Gennady-Golovkin_2604310b.jpg


Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, better known as Triple G, takes on Marco Antonio Rubio tonight at the StubHub Center in Carson, California... Where he has already SOLD OUT the venue at least a month ago. This is a pretty big deal, since Andre Ward, Sugar Shane, and De La Hoya have all fought here and NOT sold it out. They even had to get more seats, as well as SRO (standing room only) areas added.

Rubio failed to make weight yesterday, so he can't win the title if he wins the fight. This adds a little to the suspense of whether or not GGG will keep his undefeated and KO streak going, since Rubio is coming in bigger than he is supposed to be, and that he has already gone the distance with Chavez Jr.

He's already made a fan outta me. I can't wait till the top guys have no choice but to face him.

This fight is on regular HBO, btw.
 
i think this mofo is overrated

plus he hasnt fought any damn body

time will prove me correct!
 
I'm waiting for Cotto to step his punk ass up, and fight GGG. Until G faces some serious competition, I will remain skeptical. I will be watching tho....

Cotto aint going near him, and cotto cant be a punk cause dude done fought everyone he got a big money fight lined up with alvarez, plus cotto is really not a middleweight at all. GGG needs to move one weight class up for a big fight, you got ward, froch and chavez at 168

Two great fights where the favorites will face "live" underdogs. Pulling for the yardie but he sounds very confident, a little too confident for this huge step up with Nonito. I hope he prepares for the best version of Donaire and not the recently diminished version.

From what I've been reading, the WBC mandated that Cotto face the winner of GGG v Rubio. If what was reported is true, he will either fight GGG, or vacate the title. Him deciding the later, will solidify my comment of him being a punk. I guess we will see........

Arum is trying to set up Cotto/Canelo for next year. GGG wants to fight Mayweather (like everyone else).



Ward called out GGG but he says he doesn't want it.

I heard a Donaire interview and he doesn't seem too confident. He needs to get his mind right before he steps in the ring.

Man, Donaire gets on my got-damn nerves.

A fighter with all that natural ability, but NO love for the sport or desire to be the best.

I knew Rigondeaux was gon fuck him up after I watched the HBO "2 Days" special on him before the Mathebula fight, where he kept talking about how he never wanted to be a boxer but his family keeps pressuring him to continue fighting. Then, when his kid was born right before the Rigo fight and he was like "All I'm focused on is being a father right now", I was like, "Welp, one ass-whooping for Nonito, coming right up"

This dude needs to see a sports psychologist or something... Or retire..... Or SOMETHING.... Damn.

That attitude gets you fucked up. Just look at Victor Ortiz. If you don't want it walk away.

I read somewhere this week (ESPN, I think) that GGG says that he wants to fight the winner of Cotto-Canelo.... And that he plans to fight four times next year. After he wins tonight, he wants to fight in February, likely against Martin Murray. Then, he wants a PPV in the spring against a big name.

GGG expects a huge 2015

CARSON, Calif. -- Middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin fought four times in his breakout 2013 and hoped to do it again this year. But when his father died unexpectedly, Golovkin withdrew from an April fight, leaving him with only three appearances this year.

GGG knocked out Osumanu Adama in February, Daniel Geale in July and returns to make his 12th title defense against Marco Antonio Rubio (59-6-1, 51 KOs) on Saturday night (HBO, 10 ET/PT) at the sold-out StubHub Center.

But next year, Golovkin (30-0, 27 KOs), one of the busiest elite fighters in the sport, has designs on another four-fight year.

“Right now I am focused on Rubio. He’s a strong guy,” Golovkin said. “He is good experience for me. This is my first fight in California, so it’s a big step for me, a big deal for me. But I am ready for a unification fight. After this fight I hope so for a unification. I need Canelo [Alvarez]-[Miguel] Cotto first and then, of course, I want the winner. But [Julio Cesar] Chavez Jr., Andre Ward, Carl Froch. Bring me big fight.”

With a win, Golovkin is ticketed for a February return in Monte Carlo, perhaps against British contender Martin Murray. After that he wants a big pay-per-view fight.

Golovkin was supposed to face Chavez at super middleweight on HBO PPV in July. Golovkin agreed to terms, but Chavez backed out. Golovkin would love for the fight to be finalized.

With middleweight champion Cotto likely headed to a spring showdown with Alvarez, the winner would be an ideal opponent and a huge fight for GGG in the second half of next year.

K2 Promoter Tom Loeffler, who represents Golovkin, said he also has been in touch with Eddie Hearn, who promotes super middleweight titleholder Carl Froch, to gauge their interest. That’s a fight Loeffler said that Golovkin would happily travel to Froch’s turf in England for and also fight him at 168 pounds.

Another name that interests Golovkin is super middleweight champion Andre Ward, although he is inactive with no return on the horizon. Ward is going on a year of inactivity while embroiled in a promotional contract dispute.

“If Gennady fought Canelo, Chavez, Cotto, Froch it would be phenomenal,” Loeffler said. “Those are really big fights. People can’t say Gennady doesn't bring a reward. He's still a big risk but he brings a lot of interest and a lot money with him now that HBO has committed their financial support to him. So if everything goes the right way on Saturday we're looking for a huge 2015. I'm convinced there is nobody at 160 pounds who can last 12 rounds with him.”

Golovkin said he won’t be picky about his opponents. He just wants something huge.

“I feel great. Four times [in 2015]. It is my time,” he said. “Next year will be big for me and my team. Right now, I focus on Rubio. In the future, I am ready for anyone. I waited a long time. I want big, big fights with superstars. It doesn’t matter who. Cotto, Canelo, Chavez Jr., Froch. It doesn’t matter. I want big fights for me and my fans. I want great show.”

Walters jabbed dude to death. Donaire head is not in the game anymore. Probably too much pressure to be the next big filipina superstar.
