Comments Thread For: Warren: Early Talks Started For Golovkin vs. Saunders in February

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

There was much speculation that WBO middleweight titlist, Billy Joe Saunders (23-0, 12KOs), was going to make the first defense of his title this weekend at AT&T Stadium near Dallas, Texas on the undercard of Saul Alvarez-Liam Smith. Instead, that deal between Frank Warren and Golden Boy Promotions fell apart.

Saunders then Jacobs, then Canelo at the end of the year. 2017 will be one hell of a year for boxing!

He has a belt GGG wants.
Plus he is not coming up from welter weight.
Plus it will generate some interest and money whether anyone thinks Saunders has a chance or not.
Plus ...i will watch and you will too.

Jacobs in November, followed by Saunders unification in February would be a pretty amazing 3 months. Of course boxing tends to disappoint, but early noise sounds good.

Wish list: Jacobs, Saunders, Eubank in May (after beat Blanco to have the last WBA belt), Canelo for the Lineal (assuming he's not stripped, which by the rules he should be).

If this is true then that pretty much means that K2 is not expecting the Jacobs fight in November. That's way too many fights in a short period of time.

Which also tells me that they're expecting Jacobs to vacate the WBA Regular belt. I'm guessing that they'll decline any offer for the fight and force a purse bid, which will force Jacobs to accept 25% (as per WBA rules). I don't think he'll accept that unless Haymon puts up an enormous bid which is unlikely.

I though Loeffler allready sent out a message saying in no circumstance they wil let the Jacobs fight go...

I think they want the Jacobs fight this year and Saunders soon after.

Golovkin always says he wants to fight 4 times per year so it shouldn't be a problem unless he gets an injury that needs to heal.

I'll watch it for sure, like him or not Golovkin is A/A+ fighter, Saunders is C+/B-, just like Liam Smith C+/B- vs Canelo A/A+
