The most explosive fight in years - Golovkin v Lemieux

[Spicoli]

Really, for all the pin point punching..Golovkin is pretty hittable after 4 or so.

Golovkin's jab is dynamite man. That's a 345-5 jab. You can only get past that occasionally when Golovkin has determined that you're not much of a threat if you do.

I'd love to see Golovkin - Ward. I don't think there's any chance it happens in the forseeable but that's the only fight that either of them currently face a proper challenge.

The fact that he does coast a bit bothers me. He did it with Monroe last out, ever so slightly he looks bored and gives up that head. For all the talk Ward doesn't 'act' like Golovkin is on his radar. Golovkin goes for blown up names and headliners below and Ward goes up for blown up journeymen above.

Wonder if face first but willing Johnson was on undercard for a reason..

It's a struggle to see Johnson as a PPV-worth opponent but then again who the hell else do they have for Golovkin to fight?

Ward is supposed to be currently negotiating a multifight deal with HBO that includes a fight with Kovalev this time next year. Kovalev's promoter is saying that if Kovalev wins in January he gets Ward next.

If Ward does manage to beat Kovalev, and I'm hoping he gets sparked, I'd make him favourite over Golovkin. They're both excellent boxers with their own styles but Ward would be so much bigger.
