Comments Thread For: Golovkin-Eubank Has Great Chance of Being Made, Says Hearn

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Eddie Hearn, the head of Matchroom Sport, believes there is a very realistic chance that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin (35-0, 32KO) will defend his belts against Chris Eubank Jr. (22-1, 17 KOs) on a date in September, and a UK venue to be determined.

So... They didn't restart negotiations with Canelo? :/

This case just ended and all of a sudden this fight is close to being made? Come on.


On the plus side... I'd love to see GGG beat the dog s hit out of Eubank jr. Not so because I dislike Eubank Jr or anything but he's just been an idiot lately. I wish he produced as many results as he acts like he has...

I do like his style though but it's also to spite his dad that I want to see him humbled a bit

Golovkin and his team would obviously prefer the Canelo fight...But lets be honest, Canelo doesn't want it (yet).

If this happens, we will finally see the end of that big mouth Eubank and his father.

The article says:

"Golovkin's handlers are still in talks with Golden Boy Promotions for a fight with Saul "Canelo' Alvarez, who returns on September 17th likely at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas."

A fight to look forward to but I think Eubank gets stopped after a solid effort around eight.

It's hard to buy into Hearns comments really.. He said the same about Brook-Khan.. but if it gets made then it will a good fight till it lasts..

[Hougigo]

Eubank Jr wouldn't happen to be fighting soon, could he?

*Checks Calendar
Oh, next week, what a surprise. Maybe next week we'll see an article where the fight is really close and Chris wants it next

[Eff Pandas]

If Canelo is bsing about new talks, as I expect he is, then I hope Eubank is the guy. Eubank seems to be the most notable highest ranked guy who actually wants to fight GGG now. Everybody else wanna fight GGG for 16M, or in 2 fights or on the next Mexican holiday not this one.

Interivew from a couple weeks ago, Hearn talks about it @27:18


Seems pretty likely from the way he talks about it.
