Dirk getting owned by Tom Loeffler

[kafkod]

This is not a good fight for GGG whichever way you slice it... he might make a few quid off of it... but the reality is within the boxing community (which is pretty much the only people who watch these days... the casuals moving in droves over to the UFC) and boxing writers circles, this fight is being seen as a joke... and GGG gains a reputation for taking on weak opponents once more. In terms of building a respectable resume and legacy - for want of a better word - this fight stinks.
Now, I am aware people have openly ducked Golovkin, but at the same time, there were better options than taking on a welterweight... and like I say, the boxing world knows that and this fight is just being viewed as a farce and overall may end up damaging Golovkin's stock...
The fight is really indefensible.

It wasn't "the boxing community" who bought every ticket for this fight within 11 minutes of them going on sale!

I haven't read one article in the sports press or newspapers or seen anything in sports news broadcasts saying that it's indefensible for a MW champ to defend his title against a WW. It's actually happened many times before.

It'd been nice if K2 made a push to steal DeGale from the Jack fight prior to signing for the Brook fight. K2 never asked for the Brook fight, they were presented it last second and quickly agreed thinking easy money and big publicity.


Here's Hearn's statement on Golovkin/DeGale following the DeGale/Medina fight.

Would've been nice. But always better to keep milking the cow.

He agreed to defer the Canelo fight to Sept. 2017.

He agreed? K2 didn't have any choice in the matter. Canelo vacated and moved back down.

If they can get a future Canelo fight they'll take it, but otherwise they've moved on. They have fights planned for December, March, June that don't involve Canelo.

Who do they involve?

Lol, How about you spend 3 hours making a chart that proves me correct again since that went so well for you last time.
Little tip; have some purpose in your life besides being a Golovkin apologist and you won't look liker such a clown all the time.

You made a false statement and got proven wrong. Deal with it.


PS - learn how to use Excel. It shouldn't take you 3 minutes to make a chart like that with pivot tables.

Loefflers date kept postponing the prom, but Tom is POSITIVE she really likes him and really wants to go. It just may take a year or 2 for it to happen......lol

Bwahahah!!

Who do they involve?

As with all of boxing - all tentative. Eubank is still on the table for December, DeGale possible if he doesn't get the Jack fight signed by September. They mentioned Gilberto Rameriz for March. And the June fight is supposed to be in Kazakhstan is association with the festivities for the energy conference taking place there, and the likely candidate could be his IBF mando which is looking like Derevyanchenko. Also there's the Danny Jacobs issue to be resolved as they'll both be open after the weekend of September 9th.

ya i saw loughler going back n fourth on kims twitter last night and while hes right about a lot of things he sure is good at playing mind gymastics and playing out the narrative

[Ray*]

Did he actually answer the question? Or did he duck the question and attack like typical GGG fanatics would do on here?
