Thread: Gennady Golovkin v. Lujuan Simon Tonight

There are whisperings that Golovkin is the truth at middleweight even though he looks more like a watchmaker than a boxer . Allegedly, he took Saul Alvarez to school in sparring on multiple occasions. He is the only person to have stopped Kassim Ouma. He has a decorated amateur background. As an amatuer, he beat Andre Dirrell, Matvey Korobov, Andy Lee, Yordaignes Despaigne and Lucian Bute. Tonight, he takes on rugged, but beatable, Lujuan Simon, Philadelphia, PA. Simon has lost everytime he has stepped up: Abraham and Sylvester beat him. Yet, he is a solid test at this stage of Golovkin's career. Is Golovkin Sturm's mandatory or does Sturm not have mandatories as a Super Champion? If he is Sturm's mandatory, given Sturm's recent form, that could be Golovkin's coming out party.

Here are Simon and Golovkin at the weigh in:

Boxing - Golovkin, Simon make weight; bout will now also be for the IBO middleweight title

Maybe someone can get me a stream for this fight tonight?

After Sturm's showing against Murray, Pirog said Golovkin beats Sturm too. What are the rules for a Super Champion in terms of mandatories? Bilbo?

I've seen Golovkin a couple of times. Looks very tough indeed. Anyone know what time this kicks off. Wouldn't mind watching msyelf!?

Wow, well that was impressive!

1st round KO, that's the first prediction of the week wrong.

Damn it! Really? I couldn't get out of work in time for a first round KO.

That's what fightnews says, big left hooks ends it in the first.

Nice counter-left hook. Golovkin seems to have the whole package.
