Comments Thread For: WBC Prez: Fight in The Hands of Golovkin, Canelo - The World Awaits

[Graz]

Don't be surprised if they actually try to get david down to like 157 to say "well david was willing". I agree he's a dangerous fighter for Canelo but I think David also has a lot of holes that benefits Canelo's work to the body. David is looking for money right now and I don't blame him. The possibilities in match ups for him are just as risky as they are for Canelo within that 6 pound range.

True. Lemieux hits like a bull but he's vulnerable to someone who can box (ref: GGGs beat down of Lemieux). Canelo is talented but the thing that might make a fight with David interesting is that Lemieux is hungry and needs some credibility after his loss to GGG. Either way exciting things forthcoming in the middleweight division. Looking forward.

Dude at this point I wouldn't be surprised to see Oscar offer anyone at this point more money than they are worth to change the topic of conversation. I straight up think they will vacate with the focus being on smudging up the facts of why the fight wasn't actually made. Oscar may be dumb with his addictions and his women but he knows perception is reality to boxing fans regardless of whether the facts are easy to find because quite frankly look at all the folks talking about Lara and Golovkin when Lara has done nothing but mention his name.

haha irony

If K2 steps aside again then I'm done defending their team. Either force the fight for September or stop calling out Canelo. This step aside agreement bull**** is ****ing lame.

You either want the belt or you dont.

There is nothing to defend. GGG doesn't give 2 ****z about the WBC belt, he cares about money that comes with a fight against a big name. For this reason hes had to play ball against guys like Nelo and Cotto. If he forced the issue these guys would have just dropped the belt, and while hed have the belt he'd have no big fight.

David shouldn't get that fight but he will it's going to happen sooner or later.

haha irony

That hit close to home for you I guess.

Lemieux would kill himself trying to make 157. He can't do it. He can barely make 160. Those extra 3 pounds would kill him.

Make the damn fight already. Stop ducking golden boy just let your cash cow get his ass kicked.

I don't get the WBC hate here. If k2 Steps aside, that's on them

If GGG/K2 fall for another banana in the tailpipe, ****, they deserve to be jerked around. But I fully expect they know fans won't tolerate another step aside, as they've said they're done stepping aside.

for those interested in the purse bid situation this was also part of the same interview, if anyone can translate...

"Se mandó ya la carta oficial iniciando las libres negociaciones, tienen dos semanas para llegar a un acuerdo y si no, el 24 de mayo habrá una subasta en la que cualquier promotor puede participar sin un mínimo requerido", destacó Sulaimán.

Sobre los porcentajes, fue claro: "Cuando hay una subasta y hay un campeón y su retador es 70 por ciento para el campeón y 30 por ciento para el retador, pero en este caso al ser campeón y campeón interino, y el reglamento nos pide hacer una votación para ver la división de los porcentajes de acuerdo a los números de lo que han producido"

It says the same thing in the article.

Since they agreed on an interim fight we've been hearing they signed an agreement to fight each other next. Is that agreement legally binding? If Canelo doesn't fight GGG next and he's stripped can K2 sue Golden Boy?

If WBC goes back on the contract they gave k2, yes they can be sued.

For that kind of check he'd give it a try, look at Geale who looked like a corpse at the weigh-in for Cotto. Money makes people do crazy shizznit.

'If they reach an agreement for another interim fight then we will allow it' - well, yeah, I mean, they can't force 'em to fight , can they? But team GGG will look like dumbasses if they allow another interim fight only to have Saul vacate then. This **** needs to be resolved already, one way or another.

If GGG takes another step aside then shouldn't we be crooks make him defend his mandatory position?

[SUBZER0ED]

I didn't like that last part about big fights of the past taking years to make. Golovkin is 34. The time is now!
