GGG is lined up for a fight late March

[QballLobo]

Didn’t GGG already confirm this over a month ago?
But hey this guy is not on house arrest as far as I know and has been an active fighter unlike Rolls so this is a step up from his usual bums he fights.

I swear i don't even get hyped for upcoming G fights nomore. Cuz 50/50 chance it will be vs a can

GGG's last 7 fights have been with Canelo, Canelo, Sergei, Jacobs, Brook, and then Rolls and Vanes (on short notice)...like wut...I doubt anyone has had a tougher 7 fight stretch than that.

This fight was not ordered by the IBF so let's get that out the way. GGG can fight whoever he wants next he chose this fight not IBF. He doesn't have to wait to go into a big fight or get a mandatory out the way early to get a big fight. At his age he shouldn't even want to waste any fights. He could go directly into a big fight now by just fighting any of the top guys who are like him signed with Hearn and on DAZN all those top guys are calling him out and are available right now. So this excuse well it's a mandatory is lie it's not ordered and he technically could fight big fights right now. And if and when the IBF does get around to order a mandatory he can side step it by fighting a unification. If he took big fights and unifications by the time he would actually have to fight this bum mandatory it would be 2021 when GGG is retired if not he could vacate because he would have another belt if he unified or move up to 168.

DAZN has wanted and still wants the Canelo-GGG trilogy...they gave GGG Rolls for his first fight, expecting him to look good/get the KO before the Canelo fight in the fall...Canelo balked and said GGG needed a belt, so they lined up the SD fight, and got GGG the belt (in a great/tough fight).

This guy Kamil gives GGG a stay busy/showcase fight were he should look good/get the KO, and at worst should go 12 rounds, in which case GGG will get the nod regardless.

DAZN would want the showcase fight/low risk fight like this before they hopefully can get the trilogy with Canelo in the fall.

If Canelo finds a way out of that 3rd fight again, it will be interesting to see then which direction DAZN and GGG go...if they can't get a Canelo fight for GGG, it appears the contract GGG signed would have been a major coup for him.

Happy he is at least getting paid at the tail end of his career regardless...he has always seemed to get bare minimum credit by many posters (on here at least) so may as well get paid if people aren't going to give ya much credit regardless.

I personally would like to see GGG not wait on Canelo anymore...but I think DAZN here pretty clearly is calling the shots on GGG's fights so far...GGG-Canelo 3 is/was their big coup de grace...they probably think (or at least hoped/thought) that the trilogy would really drive subs and help to put them on the map.

Canelo is the big dog so he still more or less calls his own shots so far with DAZN, but GGG is getting paid way too much so I'm pretty sure he is just taking whatever fights DAZN wants right now.

And until they get Canelo-GGG 3 DAZN will want to maneuver very carefully with GGG and his career...too much at risk if he catches at L, looks really bad (and after the Derevy fight, they probably want a look good performance from him since that was a tough fight).

GGG's last 7 fights have been with Canelo, Canelo, Sergei, Jacobs, Brook, and then Rolls and Vanes (on short notice)...like wut...I doubt anyone has had a tougher 7 fight stretch than that.

Brook was welterweight moving up 2 weights. He had to fight Sergi because it was his easiest path to a belt (turned down title shots from Andrade and Charlo so fought Sergi for a vacant belt),. Rolls and Vanes are disgraceful mismatches. Let's call this for what it is. He looked horrible and most feel he lost to Sergi and he wants another Steve Rolls, Vanes bum easy opponent to trick his fans into thinking he's still a killer. He's a hypocrite begging for a 3rd fight, second rematch with Canelo when he refuses to give Sergi or Jacobs even 1 rematch despite fans thinking he lost both those fights Now fighting a bum who doesn't even have a punchers chance a guy with only 5 career KO'S who nobody has in their top rankings at 160. His only definitive non controversial wins in that stretch are Brook, Vanes and Rolls.

This trash isn't about DAZN They wanted GGG to fight Andrade not Rolls Andrade confirmed this. And DAZN wasn't around when GGG fought Vanes and the rest of the bums in his career. IBF didn't order this fight and neither did DAZN. GGG has total control of his career and wants easy fights to try and back his way into canelo fights. He did with Vanes, tried to do it last year with Rolls and is back again ducking Dervy rematch and all the rest of the Hearn/DAZN fighters who are available right now to fight instead praying he can back his way into a 3rd Canelo fight

Sorry I mistook you for a reasonable person for a moment.

T GGG has total control of his career and wants easy fights to try and back his way into canelo fights. He did with Vanes,

Huh...he only fought Vanes because Canelo pissed dirty...and Canelo's team didn't even want GGG to fight at all on that date, instead wanting him to wait until September to fight Canelo when Nelo's suspension was up.

Is Golovkin the only one obligated to give people rematches for close fights? I didn't see these same people give Canelo **** for not rematching Trout or Lara. I don't see people asking Jacobs to rematch Sulecki or Derev, or Derev rematching Culcay, as those were all close fights as well. I agree, I think Golovkin should give Jacobs or Derev a rematch if he's not fighting a top guy, but it's funny to see some give him **** for doing exactly as others are doing.
