Official Gennady Golovkin vs. Daniel Geale RbR, prediction & discussion thread

[ChampBox@PR]

What did they say...??

He was asked over at SkySport how he would fight GGG and h said, you avoid him la a plague, he punches like a Mule, and HBO trying to portray that Froch said that meaning that he wouldnt fight GGG or that Froch was scared

No one at 160 beats Glovkin right now, including Kid Chocolate who's my guy. The guy to handle GGG is Ward, his people know it, I know it, and Ward knows it. It's not fair to ask him to make that leap if he's not confident, so I say he should stick to the script, Unify, and try and break BHOPs record. He's not getting any younger approaching his mod 30's , so he can leave his mark this way as long as he keeps KOing everybody he faces.

Every belt holder at 168 sees 12 and does even more. 160 sucks, the best fighter after Golovkin is a guy who weighed in at 155lbs for a MW fight, Cotto.

So im guessing that you dont rate Hagler then.

exactly what im thinking mate,
the likes of kessler and froch will hurt him,
gain his respect and he wont be so aggressive coming forward

They do have power but both are very easy to hit, specially Froch. Gaele has very good upper body coordination and is not very easy to hit clean.

Also, they would get out-jabbed wich is something bothers both of them and disturbs their rythim.

I think Golovkin would probably knock Kessler clean out and probably stop Froch late, by corner stoppage of something. Groves hurt Froch plenty and from what i've seen, Golovkin seems to hit harder.

I would like to see Golovkin unify the division and stay there to defend its titles.

Maybe move up for big fights against the likes of Froch, Kessler, Chavez and Ward.

Oh STFU you hater.

You had no problem with riding Canelo's **** before he proved to be a really good fighter.

Fuckin hypocrite

Kill me for being a fan of a young 19 year old prospect, who at 24 has already fought Mayweather, Lara, Trout, Angulo, Vazquez, Rhodes and was fighting overmatched opponents that Golovkin is fighting at 32, when he was 21-23 in Cintron, Mosley, Gomez, NDou, M. Hatton, Tyner. I mean the level of opponents GGG is fighting at 32, Canelo fought already in his teens and early 20s, that's just sad. Don't even compare the two, one has little amateur experience and is 24, the other is an accomplished amateur and is 32 wanting to feast on dudes below his weight class like Mayweather and Cotto who's never even weighed in higher than 155lbs on the scale, forget his MW title, he's not a MW.

It seemed like he came in with the mindset that it was gonna be a short night. I think he was overexerting himself and got hit more because of it. As you said, Geale just wasn't packing enough firepower to make him think twice. I prefer the patient, work behind a hard jab, stalker GGG over terminator GGG.

He doesn't approach every fight the same way, obviously. He doesn't look for the KO but he's more or less aggressive depending on who he fights. You shouldn't fight patiently against a herky jerky, high workrate fighter like Geale .
