Comments Thread For: Spada: Rubio Has Absolutely No Chance With Golovkin

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

It’s not too often that a fighter gets two chances at a relatively important prize in boxing within the space of just six months, yet Domenico Spada will find himself in that position on October 25. After losing by stoppage to Marco Antonio Rubio in April, the Italian takes on England’s Martin Murray for the WBC Silver title at middleweight.

“I have had a couple of weeks rest since the last fight in which I haven’t trained at all but I start a long training camp again on Monday,” he told BoxingScene last week.

Spada scored a six round unanimous decision win over Bosnia’s Nikola Matic on August 8, a fight which he admits to taking just to “feel the ring” again following the Rubio defeat.

Spada is very salty.

He might have a shot vs Murray. Martin has looked mediocre.

Last time i checked Rubio knocked Spada out cold. It's not like Rubio hugged and clinched himself to a decision. Spada just bitter.

Murray has looked far from magnificent recently - makes one wonder just how shot Maravilla was when Martin fought him.

Still, I think he beats Spada who really isn't very good.

Spada is right about Rubio though. I think there's few who give Rubio much of a chance despite being a tough, wily and hard hitting veteran.

The interest in the fight is more to see the manner in which Golovkin wins I think very few anticipate a different outcome.

Yes. Murray really won the fight against Sergio who kept the belt with a home decision; however, in the last 3 fights Murray looked ordinary. Regarding the topic, it is clear that GGG is the great favorite and people are only hoping that Rubio can make it interesting by lasting longer and/or making GGG work harder than previous fights.

He did lose decisively ... the guy was kinda losing every round though not without a spirited effort. I think part of his saltiness is to do with the open scoring which forced him to fight increasingly recklessly - leading ultimately to the KO.

I've just rewatched it, and there's little argument for Spada to take more than 1 or 2 rounds at best, in spite of his attempted aggression, but the Kid is game at least.

TBH Murray needs to flatten Spada to prove his own relevance at world level - I suspect he's being lined up to fight Golovkin in Monacco in 2015 (his current promoter is South African based Golden Gloves who have promoted all of GGGs Monte Carlo fights) almost whatever happens, but a weak performance against Spada will hardly help build a Golovkin fight.

SPADA fought as the aggressor all night and RUBIO ran and hold a little bit indeed,anyway RUBIO caught him and put him to sleep so the victory was legit like the fact SPADA fought bravely in MEXICO! The kilos robbed on the scale are a dirty move that happen in boxing,that means RUBIO was overweight and the title was not at stake for him and more money for SPADA but we'll never know it. Good luck for MURRAY that he is not a joke at all,much better than RUBIO IMO!
