Comments Thread For: Golovkin vs. Martirosyan Finalized For May 5 on HBO, StubHub

[stealthradon]

to my understanding he's had absolutely 0 middleweight fights.

In his fight against Howe he weighed in at 157 and Howe at 159.

In his fight against Cazares he weighed in at 159 and Cazares weighed in at 162

In his fight against Gutierrez he weighed in at 158

In his fight against Davis he weighed in at 155, his opponent at 157

But it was about time that Vanes moved up in weight, that's what boxers do, apparently.

Short notice, small $ stay busy.. could be worse.

Name a worse fight

wait why is this called mexican style 2? lol ***ing pathetic

[Dean_Razorback]

fuck this fight and fuck canelo too. this is his fault too

[Motorcity Cobra]

Pretty terrible main that we can blame Clenelo for. I'll still go to this but in the cheap seats. Can't justify $200+ plus the $14 drinks on this event.

How is Canelo to blame for GGG picking Vanes when there were other options?

If he fights Saunders say in August or September and then Derevychenko or Charlo at the end of the year (or the other way around) that's a pretty good year even though people will **** on those guys if he beats them.

Yes, I think so too. I also would not blame him if he retired after that, as unified champ. I don't think he will though. For monentary reasons, I do think that he will try to get a Canelo rematch, though I am personally not really intrigued by the thought of it. The first match was pretty boring, and GGG is not getting any younger - so I see a boring UD for Canelo if this fight happens in May 2019 (which I think it will).

I have no problem with this fight. It was short notice and chances of getting a big name were slim. I'll give Triple G a pass on this one since his last two fights have been Jacobs and Canelo back to back. He will be fighting a big fight in the fall, so I don't mind Vanes Martirosyan as a fill in.

His mandatory was ready to take the fight on the same date. How do you not have a problem with this?

Golovkin vs Khan

For cheating and leaving them in this mess. If Canelo didn't cheat we'd have GGG-Canelo II on May 5th and could finally put that one to bed.
