Gennady Golovkin vs. Grzegorz Proksa Saturday night fight thread

[ruthless rocco]

Dzinziruk's only hope seems to be trying to tire gonzales out...but he isn't moving enough
or applying enough pressure

[armin]

I'm sorry. I must be watchin a diffrent fight I have dzin well in this fight and just took the eighth for me and got it four a piece

[Spicoli]

Why not enforce a much more telling penalty on the actual fight itself, rather than the purse and politics. Whos his promoter btw?

I say dock him a point right at the first bell, no doubt. Its not 'I couldn't make weight'...its 'I don't want to be bothered'. Guys like this actually planned to fight with more weight, while the opponent has to force it on in under a day just to keep up and make scratch.

Kennedy McKinney and Marco A. Barrera want their Boxing After Dark back

It has to impact them immediatly and force a real cost. Guys have to work harder, labor and force issue, bit of a catch 22 really and an actual price.

Might be cynical and I know part of purse is more than an annual income for some...but I don't put it passed some promoters, camps etc to figure it in now in name of 'showcase' and advantage...insurance. I don't know

[armin]

I got it 5-4 dzin the fat slob wouldn't have a chance if he wasn't twnety pounds heavier

[armin]

Six five dzin or 7 4 dzin definitely got him ahead tho

[ruthless rocco]

it's sad when a jab is called "a good left hand" in the 12 round of a fight.

[Spicoli]

I give it Dzin on principle and being sharper and cleaner. Gonzalez doesn't care.

[Spicoli]

If they rematch I'm shooting my TV

Spicoli has a way with words, and I agree, Gonzalez vs Dzinziruk was an ugly affair, one I wouldn't want to see again unless Gonzalez got serious and decided to come in on weight an in shape!

Proska vs Goloukin was much better! Proska is an awkward guy to fight, jumping in and out with straight and looping punches and he's tough too! Somebody should tell him to stay off the ropes, especially in front of a puncher, he was taking great body shots on both sides!
Goloukin impressed me by staying calm and concentrating on what he knew would work, applying pressure, working the body and head, plus keeping Proska's back to the ropes. He has two belts but I would not throw him in with the big dogs they were talking about, yet.

[Beanz]

Golovkin was very good. He was a great amateur, he knocked out Bute and beat Andy Lee and Andre Direll on Points. 16 of his first 19 fights as a pro were won by knockout, the guy is special. He has the power to trouble Pirog, Martinez, JCC Jr ,Sturm or Geale. Great skills, his short punches are nasty, Proska was smarting and that guy is hard, and GG's power punches betray his size he could fell a SMW. Well impressed.

[armin]

Dzin took that fight for me

[armin]

Watch it be 110-118 or some nonsense
