Anyone in the UK gonna watch GGG vs. Rolls?

Any chance of an upset like we just saw?

A very safe fight against someone who has fought no one of note.

I'll record it for something to watch on Sunday morning if Sky show it, but as you say nothing on the listings at the minute.

I’m guessing cuz it’s DAZN, it’s likely gonna be Sky. I’ll keep a look out later this week.

The 37-year-old Golovkin officially weighed in at 163 pounds for his 12-round super middleweight match versus Steve Rolls on Saturday night at Madison Square Garden. The contracted maximum for their fight is 164 pounds, halfway between the middleweight and super middleweight limits.

Toronto’s Rolls stepped on the New York State Athletic Commission’s scale at 163½ pounds at Madison Square Garden.

Nikita Ababiy blasted Juan Francisco Barajas to the body Saturday night.

All it took was one vicious left hook from the hard-hitting Ababiy to send his previously unbeaten opponent to the canvas just 29 seconds into their scheduled four-round super middleweight match at Madison Square Garden. That temporarily paralyzing punch left Barajas rolling around, writhing in pain.

Barajas attempted to get up once referee Shawn Clark’s count reached eight, but he quickly went back down to his knees. Clark promptly stopped their fight 41 seconds into the first round on the Gennadiy Golovkin-Steve Rolls undercard.

The first fight on the card was canceled because Jordan Morales (3-7, 2 KOs), of Sunbury, Pennsylvania, did not meet the New York State Athletic Commission’s requirements for licensure.

The opponent Morales was scheduled to fight, Johnathan Arroyo, entered the ring anyway Saturday night to address his fans that bought tickets to watch him fight. The 32-year-old Arroyo (3-0-1, 1 KOs) is from Brentwood, New York, on Long Island.
