Comments Thread For: HBO, K2 Have High Expectations For Gennady Golovkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Mitch Abramson - The building of middleweight Gennady Golovkin into an exciting, skillful fighter is done. His handlers have accomplished the task of turning the Kazakhstan-born boxer with limited English into must-see television for any hard core fan. Golovkin is a knockout machine, possessing debilitating power in either hand as his knockout percentage (89%) suggests. Most observers expect Golovkin to easily handle his opponent Daniel Geale when they meet Saturday in a middleweight championship match at Madison Square Garden.

Even Geale’s promoter, Gary Shaw likened Golovkin to a pint-sized Mike Tyson because of his aggressiveness and ability to reduce opponents to petrified shells of themselves- before the fight. The question of whether Golovkin can fight like a superstar has already been answered. He can. Now, the bigger question is whether he can draw like one. [Click Here To Read More]

I think this fight should get some good ratings.. Ggg's ratings have been climbing and this is his biggest fight to date..

The slick brotha fans are going to hate reading what HBO have just said, that they would like to build their boxing program around him.

Good on HBO for finally realising Gennady's star potential. Somewhere in Oakland, Ward shed a tear.

K2 ain't nothing really, Bob Arum will make damn sure Golovkin fights on TR cards on HBO.

He needs a new star to rip off since Pacquiao is on his way out.

Loafler has gone from "7,000 tickets have been sold" to "If it sells 7,000 tickets"

Anyway, it's kind of ****ed up they're forcing Golovkin to all these places to promote the fight when he should be taking it easy in the final week. Golovkin says he doesn't like it because he could get sick meeting so many new people.

Huh? To date none of GGGs HBO fights has involved a TR fighter and the only potential Arum fighter on the horizon is Mattvey Korobov (assuming the JCC jr fight isn't resurrected).

TR isn't HBO like GBP is SHO.

They can't even sell out 9k arena, Ward did sell out 15.

You have no clue you've been talking about like all these ***s tryna promote that fake.

Cotto won't fight him just like Ginger, Mayweather etc.

Just look how this hypejob tanks.

haha ward has never sold anywhere near 15,000. most he ever did was 8500 against dawson and a couple thousand tickets were given away to help fill it.

Jeez, stop comparing that lowskilled overrated clown to boxing legends.

Triple Duck fought nobody yet other than pitiful bums off the division below. He's like 32 he can't sell out small arena without guys like Curtis Stevens.

I know that bogus hypocritical articles like this one being paid off but come on man, be real.
