My money is on 3g for the win. cant wait

Should be a very solid double header. I think Stevens is digging a monsterous hole being billed as some demolition machine and he's going to learn all about one, and one who will out skill him badly at first.

[Beanz]

I am surprised on the quiet nature of usually vociferous boxing fans on this one. The card may not be stacked but the headliner should be explosive while it lasts. GGG may be the bigger puncher, and is certainly the better boxer, but even a couple decent clips from Stevens should provide the naysayers with some answers on Gennady's chin.

I'm with you on this one Beanz. I am stoked for this one. These are without a doubt the hardest punchers in the division. How can this not end in a brutal KO/TKO? Golovkin is the more skilled guy so he should get to Stevens but Stevens should answer at least one question about 3G. Golovkin does have an overall significant skills advantage and what were told a granite chin but I believe Stevens actually has more power in one single punch. But the difference between Golovkin's precision and Stevens' precison is far wider than the difference between Stevens' one punch power over Golovkin's one punch power. Golovkin KO3.
