Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter: Eubank in The UK Would Be Huge Event

[MDPopescu]

Trust me this fight would sell out over here. No matter how we dice it Eubank has a good name (Due to his father and slowly due junior now) and GGG comes with a big punching reputation, Skysports would hype the sht out of this fight and it would be bigger than we all thought.

You should know better...

It';s funny, though, that the latest CompuBox P4P list has Golovkin ranked at #1, but with the best jab in the sport to date!!!

This **** is ridiculous now... we get an article everyday on how it's almost made... this article was literally made off of a text message from Tom Loeffler.... jesus

Of course it will.

This will sell out the o2 arena in less than 5 minutes, easily.

I'll be trying to get tickets for sure.

GGG is not divarish enough. They should be fighting in kazjstan or Russia or wherever it is GGG comes from. It will be hard for GGG to beat eubank on eybanks turf.

Off at a little tangent here, but it always puzzles me why Compubox use their connect +/- percentages as a means of rankling when it seems perfectly obvious (to me at least) that the ratio of Total Punches Landed / Total opponents punches landed would give a far more accurate representation of how fights go - in short it's quite possible to get 100% cnct by throwing only 1 punch a round if you land it. I know the newer system brings in other factors too, but their Cnct %s are still a major factor, which I just find baffling when you have the actual numbers. I mean sure in a close fight efficiency and more accurate punching could make the difference but on the whole it's the amount of leather that lands which counts.

Now - after that little essay, I'd just like to point out that Compubox's P4P ranking system - like all the others, especially algorithm based, supposedly 'objective' ones - is a stinking bag of turds and the information should only ever be used for reference purposes.

HBO's already planning Golovkin/Eubank during the day and Gonzalez/Caudras at night. Freaking great day of boxing.

Gtfoh!!!

Your Brits going to have his ass handed to him,....no matter what country this fight takes place. Only way jr wins is to fire low blows and deliberate punches after the bell. If he makes it that far. GGG will wreck him inside of three rounds.

True that.. Sky hypes the fights 10x more than any other network.. Also match room usually puts up a good undercard to excite people.. If Haye can sell out the O2 with Mori and Cobra and not even being on Sky, then this event should do good attendance..

I criticize GGG but I'm good with this fight

I have no issue w/ GGG fighting Eubank. Eubank is accomplished enough to warrant a title fight with anyone in MW division. Actually looking forward to the fight although GGG is obviously the heavy favorite.
