    It was better than I thought it would be but only decent. The Road To show was great, however.

    My favorite Face off was Provo vs Alvarado. Provo spoke Russian but the way his translated words came across were scary...like this is a true warrior that is sick in the head. I respect Golovkin for making a great effort in speaking english during interviews but it is very difficult for him to explain his thoughts.

    Golovkin really needs a long 24/7 to talk about his back story, his twin, his older brothers that were killed, etc but I think HBO may be saving that for a superfight like against Canelo.

      I look forward to the fight.
      Lack of English skills can impact a guys popularity.

        That Face Off was awesome, the way GGG talked about the beating he gave to Stevens was scary. "We have time, we have twelve rounds to show him respect, beat him, beat him, beat him until he respects me and respects the sport of boxing."
        GGG seems like an interesting person, sure he has a colorful history. I wonder why wonder HBO didn't have a full 24/7 series for this fight.

          Yeah, I'd like to see a gif of this.

              GGG was amazed by the way Lemieux kept on dropping N'Dam.


              Both have a high KO%: 91% vs 86%


              It may end up being, who can withstand his opponents punches better will win this.
              Golovkins skill wins the fight.

              I don't see David standing and trading like he says. He will get outlandish 3-4/1 if that happens. I'm expecting him to hit and run.

                You're not entirely wrong.

                This might be the first time a fighter doesn't need good English that doesn't speak Spanish. Selling out MSG is very impressive.
