I think he is somehow related to Willie 'The Worm' and he out-slicked Hagler.
I've never seen Monroe, decent record and seems to be on a little run, if he really is a slick lefty with some craft it could be interesting? His only loss is a SD to Darnell Boone a few years ago, which is far from shameful at that time. Was just after Boone had finished icing Stevenson and flooring Kovalev in anyone’s fight, so Monroe basically fared as well as those two guys with about the same amount of fights, and must have been fighting at 168 at least? I'm sure if I'd seen him I wouldn't be selling this lol, read he is something like a 45-1 underdog and usually people who compile the odds have watched the guys fight;D
good point Grey. this guy is a real slick stir and has just come off three consecutive wins in which he cannot be hit at all by his opponent. He will drain triple G the same way that Jimmy young drained George Foreman and then go for the kill
We were waiting for your crazy prediction, one day you may get it right. :)
I don't see Monroe winning but I also don't think ggg will stop Monroe
Hmn, so he is pretty good then? Just read that he is actually the nephew of Willie the worm who beat Hagler, would be a cool story if he did well here.Quote:

He just reached the ESPN2 level so I don't think he is ready to say the least.
GGG may find it hard to find the big fights, but he is a active Champion not one of theses I may
have 2 fights in 12 months champs.
Monroe does not have a hope.
10/1 on ggg ud.Quote:

I dont think he has the power to make Golovkin think twice about just walking in. Maybe, who knows, stranger things have happened. Didnt like the sunglasses at the weigh in though. Projects a lack of confidence.
Lol. I'm hoping he's right this time.Quote:

I'm not feeling the excitement either, but I will be watching.Quote:

To be fair though Mike Tyson was an attraction and the money involved forced the best in the division to face him so he could become unified.
I dont think Golovkin is exciting enough to ever be that big of an attraction. He can criticise Mayweathers style and say he wants to be exciting but hes not, hes methodical not exciting.
Agree with you on that.Quote:

Kovalev is definitely more exciting to watch than GGG. His slight chin vulnerabilites add to the excitement, and hes a bad motherfuka.Quote:

I've only seen a few of his fights on YouTube he's seems pretty good but ggg is on another level to anyone he's been in with so time will tell.Quote:

Wouldn't we have heard more about the fight if he was a genuine threat?
What time does the main event start?
I don't think Monroe will win, but I see several people are predicting an upset tonight:
Why Willie Monroe Jr will upset Gennady Golovkin and change the current landscape of boxing
This is what im getting at about Golovkin not being exciting. Hes workmanlike but no one gets excited when hes fighting.Quote:

No one is going to beat Golovkin with their back to the ropes and that's exactly where Monroe will inevitably end up.
When are we ready to rumble ???
I guess this is the fight thread then?
I watched Monroe in that ESPN tournament last year. He was impressive.
I wish I can have that physique...
Oh yeah...... Monroe is really exposing GGG so far.
:rolleyes:
Yeap, just watched the replay when I got home from work. He's just the real deal. I can't think of anyone other than Brock that can put him down.
Corvette can. :lickish:Quote:

GGG won again as expected but give Willie Monroe his dues . He gave GGG a fight while it lasted. It looked like it was over in round 2 but give Willie his due he fought back & went toe to toe for a while. I think he gave GGG his toughest test yet. At least Willie has the cojones to get in there with GGG where are the other top 160 pounders??
Step up guys
