Champ Golovkin will fight Geale on July 26 at MSG
It has been confirmed.
And now he has been elevated to super champion
World Boxing News - Golovkin elevated to ‘super’ champion status for Geale clash
Super champ is such bull shit. So someone can become champ while avoiding Golovkin. Same thing done to allow people to avoid Rigo
This is a good fight. Not great, but good. I'm looking forward to it.
Hard to see Geale not ending up a punching bag though down the stretch.
Yep...and GG can do some avoiding of his own as "superchamp"Quote:

He's avoiding nobody and nobody is avoiding him.Quote:

forgot about that corpse.
What a shit fight.. fuckin pussy
Its a trip. It looks like it was Golovkin camp who looked for options away from the newly named "mandatory" Jarrod Fletcher. I think they were thinking what a network would air and HBO would once again leave Fletcher v Golovkin in the basement to be unseen. Enter Geale.Quote:

Golovkin v Jacobs anyone :juggle:
Flecther was KOd in a few by Billy Joe Saunders. GGG stops him in 1. Pointless fight. Jacob v GGG is a good fight.Quote:

Jacob as a good opponent might be a bit of a stretch, more like passable. Middleweight is relatively bad right now there's no reason any champ should be fighting guys outside the top 10.Quote:

Geale is in the top 5 in all 4 organisations rankings, Jacob is top 5 in all 4 also, Fletcher is 2nd in WBA and top 15 in the rest. I think all 3 are legit, but Fletcher by far would be too easy for GGG.Quote:

I agree the Geale fight is a far better fight than Fletcher. I just had no idea that Jacobs was that highly ranked by the sanctioning bodies. He's only had one top flight fight against Pirog and he was quickly KOed. I had looked over various other rankings like(I apologize for mentioning these clowns) ESPNs rankings and a few websites fan rankings and he was outside the top 10. I'm not judging GGG harshly, I really like the Geale fight. I just haven't seen Jacobs prove he's ready yet by beating top opposition. I'll look into it further.Quote:

Okay, I just looked through Jacobs opponents since Pirog destroyed him on boxrec(who has Jacobs as #25 in the world at Middleweight BTW) and it is not impressive. So I went back and watched the Pirog fight again because I don't think you learn much against weak competition. Jacobs might have taken a couple rounds but at no point was he winning the fight. Pirog was in complete control throughout and it was just a when will Pirog knock him out type fight. I see absolutely nothing that suggests he'd be able to last against GGG. I realize GGG and Pirog fight completely different and GGGs more conventional approach may lead to greater success for Jacobs but I firmly believe he doesn't see the championship rounds. His defense just isn't there.
I agree but I think Jacobs is good enough to get a shot at a title. I just think he'll be going for Quillin ahead of GGG.Quote:

Well, they were before the gbp meltdown at least?!
The bad part is the politicking and Fletcher being a 'mandatory', the good part is at things are in motion and Golovkins people are actually interested in his fights being aired in the U.S this time around.
Should be an exciting match
Daniel Geale is the #2 ranked middleweight in the world by Ring Magazine.
However, Sam Soliman is the #4 ranked middleweight in the world by Ring Magazine.
So maybe I shouldn't put too much bank into their rankings.
Still feel that Geale is a very tough, wily, proven commodity who will present a challenge to GGG early.
On a random note its mind boggling to me they have Bradley ranked top 5 p4p. I think p4p is mostly done for marketing and has no clear definition but that whack.Quote:

Have you seen Jacobs fight lately?...it doesn't seem like you have.Quote:
