Steve Rolls is not that bad - change my mind

[Boxing_1013]

I am a Golovkin fan, this is a B u ll Sh I t fight

No doubt - was just saying I don't think Rolls is as awful as people said he was. He seems like a top 20 guy to me, which is not really the level we want to see from a top guy. We agree there.

I'd like to see him fight Fielding if he puts up a good performance against Golovkin. By good I mean he makes it past the third round.

Tony - did you vote Brexit party btw?

Lol - I would like to see him in with GGG, and if he looks OK I would like to see him in with another lower tier guy at MW. Maybe Korobov or Aleem or someone like that.

Fielding even weighing in at 168 is a lower tier middleweight.

Deacon Rolls has fuck-all of a chance and you know it, smh.

It's so bad, I can't even say this is GGG's Rocky Fielding, at least Rocky had a belt to gaslight us into thinking he was halfway built for that level fight.

Golovkin and his Golovkunts are ridiculous.

Ironically they seem to have a decent boxing scene there...nothing like we have here in Vegas but they seem to be able to put on a lot of home fights for their fighters. I guess they make some money there somehow

Yeah, definitely a good fight scene in eastern canada, Montreal especially, but most of the good fighters from there aren't even born Canadians.

I'll oblige you though. IF rolls can get on the inside and work, he might be able to get some body punches in. He doesn't come in with a jab or anything that will trouble a good fighter. I don't expect Golovkin to let him inside or possibly even mid-range with that jab he has. This is just a showcase fight for Golovkin to get a highlight reel KO against an undefeated fighter.

Like I said, I hope it's a good fight but they picked this guy to build up momentum and to hype Golovkin. IF Rolls does good, everyone that hates Golovkin isn't about to give him any kind of credit for winning. Personally, I would be disappointed if G doesn't blast him out in 3 rounds or less.

Hey now !!!!!

Rolls is a ''top 20'' guy (#18ish)
The word ''top'' is being sullied hardcore

Show respect.

Dude not at all justifying it - would much rather see him in with Canelo again, or Andrade or Charlo. But I think with his deal with DAZN, with what they're paying him, there's just no way he has many more light touches after this fight.

As I said throughout this thread, at best Rolls has the proverbial puncher's chance which I would give to anyone. But the fight isn't going 10 rounds and Rolls has about a 5% chance of landing a lucky punch on a 37 year old GGG.

My only point in making the thread was to say in my 20-30 minutes of initial research into Rolls, he seemed better than the 100 ranking he was being given. Was wondering if anyone else had footage or insights into it.

But since this is BS most of the posters just get nasty so what can you do. Was hoping there was some hidden fight footage I hadn't seen etc.

Fair enough, sometimes it's hard to tell on here. You know how it is. Sometimes the fanatics try to big up a win. Cheers that you actually watch boxing and watch all levels though.

Almost all Golovkin fans are saying this is a poor matchup. So where are you coming from with that..
