Toronto.

Rolls is from Etobicoke, a suburb in Toronto.

Never heard a thing about Steve Rolls til now. I'm a Golovkin fan, but I have to admit, this choice of opponent doesn't look good.

Close enough. I didn't even count the Vanes fight because he was nothing.

if thats the case i will have to agree with you, then...

I am a Golovkin fan but this is utter poopoo.

So Alvarez fails a drug test, scrapping the planned fight and it's Golovkin who is supposed to make up for it. Name a fighter who took on an equally tough fight when the original got scrapped a month before.

FACT: Hypekin had a full camp, the short notice excuse is bullshlt

FACT: if the fight was deferred to June, Bullshltkin would have 7 full weeks to specifically prepare for Saunders..... on top of the time he already spent in camp

sorry, but there always seems to be some half-assed reason why Golovkin simply MUST select a no-hoper

Yeah, no ****.

... can anyone make sense of this ...

“Andrade has his mandatory obligation.”...

“Andrade (27-0, 17 KOs), the WBO middleweight champion, might fight Poland’s Sulecki (28-1, 11 KOs) on June 22 or June 29 in Providence, Rhode Island, Andrade’s hometown. Sulecki is not the mandatory challenger for Andrade’s title”

Not sure I understand why GGG and Andrade are not being lined up next. Don’t make sense to me either. 🤨

Yeah, I don't understand why Toronto and the rest of Ontario isn't more interested in boxing. A few years ago when Steve Molitor was doing well, his fights would be aired on tv and it was looking like Ontario fighters were beginning to get more exposure, but as soon as Molitor got KO'd by Caballero....that hope ended real quick.

FACT: I'm still waiting for you to name a fighter who trained for one tough fight, then took an equally tough fight after the first one got scrapped within a month of fight night.
