Golovkin is a 1 to 100 betting favorite against Andy Lee

[hhs661]

wonder what the people who laughed at broner/rees have to say about this

I've seen people on here bash Ward for wanting a Chavez, Jr fight.. But now the most feared man on the planet is fighting a Chavez leftover? And this might go down as the 2nd best win on his prestige record

At what point does Golovkin start getting called a "cherry picker?"

I've seen other fighters get accused of that despite fighting far better opposition.

Nice.

I feel like Lee will definitely hold his own for as long as he lasts. He has pretty decent power maybe he can keep GGG off of him the problem with Lee is he isn't very mobile and his defense isn't that great.

The "premium" in premium cable no longer has any meaning if they're buying fights with a 100 to 1 favorite. Even if HBO is getting a good **** for it's buck, it's supposed to be world championship boxing, not bargain bin boxing. HBO buying these type of fights is what caused network TV to abandon boxing because they couldn't possibly outbid HBO. HBO should stick with spending top dollar on quality fights and stop with the exclusive nonsense. Other more mainstream avenues would open up if HBO refused these type of fights.

At least Showtime fights have been mostly competitive lately.

Oh stop it already, they dont determine odds and not too long ago Chavez-lee was this great legit fight and got top ratings of the year. Golovkin is held to such a ridiculously high standard. Now HBO is suppose to give up their stake in boxing to allow their competitors to do better? The golovkin hate is getting out of control, cant even enter threads with his name anymore

[DoktorSleepless]

This has nothing to do with Golovkin hate. It's an HBO issue. Golovkin vs Lee is perfectly fine if hey can't anyone else. (outside of HBO)

HBO should just bring out the checkbook for Golovkin vs Quillin and stop this nonsense. If they can spend 3 million for Ward vs Rodriguez, they could have certainly done the same for Golovkin vs Quillin. Probably wouldn't even require that much. Even less for a Lara fight.

The fight sucks, but he was far from their first choice, and what are they gonna do, bench one of their biggest stars cause they can't find anyone better to fight him? Besides Lee did wonders for Chavez cred, he went from a joke to very good win for Sergio thanks to Lee.
