BoxRec

On May 16 in Inglewood, CA.

http://www.BS.com/gennady-golo ... -16--88457

Monroe Jr is an OK fight, thankfully Golovkin's active so I dont mind this one,Willie's been looking good lately but he won't last either

I think Wilie Monroe with his height and southpaw stance will give Gennady Golovkin problems for about the first three or four rounds as Monroe will look to try and keep Golovkin off with his southpaw jab and counter him as Golovkin comes forward. But Golovkin will target Monroe's lean body with a healthy amount of left hooks to the body off the jab to slow Monroe down and stops somewhere between rounds 7-10.

boxrec got this 5 star...really??
wladimir vs povetkin was 4 star
#inconsistent

Another waste of time.

ggg fights a guy with 000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 power...6 kos in 19 fights hahaha that paulie malignaggi kind of power...l.why, why why ......why cant somebody like quillonor lemieaux step the ring with ggg....why this sparring match

I think sitting around not fighting would be a greater waste of time for his career. Geale, Rubio, Murray, and Monroe over 10 months is respectable in my opinion.

Hopefully there is something bigger for GGG later in the year.

sorry....i like activness, but a dude with no power against ggg, sorry thats a sparring session. better he sowed a good sparring training session at youtube, than making this fight.

I mean fight korobov who at least got some heavy hands....or wait for the winner of quillin-lee, but dont do a paid sparring session with someone who got fether in his hands

Another career defining fight for the greatest fighter ever in any combat sport. Why move up and some competition when u got these jackoffs to fight.

Call DLH and ask why he is keeping Canelo and Lemieux away from GGG.

Korobov just got knocked out and isn't a big puncher anyway.

Why should GGG sit around not fighting rather than staying active, making money, and adding another win to his resume? He'll still have plenty of time to fight again this year given that the bout is only two months away. I think some people punish him for his activity.....

why?

because it is bullshi/()ing the puplic. I mean is it that hard to understand? c level should fight c level and b level vs be level and a level should fight a level and when there is no a level around, than they should fight b level.

and with the statemant you made about korobov not having power or losing, than it shows me you realy dont get the point.
everybody loses!! also, korobov is a strong build 14 ko in 24 fights guy, has okay power and only lost 1 time against an champion. monroe in the opposite is a c level guy with no power who has 0 business in the ring with ggg. i would not even let him in the ring against ndam.

Why aren't Canelo, Andrade, Lara, Ward, Froch, Dirrells moving up ?

ask ggg's peops why he's scared to fight the big boys at 168 instead of these clowns.
u say floyd is scared cuz he won't fight GGG a middleweight even tho floyd turned pro at feather....pac moved up like 8 divisions, bhop is kicking ass from middle to light heavy, the most overrated fighter rjj won titles from middle to heavy but the greatest fighter to ever compete in a combat sport ggg cant move up or down for big fights. he just stays put and fights 6ko's monroe. u r drinking the kool aid dude. we all dog Broner, myself included but he didn't get his ass whipped til he moved up from jl to welterweight. Do u know why these guys move up in weight????? Fame, Fortune and Greatness.

U just keep watching that shit. I like GGG but I am not watching any more of his fights until he fights somebody worth watching.

More high paid sparring.I have no problem with GGG staying busy.
But he eventually needs to find a challenge.

Korobov got knocked out in his last fight, which was also on HBO, and I think he needs to reestablish himself to have a case for being a better challenger than Monroe. Monroe has a lot to prove but he's young, on a solid winning streak, and in my opinion good enough to be fighting GGG given the circumstances. I don't see him being depicted as an excellent fighter who has a great chance of beating GGG, and people can easily put Monroe's name into Google, look at his record, and watch his fights online to draw their own conclusions about the bout.

Nothing would be a greater waste of time for GGG's career than not fighting.

I think Canelo got his ass dominated by Floyd and Canelo and Golden Boy r keeping him away.
Andrade is a new champ....1 defense looking to fight a name at JM cuz there r names at 154 not 160.
Ur right about Froch, there is nothing for him....check my post Ive saying he should retire if he doens't want to fight the top guys.
Ward has options at 168 plus he's been on the bench for a while now....he will be moving up to 175. I have no doubt.

Why would the Dirrells move up in weight Anthony just won the title and Andre is fighting for his 1st title???

Andre Dirrell is getting career high payday next, if he wins he's got a chance Groves which will bring money, slight chance of getting Froch and maybe Ward. He said he wanted Ward when they both had titles.

And Chep, next time you ramble about how good Wilder is keep in mind that his second best opponent has virtually the same KO percentage as Monroe

Chep is a boxing expert and he gets all of his predictions right.

i dont believe in staying active with boxing garbage, people pay money to watch a fight and not a total mismatch....

i believe in training and staying in shape and than boxing fights

He is training and staying in shape and having a good southpaw sparring partner. Nobody is forcing people to pay to watch his fight. However quite a few will, because they don't share your opinion.

Fighting 4 times a year is Gennady's choice, because fighting is his life. Besides, he needs whatever money he will get for this fight.
