Golovkin came in at 159 lbs., the norm throughout his lengthy title reign, with all of his title fights having ended inside the distance; Monroe weighed a finely sculpted 160 lbs. for his first shot at a major title. [Click Here To Read More]

I'd be shocked. He's too good at cutting off the ring and will eventually corner him and hurt him.

Weird boxingscene reported that Monroe wasn't going to make weight. Anyways, go Rochester.

Not me. He doesn't punch hard enough to keep Golovkin off of him.

How many rounds does this go?

GGG keeps saying he wants a distance fight, so he may carry Monroe till late.
