Yeah he's gonna get $2.5 mil for this, Bek Bully been fighting at 168 so we'll see how his power carries at 175 vs Kovalev

It's what happens to alcoholics that need money. DAZN owes him a fight for taking the Canelo fight so quickly.

Do ya'll think that was an impressive GGG?
You can see that he’s not the Triple G of old. He’s a step slower and he may be missing a gear. Or that may be a new style to preserve his career. He’s always had defensive lapses, I never believed he was just letting going someone hit him for entertainment purposes. Sometimes he’s so offensive minded, he forgets about defense.

On the flip side, he still has the great jab and very heavy handed. His high boxing IQ was rarely spoke of. If you were teaching someone to be a puncher, I would tell them to watch GGG. He cuts the ring off better than anyone, great footwork. It’s the reason in the first fight with Canelo he was constantly able to get him to the ropes. In the 2nd fight, when Canelo was the aggressor, he never got GGG to the ropes.

Still a problem for anyone at 160 but can be beaten. I don’t think he can or wants to swim in deep water anymore.

I don't think this tall dude gotta chance, I think if he goes down before round 5 it makes eddie hearn look pretty bad. Dude seems tall and lanky and Canelo is a body shot expert.

In the end, the sides finalized a pay reduction of several million dollars for the Szeremeta matchup, and also agreed Friday’s fight won’t count as one of the six total bouts Golovkin is owed by DAZN. Four fights remain on the contract, and assuming he wins, as expected, talks will resume toward what Golovkin’s team hopes is a banner 2021 that returns the power puncher to the top of the sport.

that GGG card was not a bad watch outside of that trash ryder vs guy fight

GGG looked damned good against Szeremeta but you can tell age is setting on him

GGG's protege Akhmedov vs Gongora was fight of the night...wow
