Gennady Golovkin v Chris Eubank Jr deal close - promoter

Middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin is closing in on a deal to fight Britain's Chris Eubank Jr, his promoter says.

Tom Loeffler told the Associated Press that both camps were "working on finalising details".

The fight would take place in England in September, he added.

WBC, WBA and IBF champion Golovkin, 34, has won all of his 35 fights while Brighton's Eubank Jr, 26, has lost just one of his 24 fights.

He successfully defended his British middleweight title for the first time last week, with a fourth-round stoppage of the previously unbeaten Tom Doran.

I'm backing eubank Jr to win this one he's 26 now and all the man he's going to be and he's got the balls to pull this off, he's fearless and will show GGG no respect.

[Gandalf]

I disagree. I think Eubank has no chance. He will be Lacy'ed or Eubank'ed like his dad.

Its a fantastic fight for Eubank Jr, its better than a Mayweather fight! Win lose or draw he's fought the best around, and to be honest a loss to GGG is nothing to be ashamed of (if it happens), great matchmaking and hopefully a great fight. Boxers should be fighting, and not laying around for easy makeweight fights until they get a title shot against some closeted prima donna who happens to have some dodgy alphabet merchants version of a title. Bloody good luck to him, and well managed by his people (probably dad included).

If he is to fight Golovkin then hats off to him. That's a fantastic thing. I just don't think it will be that competitive though. That's not so much a slur on Eubank, but more that I think Golovkin is that good whence my reference to being Lacy'ed and Eubank'ed. I think Golovkin has the sublimity of a Calzaghe and I want to see him challenged and have his prime drawn out and put on show. I want to see him put on his bum and get up and dominate. Maketh the legend. Maketh the legend. A Eubank is always a good addition to such a path.

Any fight is better than a Mayweather fight.

Fair play to Eubank for pushing for this fight the kid has the heart of a Lion and really believes he can win this.
Golovkin just hits so fucking hard that it's virtually impossible to see Eubank handling it for 12 rounds but having said that Eubank looks to have his dads Chin and will which means he is right in this fight.
This is gonna be a brutal BRUTAL fight.
One thing Eubank cannot do is fuck about for 5-6 rounds like he did against Saunders and needs to go straight after Golovkin.

Really hope this get's made as it's a real fight this one and potentially FOTY

It will be cracking viewing on prime time channel 5.

GGG will dismantle him can't see Jr lasting the distance.
I don't think Eubank is the man to defeat GGG.

[Primo Carnera]

I don't buy into this myth that Eubank beats everyone GGG has beat. What is that based on?
I don't think he beats Lemieux, Murray, Stevens, maybe not Geale, maybe not Matthew Macklin ffs!
And there's been a lot of missed "deadlines" for this fight to happen.
The hype machine has gone into overdrive yet again.

[Dark Lord Al]

When I said classic , I was talking from a personal view.
GGG will likely punish Eubank Jr , that for me is classic however Jr has shown he is fearless so he has as much chance as anybody GGG has fought.

Golovkin-Eubank: Hearn Explains Why Deal is Not Finalized, Yet - Boxing News

I said in an earlier post about the missed deadlines and delays. Look at this logically, there can only be 1 reason this fight has not been finalized, and that is that team Eubank are holding it up , probably by asking too much money.
If you are the challenger, and you want , Arguably, one of the best World Champions out there to come to your home to fight you, then naturally you need to take the short end of the wedge, and quite considerably so.
Look at Brook v Vargas for example. Vargas is coming over, and is getting more than Brook. that's the stumbling block , but that's the way it is.
Now you might say "GGG is pricing himself out of it", well ok, maybe so, but who is to say what price he should or shouldn't demand to defend his titles in the challenger's own back yard? he has every right to demand whatever he wants, and if they can't agree that, move on. After all, HE IS THE CHAMPION!

David has beaten no one to right home about and Murray has fallen short of top guys he has fought but some how Sr can not beat those guys holy shit dude. I my underrated the comp some what but you just overrated them more then anything i have seen the mw division a waste land.
