Orlando Salido vs. "Mikey" Garcia - Saturday night fight/chat thread

GGG seems massively overrated on this forum. He is good, but he isn't the god he's been made out to be. I think Sergio would be too smart for him. I think Quillin would give him trouble too.

This is one where it may say as much about Rosado as it does about Golovkin right now. He has no imagination in there and little head movement at all. I think Martinez pelays him open.

Well it was hard too tell if Golovkin closed the distance well or if Rosado just didn't know how to fight at distance. I think it was the latter. I need to see him again, preferably against a natural Middleweight who can punch.

Martinez would outclass Golovkin for a time, but I wouldn't put any money on Martinez' chin holding up once he got hit.

He has great ring smarts, power in both hands, and is hard to hit. His amateur pedigree is obvious and has been very successfully converted into the skills that make a very good pro. He would demolish Sergio and melt kid chocolate. Until he is given the chance to prove it, then it is all conjecture but I don't see any other Middleweights on planet earth as well rounded, single minded,adaptable or dangerous as GGG. He the man.

I'm not so sure about Martinez or Gonzalez but I agree with everything else you said.
GGG did well against Rosado, a game, tough, quick fighter who ignored all the hype about GGG and came to win.
Styles make fights and for a few rounds Rosado's had GGG looking less than perfect. Golovkin stayed calm and pounded on Rosado until his corner threw in the towel.
GGG impressed me more with this difficult fight than if it had been over within 30 seconds.
