damn i remember this fight and Wade looked bad in that one too. :mjlol:

Mexican style won't be able to carry this nikka.


thats the thing wade just happened to be next in line somehow since tureano (who would have gave a much better fight and challenge) went down with injury

Tureano would have been an interesting fight. He still isn't on GGG's level, but he has earned his way into being a top 10 ish MW and as far as phony mandatory rankings was a quality opponent.

Yeah Wade isn't a good opponent, let there be no confusion, #GGGoodBoys are not propping him up. But for those who play the reality game know that GGG offered to fight Canelo and Saunders first was turned down, then agreed to fight Johnson to keep his belt (the IBF actually enforces their rules, see the Fury situation), and his injury forced Wade into the spot. :yeshrug:

I am still interesting in watching it. GGG always puts on a show and love him or hate it, people have to admit he is entertaining to watch. Plus when it comes to sports I definitely am a don't count your chickens before they hatch fan. Sure GGG should win easily, but it isnt reality until it happens. That's what being a lifelong Blazer fan teaches you. Lol. :to:

he looked a little drawn to me
He was heavier than GGG all through the camp weigh-ins. He looked a little drawn, definitely lacking muscular definition (but I don't know how he typically looks).
GGG looked good.

Both Arroyo and Chocolatito looked good. Chocolatito is a little dude.

Wade seemed a lil too relax.
I agreed. Seemed relaxed or nervous, I couldn't tell.

Maybe relaxed, saw this and he definitely is talking with confidence.
Dominic Wade: I'm a thug...I might break Golovkin's face

Wade on being on the big stage for the first time:
"I'm taking it pretty good, man. I've been working you know, so ain't nothin' new."

On what makes him different from past Golovkin opponents who were scared of his power:
"I'm me, I'm a thug..."

On his first opportunity to fight for a middleweight championship:
"It's beautiful, I'm ain't gonna get all into the hype right now. When they say 'and new,' that's when I go..."

On his own power that he's bringing into the fight:
"A lot of strength, a lot of power, a lot of twist into it. I'm tellin' you, it's gonna work...I might break his face."

On sizing up Golovkin when he saw him in person:
"He ain't too much bigger, I'm longer than him and everything. Look [showing his fists to the camera], that's what gonna do it right there. These ain't little."
