Comments Thread For: WBA Orders Gennady Golovkin-Jarrod Fletcher Title Fight

[-Kev-]

Shut your mouths! Jarrod Fletcher is a tough Aussie warrior! He got his ranking by accumulating regional titles and defeating a Top 5 ranked WBA middleweight in Max Bursak! That's how it is done, just because you don't know the guy by name doesn't mean he hasn't worked hard for his ranking, everyone has to start somewhere!

Jarred Fletcher's wife has joined Boxingscene.

GGG should just vacate the WBA and fight Geale, as nobody takes the WBA seriously anyways. HBO wouldnt care, he would save the 3% sanctioning fee, and he would also then most likely immediately be rated #1 in the WBO to make him Quillin's mando........

The WBA seems hell bent on being the worst for boxing.

THey offer almost the same Golovkin makes... only other person they get more from is Sturm or Martinez.

I guess now HBO and GGG team offer more than Sturm and Quillin combined.
Sturm paid good money only when he was chasing a belt. Sturm with the belt is not very generous anymore.

WBA could choose better.

This ^.

FFS - Fletcher's not even the #1 contender and only one place above #3 Geale who Gennady's trying to fight anyway - surely a pass to fight #3 Geale instead of #2 Fletcher is appropriate in this situation.

WBA looking for step aside $s IMO.

I'd be OK with them ordering GGG to fight the Nielson - Chudinov winner, who would be their legitimate challenger, but trying to enforce Fletcher over Geale is just BS.

Fletcher says he's not stepping aside

“We’re not going to step aside for any amount of money so Golovkin either makes a deal with us or he must vacate the title, which he isn’t going to do,” Wil**** said.

Gah!

It's almost like there's a f#kkin conspiracy to stop Golovkin fighting anyone with a pulse.

That said, Jarrod ain't terrible, but he's a fringe / regional competitor at best.

Doesn't say anything about being paid step aside money for the Chudinov fight.

WBA making a number one while there is already a number one

W/E, make the fight and have Geale/GGG the next month since this fight won't last very long

Kind of messed up timing. His team had just tried to make one fight and was trying to make another.

Unfortunately, Golovkin isn't one of those fighters who can afford to drop a paper belt.
