Never heard of this guy. Bummer because G isn't getting any younger and fights like this don't benefit him at this stage.

Exactly. All this guy has to do is make GGG look bad. Rolls can still have a good night & lose yet he will land paydays down the road.

didn't know Rolls was a black guy. Never heard of Rolls before and thought it was some bearded Canadian lumberjack. Another joke mismatch.

*locks your neck from behind* You are gonna black out even if I feel the tap *holds on and pressures like a cobra* *feels you collapse.. but keeps holding with a rear nakkid choke*

Keep fantasizing lil bytch, you ain't NEVER whipped no one!

Rolls looks like a WW.

Not a big fan of ggg, but he has/had a killer instinct and splendid ring cutting technique.

That myth got busted in the first Canelo fight.

Was thinking I slipped outta the loop.... then I looked at Boxrec and realized I hadn't. Didn't recognize any of Steve Rolls' opponents. So IOW, GGG taking an easy return to the ring... IOW he's starting to doubt himself.

He definitely had a good run... albeit against mainly 2nd tier fighters, but still he had some memorable back n' forth fights vs Canelo, Jacobs, first couple rounds vs Brook etc. Definitely one of the better MWs in recent years. Now let's see how he does on his return. Should be interesting.

GGG back to his usual self beating up track coaches.

i dont blame him, GGG is old af, got robbed against canelo and these easy fights are good for him at this point of his career. he looked pretty past his prime against the slick mexican and lets see if he has recovered after those fights! there is too much politics in boxing for me to get upset at the matchups at this point of my life, when i was in my twenties i would be crushed not seeing the top guys fight each other but at this point i dont give too much fuggs. smart move by rolls to not diss GGG and keep him happy before the fight, when he gets angry hes in KO mode. remember canelo needed clen and peds to have two super close decisions over the kazakh and unless rolls is something special i expect the former champ to steam roll his opponent.

Hey Gigi, why aren’t you fighting Charlo if you mean business of a comeback on top trail. Time is of essence

GGG will face anyone from 154 to 168, so that explains steve rolls.
