Comments Thread For: Gennady Golovkin-Willie Monroe Jr. Set For May 16

[Kagami Taiga]

lets not forget this he just fought rubio, and adama recently. too many stay busy fights if you really think about it

They aren't even really that imo. Maybe Rubio. But he gets nothing from these fights. He gets more work in sparring. All it serves is keeping him in the public conscious which has a place I guess.

Look GGG can fight who he wants. I dont call any shots. Only upset with way this was handled. Offered and accepted fight then told sorry

ABSOLUTE **** FIGHT! HBO is accepting this...REALLY? Completely JOKE if HBO will make this a Mainevent Fight! But if he plans on fighting 4 Times this year then hopefully his next 2 Fights are good ones.

GGG is not at fault to be fair, he wants to fight Cotto, Quillin and the guys at the top of the Middleweight Division but they're the ones not willing to fight.

The Winner of Andy Lee vs Peter Quillin...SHOULD FIGHT GGG NEXT! But I doubt that will happen, I think Andy Lee would do it if he wins but Quillin not doing it!

Willie Monroe Jr gonna get annihilated in 2-3 rounds good luck bruh

Winner of Lee-Quillin has to fight Billy Joe Saunders unless someone pays him to step aside again...

yea staying busy isnt the problem its HBO paying for these types of fights

Monroe is not ready for this fight, this is too much, too soon. I guess you can't turn down a title shot and a good payday so I understand why he took it.

I would have preferred Tureano even though I wasn't really interested in any of the 3 possible Golovkin opponents.

Tureano would've gone 2 rounds tops.

This isn't even in the same league as that disgraceful Garcia vs Salka fight. To try and lump the two together is delusional.

we can agree to disagree. Salka had no business in there with Danny and Monroe has no business in with GGG.

His management are finally getting him to face more diverse styles / techniques. Monroe is very slick, he has good ring generalship, a very good boxer - he just beat Bryan Vera (fight should be on youtube) I feel that he will do a lot better than Murray, because Murray laid on the ropes, and never adjusted to GGG's uppercut which was a result from Murray's style flaw - that uppercut killed him all night - Monroe Jr. will not be there - he constantly moves and constantly throws punches, if you make a mistake he will hit you, not a lot of power, but he will keep you honest - not the worst fight, and definitely not the best, but if GGG wants to compete with the Lara's / Ward's etc.. he has to face some slick fighters that will make him go rounds, and make him adjust..
