[Dr Dre's ProductionSkills]

How can nikkas not see this shyt gone be fun to watch bruh?

guaranteed knockouts...

its bascially a better version of the last time those two guys fought on at the forum.. except the opponents are better..

in the building... ohh wee...

 

[Dr Dre's ProductionSkills]

If this is on ppv and for 50 dollars then jennings vs wilder should be going for 60+ on ppv but it will be on regular showtime most likely

that shyt aint selling out the garden... not even the small venue...

there is demand not so much for this fight but for GGG... and lemioux is basically heavy handed and its gonna get killed but is gonna be a war for the 2 rounds it lasts...

chocolatio is just a bonus..

GGG selling out venues ON BOTH COASTS.... and not VEGAS CASINO VENUES.. .

 

[patscorpio]

Hell, even Holyfield moved up to Heavyweight because of how dominant he was at Cruiserweight.

Evander Holyfield moved up to heavyweight BUT not before he collected ALL belts...we dont just say he moved up because he was dominant...he is the greatest cruiserweight of all time...evander too had that old school mentality and part of the reason why he is an all time great..this is what GGG wants to accomplish

 

[patscorpio]

ive said it before and ive said it again

these are the "money" fights in boxing after pacquiao-mayweather

any round robin combination of GGG-Canelo-Cotto along with superman-kovalev at 175

nothing at 168 thats for damn sure...in time a move to 168 will make plenty of sense but there's literally no reason for GGG to move up..for what? to face andre ward who's doing his best to ruin his own career with his shytty winky wright ass career decisions?!! ..ward-GGG just doesnt make sense now...outside of him what other 168 fighters are there right now that makes sense for GGG to fight right now....no one!!! ...even more asinine is the suggestion that he should move down to 154 where there is nothing for him or face tim bradley..MW unification is going down and if GGG is left standing at the end of all of this then that would be the perfect time to leave..why its so hard to see the very glaring pros of whats going with GGG and the middleweight division i have no idea

I see a lot of GGG stans mentioning Ward....for what reason?


SOG is taking the TRUE old school approach, moving up to another division to seek tougher challenges. He's not trying to be a belt collector


Talking about SOG has nothing to do with GGG fighting someone he's a 20/1 favorite over on PPV

Broner has acquired 4 Championships and has won each Championship in a different division. He could've stayed at 130 forever, but he moved up because there was no competition (plus the twinkies @patscorpio ). SOG is about to do the same shortly. He's not worried about collecting every single belt in his division, just like AB wasn't. They aren't belt collectors. He's moving up to fight better opposition

WBC 7-Day Weights: Golovkin 165.5, Lemieux 167.6

Gennady Golovkin and David Lemieux remain within regulations as far as weight loss heading into their October 17 middleweight unification title fight at Madison Square Garden in New York City. The manner in which they've reached that point, however, is a bit different from the road fighters normally travel in getting to this point.

As per the terms of the World Boxing Council (WBC) - whom recognizes Golovkin as its interim titllist (Golovkin is also the World Boxing Association (WBA) Super and International Boxing Organization (IBO) middleweight champ) - fights involving its sanctioning must undergo weight checks ahead of fight night. Fighters cannot weigh more than 10% above the contracted limit 30 days out and 5% above said limit seven days out.

Both fighters are within the 168 lb. maximum mark. Golovkin tipped the scales at 165.5 lbs, while Lemieux barely squeezed under the maximum as he checked in at 167.6 lbs during Saturday's weight check. The weights were confirmed by Tom Loeffler, managing director of K2 Promotion, Golovkin's promoter who presents the October 17 HBO-Pay-Per-View headliner in association with Golden Boy Promotions, who has Lemieux.

Golovkin (33-0, 30KOs) is actually slightly heavier than his registered weight for the 30-day check, when the knockout artist from Kazakhstan came in at a healthy 165 lbs. It's possible that the past few weeks have been about maintenace and adding strength as he has never missed weight through 33 professional contests and given his relatively light weight a month ahead of fight.

Lemeiux (34-2, 31KOs) was just under the 10% allowable limit 30 days out (175.8 lbs.). The hard-hitter from Montreal has shed eight pounds in three weeks, but will now functionally have to lose the same amoung of weight over the course of the next six days.

In addition, both fighters will have to jump back on the scale Saturday morning. As Lemieux is the International Boxing Federation (IBF) titlist, the New Jersey-based sanctioning body requires its champions and challengers to perform a same-day weight check, where they cannot weight any more than 10 lbs. above their official pre-fight weight. The same-day ceremony is traditionally held 12-15 hours prior to the scheduled opening bell.

The unification bout represents the first Pay-Per-View headliner for both fighters. Golovkin has emerged as a fast-rising star and the face of HBO boxing, with his all-action fights consistently providing strong ratings results.

Lemieux fights for the second time in an HBO production, as well as his second trip to the United States. His stateside debut also took place in New York, scoring a 10th round knockout of Gabriel Rosado last December at Barclays Center in Brooklyn.
