Welp, HBO ain't pickin that BS up but as a stay busy fight..........
could be worse
As a stay busy fight, looks about as good as he could do.
This time around there was no doubt his 160 lb compatriots were looking to take "easier" fights against each other rather than fight him.
GGG already has an April 26th HBO date lined up (assuming he beats Adamek), so obviously the idea with that money and tv promotion is to get a bigger named fighter in the ring with him.
(Adama's three losses are to the three best fighters he has gone against, the rest of his competition hasn't been great. Another fight GGG looks to be the first person to give his opponent a KO loss. Don't have a problem with this fight as his promoters have been up front that they couldn't secure a top tier opponent and admit this is a stay busy fight, with the hope of securing a better opponent for April 26. Last year there wasn't a lot of incentive for fighters to fight GGG. With GGG scoring good ratings for HBO, they need to step up and provide a good purse to help GGG secure a top tier opponent. 2013 was a building year for GGG, 2014 is going to need to be show and prove time for his career.)
