Gennady Golovkin vs. Marco Antonio Rubio

[Freedom]

This is just one month from today.

Excellent co-feature: Donaire vs. Walters.

Thought it was sooner actually, that co main really makes it a must watch card. I don't see Rubio giving Golovkin serious trouble but he is solid and will come to fight. Thinking Waters has a coming out party and beats Donaire in style on the undercard, should be good.

GGG will massacre Rubio. It will be brutal. Rubio is slow and limited compared to Golovkin.

He is slow but he's also a veteran with some tricks up his sleeve and powerful and most guys he fights say he is deceptively awkward. He's a legitimate top ten middleweight. I fully expect GGG to beat him up over some rounds. While I want GGG to move up in weight because I think he's shown all he needs to at middleweight--we all know he's the best in the division--I also can see Andrade beating Korobov and a unification fight with GGG gaining traction in the public's eye.

But who cares? Why validate mediocre fights with belts. We say they are meaningless right until they serve a purpose in our argument. MW is a wasteland and has been for 20 years. The fights are at 168.

GGG destroys him like he does everyone else. GGG is the real thing and one of the best fighters out there. Would love to see him destroy Canelo n Cotto n move up to 168 for Ward.

Arguably I think this is Golovkins most well rounded and on paper toughest opponent since he broke onto the scene. Not sure if that says less about Golovkin or more about Rubio. But doesn't matter, Golovkin should have him shelled up with body work ala Pavlik fight and score a wide win.
