expect a lot of the gear on eBay with names like Jose or Maria.
Description: ''Barely Used''

Did you put your money where your mouth is? You can get good odds. You definitely have the judges in your favor if you do.

just need canelo to announce he has russian/korean blood to have the majority of continents scratching their heads in confusion.

lol!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!

Golovkin is trying really hard to appease Mexican fans. Nothing wrong with it but it will be curious to see if he gets many boos on Saturday. If he doesn't then he's accomplished what he's trying to do.

Who the hell is that in your avatar?

Seriously, I wish GGG gave interviews in Russian.

He doesn't come across very well in English. And this is by design. He is saying what he thinks he needs to say, and he doesn't seem very smart.

He was asked once during an interview in Russian whether he plans to improve his English - he said no, as his English is sufficient for what he needs to do.

GGG is a whole different person when he speaks Russian. He's a clever guy, but he's also a bit arrogant. Doesn't share anything personal about himself or his family. Is defensive and (passive) aggressive.

So he is basically just saying rubbish that he thinks people want to hear.

Anyway, who cares... He doesn't need to be a public speaker. He needs to KO Canelo, because getting a decision against Canelo in Vegas is a b*tch - even Floyd only got majority decision...

Enough said.....!

I wonder how Golovkin's Kazakh fans feel about his constantly yearning to be from Mexico. The guy wins an Olympic medal representing Kazakhstan, but wishes he was from somewhere else.
Sort of like Lennox Lewis winning gold for Canada, then deciding he'd rather be British. Lennox can be excused due to having ties to England, but GGG has no ties to Mexico.

No! This boxing. A great war. Respect sport, respect corner. This a big drama show, a present to the fans.

Has Golovkin ever actually been to Mexico? The country he claims to love so much.

GGG pandering to mexicans is pretty lame, wonder how the white power brigade feel about this lol.

Canelo looks way "whiter" than GGG. So does Cuadras. About 15% of the Mexican population are estimated to be white Caucasian. They are probably "whiter" than those "white power brigade" lunatics that you mentioned, but wouldn't waste their time joining such group of demented psychos.

Yes, he does. His big-mouthed trainer is Mexican-American. And his fighting style is "Mexican" in essence, very similar in style to that of legendary Julio Cesar Chavez. Always moving forward, attack the body, then the face. And he says he likes Mexican food. So there. He is almost Mexican already lol
