Chavez-GGG deal getting close.. Jr is very confident

[FinitoElDinamita]

At the Forum! GGG should have asked for a CW but that's cool that he's willing to step up to 168 for this bout..

As long as this leads to a showdown with Ward..

Oh btw, LOL @ those who put so much stock into their sparring match.. it's sparring and it was obvious that chavez was working on something else besides offense..

Im not saying chavez is going to win but never underestimate size advantages.. JR has the size and the chin and he actually has a pulse and will punch back unlike the other guys that were involved in GGfakes' s bum tour..

Chavez will have the crowd too

[Dark Lord Al]

This is a good match , power v chin.

[powerpuncher]

ggg should win this with ease

I think he will win also , however Chavez will push him for sure.

i dont think so. ggg knows how to use angles well while chavez really only knows how to fight one way. ggg will fight smart and win it easily.

Chavez isn't remotely good. All he is is big giving him a good chin. This fight is a disappointment. But you can't blame fighters for chasing the money.

[Hulk]

Hope GGG beats his ass. Baby Huey is BIG and TOUGH though.

He ll probably survive late into the fight.

[Violent Demise]

The key will be Golovkin's power. If it moves up with him to Super Middleweight than he should win. Chavez is gonna come forward. So he needs to get Chavez's respect. If he doesn't than he loses. Golovkin isn't as effective fighting backwards.

[FinitoElDinamita]

Ggg isn't fighting a helper at a construction site or a corpse for a change so let's see wsup. Its still a semi cherrypick but its a tolerable one

And btw, yes chaves does have the better resume. Jr fought the main man in Martinez while ggfake fought part time hyenna handlers like adama.

Judging by the fighters, I think ref is going to play a big role in this one. Sergios speed and style neutralized much Chavez Jr's. bullish style and speed. GGG not being as fleet-footed and fighting a generally slower pace means he will be hard pressed to Chavez at bay, especially because the swarm is Jr's only chance to win. Stay close, take the leverage off Golovkin's shots and hammer away till he crumbles.

This fight may come down to how gritty Golovkin can get because this won't be a gentleman's match and GGG's team can only do so much to lobby to make sure their fighter gets a fair shake. From the judges to the ref, they may be forced to make concessions to keep the big money fight on.

Chavez looked great in his last fight but he was fighting Vera. If Chavez has his heart, weight and training in check it may be a good fight. Something tells me Chavez will buy weight for this fight and avoid the scale on fight night.

I think GGG win a tough, interesting fight. My biggest hope is we get to see Senior cry after his son gets beat. I would love to see him knock GGG down in the ninth with thirty seconds left and GGG gets up by the seven count. When he did that to Sergio I thought his father was going to have a coronary, it was fantastic. God I love boxing

Ross the fact that you and Finito can rate someone as clueless as Fury and not see the obvious apparent quality in the work of Golovkin undermines both your arguments. It just comes across as hate or trying too hard to come across as some kind of guru as though everyone else is just jumping on a bandwagon. GGG has great ring IQ, watch his feet, look at his movement. The guy is patient, he wont be rushed, he goes go the body like someone on a chain gang breaking rocks. He has been avoided by all the other Middleweights and even though he is already small at that weight the guy is willing to move up and fight someone who will provably come in at light heavy come fight night. Styles make fights but the fact remains that Martinez did not snap Macklin like a twiglet.

Im not saying hes not a good middle weight. His advantages wont transfer up a weight. Even against Chavez jr

Just remember what a monster everyone thought Abraham was. He was one of the favourites in the super six. He's looked crap against every super middle he's fought. Its the strength difference. Its physics. Its not trying to be a guru its just a fact that those bigger fighters will be a lot stronger than him.
