Comments Thread For: Saunders: I Want Golovkin Next, Give Me a Date - I'll Accept!

[deathofaclown]

People are ****** anyway if they think because Brook landed shots, they can. Firstly Brook is very skilled and will have his good moments while he's still in the fight.

Secondly GGG really didn't respect his power. You didn't see him being that wild and risky with Lemieux, GGG isn't that ******. Even if Lemieux isn't that skilled, you still wouldn't want to take too many flush shots from him.

The problem for Saunders is he doesn't carry that much power. He's got a good ring IQ and not easy to land clean shots on though but i can't see any outcome other than Golovkin eventually breaking him down.

Good fight though. All the belts on the line, nobody can complain about this one.

GGG will give up the WBA super belt to fight BJS then comeback to fight Jacobs (If he beats BJS) to get his belt back that how I see now if BJS is really down to fight him next

It will be GGG vs. Saunders! Saunders saw that fight and now has ballz! Will Canelo fight Jacobs or Lemieux?

honest question here: no possible way for hbo to change a date for such a star like ggg??
i just dont want ggg to fight another can or another welter and blame it on the date cuz saunders or jacobs arent available...

Cotto is supposedly fighting on December 3 in Florida and Canelo the next week, December 10 at MSG. And than Jacobs December 17 PBC on NBC from Barclays.

And I think that's exactly what happens! Only question is who does Jacobs fight? I elect Erislandy Lara @ 160!

Lara would be perfect, but I think he costs too much. Could be Alfonso Blanco, basically he's Jacob's mandatory, or even fellow Haymon client -Maciej Sulecki, who'd draw a big Polish crowd in the NY area, Rob Brant is another Haymon client and WBA #4. I think Lee might be too much risk, but he'd be as good a choice as Lara.

BJS is after a pay day. He got called out by GGG and is seeing the dollar signs flash before his eyes.

And why do boxers always say they've seen flaws? It's one of the most annoying statements a boxer can make.

Where you see the December 17th date? Man it sounds like both Golovkin with his Nov. 26th date and now Jacobs with Dec.17 have no intention of fighting. Dec. 17th would be a horrible ppv date, hell it's a bad gate date, too close to Christmas shopping.

Jacobs said he's fighting again in December and their's a PBC show at Barclays in December. I just out 2 and 2 together.

Unification trumps a mandatory within the WBA. Sturm was mandated to defend vs Golovkin and instead fought a unification with Geale.

Golovkin can fight Saunders, keep his belt, then fight Jacobs early next year.

Unification only trumps a mando if it's not mandated once WBA mandated Jacobs/GGG to take place it's now up to the respective teams to do either a step aside or fight go through

Knowing how active GGG likes to stay you know he could do a quick turn around, wreck Saunders on the Fury/Klitchsko undercard, and turn around again and wreck Jacobs in December.

We'll be lucky if even one of these fights happens though. Saunders may be more likely then Jacobs. Just because Jacobs is already trying to make the terms trying to force it at the Barkley Center and in December when he's not even the real champ. If Jacobs really wants it though it will definitely happen. Thats the only time a Haymon fighter fights anybody good is when they actually demand it.

It really makes them look bad. "Oh I saw some holes so now I'll finally fight you."
