Spike to fight GGG as May 5th replacement

WAR SPIKE WAR...lol

if all these guys are not bluffing didn't derevyanchenko, andrade, chavez jr. and Gilberto Ramirez offered to step in? much better opponents. chavez is garbage but I would like to see him get knocked out.

Sullivan is at gatekeeper level and gets overrated by a win against a flawed prospect who was knocked out and taken of all his confidence by avtandil khurtsidze.

if this happens it will be absolutely hysterical. i'm talking both about the move, and the fight. hysterical. holy **** is that dude going to get clobbered.

what's Charlo doing in May?

I sure hope that's wrong. That's a terrible fight for GGG. It does nothing for his resume and prestige even if he wins by 1st round KO. There are better middleweights he could fight.

Wtf man, nobody wants to see Spike get demolished. Postpone until June and fight BJS.

[Kagami Taiga]

If he's gonna waste our time with that then he might as well not fight. Golovkin should NEVER be fighting anyone on Euro Level unless he moves up a division. This **** is pathetic.

I understand it's hard to get a replacement opponent at last minute, but they really should have tried to get someone better. This fight does nothing for Golovkin. Don't me wrong, it's not a horrible fight since Spike is probably somewhere in top20, but it does nothing.

Should have fought Andrade or Derevyanchenko. MUCH better fights.

Boxrec has Spike #27

For reference Gabe Rosado is #25

what's Charlo doing in May?

He fights in April

Awful fight.. even as replacement with someone like Derevyanchenko saying he's read... I mentioned it before - I believe issue might be Golden Boy having venue booked, so they want to be part of the show...

No.

Issue is Gennady is afraid of muscles as he specified in recent interview about Canelo's masculinity

Gennady wants soft-touches since he's 1-1-1 in his last 3 fights :/
