My money is on 3g for the win. cant wait

Should be a very solid double header. I think Stevens is digging a monsterous hole being billed as some demolition machine and he's going to learn all about one, and one who will out skill him badly at first.

I am surprised on the quiet nature of usually vociferous boxing fans on this one. The card may not be stacked but the headliner should be explosive while it lasts. GGG may be the bigger puncher, and is certainly the better boxer, but even a couple decent clips from Stevens should provide the naysayers with some answers on Gennady's chin.

I'm with you on this one Beanz. I am stoked for this one. These are without a doubt the hardest punchers in the division. How can this not end in a brutal KO/TKO? Golovkin is the more skilled guy so he should get to Stevens but Stevens should answer at least one question about 3G. Golovkin does have an overall significant skills advantage and what were told a granite chin but I believe Stevens actually has more power in one single punch. But the difference between Golovkin's precision and Stevens' precison is far wider than the difference between Stevens' one punch power over Golovkin's one punch power. Golovkin KO3.

Yeah its a good night of boxing in general with the fights in england then new york later

Stevens has real talent and power but he's unproven against even a top ten contender.

GGG finally proved himself against a real contender last time out.

Gotta pick GGG by early stoppage. If he walks into that left hook tho all bets are off.

Its a little interesting. 3g is a few inches taller and Stevens has a 2 inch reach advantage. The taller fighter at times has the tendency to turn away from punches. Stevens is on a wing and a prayer. He has to approach this fight like a 4 rounder. He's not going to out box the man. Jessie Brinkley gave him a boxing lesson. Make sure you empty the bladder before the fight.

Evening all. If anybody has a stream for the Marquez Segura fight I'd greatly appreciate a pm.

I'm watching Afolabi batter Janik round the ring here and looking at the size and build of Afolabi and I'm wondering what the fuck Cleverly thinks he's doing by moving up to cruiser.

Is Perez the new Ramon Garbey or Castillo ? Mago has John D Jackson in his corner??? Didn't know that...switching my pick ;D

Is he looking for a quit ??? What was that?

Some awesome exchanges, nice fight! Mago is sneaking in uppercuts...Lampleys new word: Knockoutable.

Good scrap, fair play to the pair of them. No idea which way this is going to swing right now.

Magos left cheek looks busted and broken

The Russian would be target practice for Klitschko. Perez would be another grabfest.

Wlad ringside apparently, good fight I think, both are bringing the fight to the other

Roy Jones is high..."its a more skilled fight than Holyfield vs Bowe". Mago has that Arthur Abrahams jaw coming on

Broken jaw for sure.

They need to stop this

He really looked like that stool was permanent after 6th. He is turning into a Gargoyle

Perez needs to just let his hands go and try for the stoppage

Its starting to look like cruel and unusual punishment.

Props to the Russian. Giving his all.

Fuck off with that shit. Has he been warned?

Perez should get on the gas now.

Mago needs to go balls to the wall and count on his corner having his back...his heart is keeping him here alone

Suprised at this ref docking that quick

Nice comeback round.

Somewhere Wlad craddles the pillow and counts his millions

These two merit respect!

Perez won this fight. Anything else is criminal.

Do not call this a draw

They got it right. Bout muthafukkin time

I thought they were going to rob him when he got the point deduction for a first low blow.

Same and ignore the first 3/4's of the fight.

Mike wearing skinny jeans ???..I want that burned from my memory :-\

Alright nice timing just sat down and main event is on. Did Perez actually look good? The other guys face was brutal but I'd never seen him fight.
Would like to see an upset for some reason, Stevens does hit hard enough to make it happen although I expect him to get brutalized.

I'm loving the Hagler cap.

Stevens seems to have gotten some what under Golovkin skin. Wouldn't surprise me if Stevens doesn't see the end of the first
