by angulo! floyd vs khan, floyd vs ortiz, floyd vs guerrero......floyd only takes on the best.

In the Stevens fight he was took a bunch of huge shots and kept coming forward. Stevens is probably a bigger puncher than Kirkland too.

Stevens applied that pressure in the 4th round and stopped thereafter. When he applied it, he caught GGG several times and had him backing up, then the very next round Stevens went back to backing up.

Like I said earlier, Garcia sparred Kirkland and GGG and said Kirk was clearly the harder puncher

Yeah exactly he started putting together some shots and then Golovkin came back and started pushing Stevens back and took over the fight.

It's not like Stevens just decided to stop fighting
