Comments Thread For: Golovkin's Promoter Looks To Jacobs - as WBA Orders The Fight!

I can't even see him beating Badou Jack if he fought like he did last night. I think "Porky" Medina would give GGG problems at 168. The punches that I see that consistently land on GGG, straight rights and uppercuts, would be devastating if they were being thrown by Jack or Medina. I haven't seen enough of Zurdo to make a predicition.

We've heard that before. Broom supposedly hurt Froch. But couldn't hurt GGG who wanted a street fight. Never even trying to much defend, just punish.

Plus, GGG said weeks ago he couldn't afford to look too good against Brook.
After he said maybe guys will sign now. There seems to be a pattern here.

However, Brook is a quality fighter, but his face could hang on.

Neither of the guys you stated would stand much of a shot.

It's probably going to ppv. Hbo already said they don't want the fight and there probably isn't enough money for the networks to pay the purses the boxers want.

HBO never said that. You just used rumors of rumors, now it's rumors of rumors of rumors.

How is it possible for HBO not to want the fight after all the time and money they have invested in GGG, being this his most appealing fight so far if it happens? It makes no sense.

Don't worry, they never said that. They may not outbid Haymon if it goes to purse bid, but that's another issue.

fact jacobs and saunders are ggg biggest fights at middleweight is depressing for so many reasons at this rate well never know how great ggg is

He'd beat up both DeGeale and Ramirez. Badou Jack would be a tougher opponent.

Golovkin can take shots but step up to 168 and all the incoming is that much harder and his outgoing just has a little bit less effect.

Unless Golovkin has a stronger chin than is even apparent at the moment then he could easily get worn down by incoming at 168. Jack DeGale and Ramirez can all box a bit. Ramirez not as well as Jack or DeGale but his advantage would be a hard jab and tremendous reach.

Brook said he saw Golovkin's legs buckle slightly a couple of times. I didn't see that on a stream but not sure if it showed up on tv ?

HBO has said no such thing. Lance Pugmire said he heard from someone who heard from someone that HBO wont spend the money. That "story" has not been confirmed by anyone else yet.

Ohh ok sorry for spreading rumors. I'm pretty sure they were heading the ppv direction anyways.

to be fair it was a fluke that he broke his eye socket in the first round regardless of ggg power it was very unlucky

Saunders yes but Jacobs not really. The 80's were a golden era unlikely to be repeated. Who are all these great MWs from the last 16 years who would have presented such a huge problem? Hopkins, Martinez and ?

Boxing is not as great as it once was, stop trolling and get used to it.

GGG is not invincible and will get beat by a bigger boxer soon
GGG is a great fighter but not some machine that cannot be beaten and stopped. Probably a Gilberto or even a DeGale beats GGG down the road. It's all about money anyway and GGG just does not make much money. Saunders would lose to GGG but would pay some cash. Jacobs in NYC is a nice payday. Titles mean squat it's the cash that sings the loudest. amazing how trhe shrimps mini kids half pints midgets like felon Floyd and greasy Manny make the big cash? go figure?

why floyd fought way better competition then ggg and not just cause people are avoiding ggg either

[Eastcoast]

First off, the Lance Pugmire tweet saying HBO won't pay for Jacobs/Golovkin - HBO didn't pay for Lemieux/Golovkin either, it was ppv. Jacobs/Golovkin was always going to need to go the ppv route, so no breaking news there.


Second off, Golovkin allowed to bypass the mandatory with Jacobs in favor of a unification with Saunders. That's what happened to Golovkin when Sturm was finally mandated with a deadline, last second Sturm got the unification fight with Geale and bypassed GGG.

December
Golovkin/Saunders
Jacobs/Blanco (yuck)

March
Golovkin/Jacobs

March is a better ppv month for Golovkin/Jacobs, and NYSAC will probably have amended the insurance bill by then.

Saunders is sounding firm. He wants that UK money.

@bjsaunders_ calls out GGG says he's ready to fight whatever date #TeamGGG want. Take a look 📽 pic.twitter.com/HDYQOfRtdw
