Comments Thread For: Golovkin: I Promise To Bring My Best, All-Action Fight With Rolls

[boliodogs]

Dangerous fight for Gennady. He doesnt need to fight undefeated fighters before a mega fight so huge respect to him. Should be a crazy war, ordering DAZN just for that month. CGant wait.

I am a huge GGG fan but I am disappointed in this fight. I wish he was fighting a better known more proven opponent. Rolls is undefeated but he hasn't beaten anybody good and he is ranked 95th in the world by boxrec. GGG is good enough to fight a top 10 contender as a warm up fight.

Rumor is Rolls dropped Canelo in sparring.

It could be worse. He can be fighting Rocky Fielding who has 2 losses on his record.

You mean the Rocky that held a world title at 168.. Isn't this at a CW.. Rolls is 35 with 19 fights lmfao.... Whoa

Hmm... have to criticise Golovkin for choosing such a poor opponent in his 'return' fight after, what for him, was an extended layoff.

Being a fan of both Golovkin and Canelo for different reasons, at least Canelo rebounded after what was a taxing fight in September with an elevated regional titlist - it was a mismatch for sure, but at least the guy had a decent record and half a belt.


Steve Rolls is ranked by Boxrec all the way down at number 93. He's now suddenly ranked in the top ten by the IBF. He's 35 with a dubious record against no names while holding a fairly good amateur record of about 90 fights mostly wins.
I could accept this level of fighter if Golovkin was coming off a long injury break with significant ring rust, but he isn't.

This time last year he was the unified middleweight champion heading into a fight with late replacement Vanes Martirosyan.
He isn't doing himself any favours by plucking a club fighter out of nowhere - He is giving his detractors an abundance of ammunition to keep up their critical assessment of him which is that he only takes the big fights when there are big money and belts on the line, which is counter to how Golovkin has marketed himself to the fans - that he is a simple, blood and guts warrior who wants to give his fans the best possible fights available.

This fight is going to be a tough, tough sell. The only angle here is the Rocky rags to riches opportunity for Rolls who gets a career-high payday just before his best days are behind him.

GGG vs unknown Rolls is a RIDICULOUS fight! Mungia vs unknown Hogan is a RIDICULOUS fight! Davis vs Gamboa is a RIDICULOUS fight! When are people on these boards going to stop being biased and criticize EQUALLY! Some fans defend their fighters while berating other fighters for doing the exact same thing!

I know who Davis and Gamboa are. And Hogan was ranked #1 and heard of him.

I have never heard of the Rolls before.


They saying they picked Rolls for the Canadian connection??.

Any Canadians on this site heard of him???

Ggg fighting a Tootsie Roll LMFAO.

Vanes Rolls vs GGF for the Tootsie Roll Belt

[Shadoww702]

WOW!!!!
