Comments Thread For: Nacho: NSAC Made Right Call To Prevent Golovkin vs. Munguia

[Sledgeweather17]

Bumkillovkin at it again.

Dan Rafael said multiple sources said they had agreed terms.

"Terms had been agreed to for Golovkin to face junior middleweight prospect Jaime Munguia (28-0, 24 KOs), 21, a quality prospect from Mexico, multiple sources with knowledge of the discussions told ESPN on Wednesday."

I know you want to act like Golovkin never pursued the fight but it's almost certain he did.

"However, because Munguia has faced extremely low-level opposition, has never had a scheduled 12-round fight and is not a middleweight it was questionable whether the commission would approve him as an opponent. On Thursday, sources told ESPN that the commission was not going to approve him."

Golovkin tried to pull a kid up that was a WW only a year ago. Ridiculous.

Yup. And the NAC can't just say sht like that based on rumors. Something was officially passed to them for them to "officially" deny the the fight.

[Shadoww702]

Do a search on 'Munguia' on boxingscene, and read what actually got reported.

Firstly, Loeffler never filed Munguia with the NSAC, so how did the NSAC approve/disapprove ? What we were told was 'sources close to the NSAC' said that if Munguia was requested, the NSAC would deny. That's not official, nor is it confirmation that it happened.

Also, what we heard on Apr 5 was:

..but apparently Munguia has moved into position to challenge Golovkin on May 5 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas...

But now we are hearing:

A deal was actually reached for the fight between Munguia and Golovkin - but the Nevada State Athletic Commission put a stop to the contest.

This is not what was reported before, so where does this come from ? Was a deal reached ? Was a request filed with the NSAC (I get the impression it wasn't). Did the NSAC put a stop to it ? (I get the impression they never got a chance to)

This is a guy who CLEARLY has his head shoved wayyy up GGG's ass. Just because you dont want to believe it doesbt mean it's not REAL.

Lie to yourself all you want. Just dont expect us to believe your lying ass.

Err, how do you know i 'want to act like golovkin never pursued the fight ?'. I'd actually like to know exactly what happened is all. A bit tired of this 'sources say this, sources say that' then everyone acting like its gospel. But as you say, now its 'multiple sources' so must be true.

But Spence vs Ocampo isnt a mismatch ?

ocampo is the mandatory. Spence didnt pick him. the ibf did

[DuckAdonis]

ocampo is the mandatory. Spence didnt pick him. the ibf did

So was Dominic Wade, its still a mismatch

[Mexican_Puppet]

The kid is not promoted by Golden Boy but Zanfer Promotions. The same outfit that promotes 22 yrs old Carlos Ocampo the mandatory to Errol Spence belt. Zanfer is doing a disservice to their young fighters putting them in with top talent this soon both Ocampo and Manguia are blue chip talents they should be brought up slowly not thrown in their with lions.

Thats the way to work of Zanfer.

Zanfer accepted a fight of Estrada vs González in 108 pounds when Estrada never fought in that division and Estrada had like 22 years old.

Thats the style.of Zanfer

[Nightfall]

Good points but my complaint was about the belt organizations who were ready to approve this crap, and not about the NSAC.

[Hmabshir]

Kid never fought a 12 round fight and never fought at middleweight. The kid is 21 hasn’t even grown into his grown man body and strength an golovkin was ok with fighting him. Borat is a bum

[MachoPower]

I am guessing GGG has been training as never before because he was getting ready to fight Canelo, so...why is it that he doesn't fight some one with a proven record or at least someone that looks like he could give him a good fight? Then if he wins the fight, in a spectacular fashion, he will be sending a clear message that a rematch with Canelo is really necessary and that he will beat him....but fighting easy fights...what for?
