So are they going to wait until AFTER the Canelo hearing to make an announcement?

The April 18th hearing for Canelo will be key here in terms of how GGG plans out his immediate future..... #boxing

terrible fight lol Not only is Vanes not even a middleweight he hasn't fought in 2 years. This is worse then Spike or Munguia and those were shyt fights that GGG was getting killed for pursing. And it looks like Lou is not letting go and GGG might get stripped the IBF belt.

I disagree, Vanes makes everybody looks bad, Lara, Charlo...

So even if inactivity makes him sloppy and having ring rust.

It's still a lot better than ****in Mungui and moustache boy.

He won't be small at 160, dude is 6 ft. That's still better than sht middleweights like Spike or Wade.

I've been a professional sports writer for 25 years. This is the first time in my experience that a press conference has been called to announce.... nothing! #GGGTBA

So as of now its GGG vs TBA on May5th(hopefully) at TBD... #boxing

Tom Loeffler is an ATG

[kafkod]

Not official yet but Golovkin and promoter Tom Loeffler moving toward finalizing a May 5 fight (on HBO at StubHub Center) for GGG vs. Vanes Martirosyan, a horrendous matchup. He hasn't boxed in two years. He's never fought as a middleweight. He's coming... https://t.co/lONmWCfqJK

Good chance @GGGBoxing will be stripped of the IBF belt for fighting Martirosyan.

— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) April 12, 2018

#GGGMartirosyan = #rawsewage @HBOboxing

— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) April 12, 2018

And shame on the @WBCBoxing & @WBABoxing for agreeing to sanction #GGGMartirosyan when Vanes hasnt fought for 2 years, is coming off a loss and is not a middleweight. #rawsewage

— Dan Rafael (@danrafaelespn) April 12, 2018

I'm really puzzled why Raphael is saying that when the IBF haven't even ordered GGG to fight Derevyanchenko.

They can't strip him for not fighting a mando unless they first order him to do it, and he doesn't comply.

LOL at GGG receiving more heat than the Clambuterol team and GDP.

Vanes not that bad for a 3 weeks short notice.

Derev would be better though.

Canelo got obliterated for failing those tests man. No amount of criticism towards GGG will surpass that.

But yes GGG should get blamed for picking a guy nobody wants to see him fight when there's more worthy guys on the list. Derevyanchenko or Andrade would've not caused a ****storm because those guys are already at 160 and are talented. I would pick Derev over Andrade.

Vanes is not a MW. At least GGG should do the honourable thing and meet him at least at 158. But we know he doesn't make sacrifices for anything. Wants everybody else to come where he's comfortable. If he offered Vanes a catchweight I would respect this fight more.

[sicko]

He doesn't have to scramble for a last minute opponent. He can fight his mandatory.

He is NOT fighting Derevyanchenko or any legit 160 Contender with and month or now less than a month to prepare and honestly and I DON'T BLAME HIM! Most of Camp was in preparation for Canelo then all of a sudden things change which mind you IS NOT HIS FAULT! I give him a Pass to take a Soft Touch/Cherry on short Notice. Then after this if he doesn't get Canelo in September or if NSAC Suspend Canelo for 6 months or a Year then it has to be Derevyanchenko, Charlo or a BJS Unification next.
