Re: MW Season Week 12 World Championships
Golovkin scores two KD's over Burley.....beats him like he owes him money.....and then receives the "GBP SPECIAL" decision.
We all know what happened here....
Golovkin....the Peoples champion!!!

Re: MW Season Week 12 World Championships
Kudos to Holman Williams for a great fight, and being the first person who was good enough to hold Nino Benvenuti to a draw. Nobody's good enough to beat Nino, but Holman sure gave it a hell of a try.
Re: MW Season Week 12 World Championships
Robinson/Walker seemed due to just have close fights. I could easily see Walker getting the nod here. Round 8 was a killer round for Robinson. I don't know why Robinson has done next to nothing the last two fights for the first half, just to turn it on late.
Re: MW Season Week 12 World Championships
Ouch! What a bruising encounter from Hagler and Monzon.
I expected it to be very close, I think that it always would be between them - they are so evenly matched, so a Split Decision result does seem perfectly reasonable.
My only grievance is that by the end-of-round scores, Monzon won 8 rounds, Hagler won 7...
I'd love to seem them go at it again.

Re: MW Season Week 12 World Championships
the only fight where both fighters were in top form was Robinson vs Walker
Monzon came in under trained
Williams came in under trained
Burley was under trained and Golovkin over trained
things could very well be different in rematches
