Because this fight was taking place in some obscure third world country. HBO knows business and knows their viewers like their GGG live, not some taped bullshit.
I didn't bother to look up where the fight was mister Geography ACE! Don't push it or I will go find you in your third world Hamilton!
A jab? Really? Some absolutely no name can gets in the ring with a hyped fighter and goes down from an arm punch and a jab and that's totally legitimate? Unless Golovkin loads his gloves with cement blocks it is what it is. Guy was there to get his check and nothing else. Also what was with that asinine stoppage? Guys can't get wobbled anymore without the ref stopping it? He wasn't even knocked down or being hit while defenseless. He just got stunned.
I like golovkin, but he really needs to step up his level of opposition, if he doesn't want to be another farce like Bute and calzaghe
Andy Lee next???? Oh Lord, I'm a GGG fan, but this is crossing the line. Lee is an SUPER BUM! Why won't Kirkland take the fight?
Im a Big ggg fan, but my fuse has run short with him. I don't care he has to take a paycut to bring a top opponent in the ring with him, he has to do it.No more bums or hasbeen
That's What All of this "Ducking" Boils Down to, in REED's Opinion... GGG May Go Down as THE Greatest Fighter of All Times, but RIGHT NOW, he's NOT a Draw...It's EASY to Say "Martinez is Ducking him", But How Much has Martinez been OFFERED, in Comparison to How Much GGG's Cut would Be???... If GGG's REALLY The Goods, he Should Take SHORT Money to Face a LEGIT Guy...The Whole "They're Ducking Me, So I'll Feast on LESSER Guys" Routine has Gotten OLD... REED:mj:
Yep... If the Opposition @ 160 is GENUINELY Afraid of GGG, the Thing to Do is MOVE UP, as Opposed to Offering SMALLER Guys like Kirkland a Fight... REED:mj:
If You SAY So...1 of 2 @ Least ATTEMPTED to Fight Golovkin, the Other DIDN'T...Stevie Wonder Could Distinguish 1 from the Other... REED:shadow:
Dunno what his strategy was I didn't watch that bullshit but the recent scrub has beaten a top 50 mw. The scrub previous to him hasnt
If Golovkin has the amazing amateur pedigree an is supposed to be some amazing p4p fighter why wouldn't people want a big purse for fighting him? It's a dangerous fight. Seems like a load of trash. Pay up Kirkland and get a high profile fight going unless he's asking for 60/40 which I highly doubt.
Kirkland is a shitty foe for Golovin. Seriously. Ko1 Hbo knows they can pony up for some of the mw guys to face him but a Win over geale, Sturm or Murray won't boost stock much
