Im pretty sure its cuz of the Rosado accusations N then dude ran with it
The same nikka swears Swift loads his gloves N other off the wall shyt
GGG has a real serious asswhipping coming to him. The question is.....will he get it during or after his biggest (possibly defining fight)? because it aint gonna happen before because he aint fighting nobody.
it may happen when or if he moves up.
i believe that athletic commissions only check for glove weight. theres different things fighters can do to gloves. in the 4 oz era fighters used to fight with gloves that had horse hairs for padding and before the fight they would work the horse hair away from the knuckle area so there was zero padding when the fight started. in some tyson fights you can see him pressing his gloves together to work the foam padding away from the center of the knuckle area as much as he could before the fight. some fighters pull the padding backward and skin it down to the wrist with extra tape over the glove you still see this every now and then in a lot of fights when a fighter has his tape all the way up the hand. athletic commissions dont check or try to stop any of this. hopkins revealed an old trick that old time fighters would dip their wrapped hands into ice water to harden the wraps and turn it into a hard cast. theres lots of things like this that fighters do that go by athletic commissions how many fights did margarito fight before he was caught finally. is margarito the only fighter in the sport who cheats or is margarito the only fighter in the sport who happened to get caught? which one sounds more likely to you? remember the athletic commission people are not boxing people theyre a government department.
ggg is the man with the highest ko rate in boxing and the man with the smallest gloves in all of boxing. where theres smoke theres fire look at his fights his gloves are almost the same size as his real hand. it could be many things his team is doing to gloves trying to flatten them out or hitting walls to work the padding before fights that would still pass a athletic commission inspection but every fight he has look at his gloves for yourself and ask yourself if they pass your eye test.

2x...and defending
He doesn't have the brand name yet outside of dedicated boxing fans, but among boxing fans he is one of the most popular boxers. Among non PPV fights, GGG-Stevens was the third highest ranked fight of last year. (JCC-Vera was one above him, don't know the other)
I haven't had a fighter I really enjoyed watching and rooting for in a long time.
#GGG
Gennady Golovkin Gang here! Who is riding with me?
GREENandYELLOW
2x...and defending
If not Sergio Martinez then possibly Sergio Mora
Golovkin is promoted by the Klits. If he really wanted Martinez they would've made a better offer than Cotto
They keep bringing Murray's name up but they've never sent him a purse offer
I think it is far more complicated than that. For one With GGG it is not just a Klitschko purse bid, HBO owns his North American rights. Second, DiBella hasn't wanted to negotiate a GGG fight. And Cotto is far more popular, so the justifiable purse would be bigger for Cotto.
Murray has been having US visa troubles for quite awhile...HBO wants GGG fighting in New York.
ESPN (Dan Rafael) reported post GGG-Adama, GGG said he wanted Sergio next - but knew it wouldn't happen and that HBO had "approved" three fighters and were in negotiations. I am assuming the three fighters they are referring to are Kirkland, Geale, and Lee.
Like I have mentioned before...HBO is being really strong handed in their controlling contract of GGG. It has made him more popular...but that also starts to bring more doubters among the people watching him.
"The April 12 Pacquiao-Bradley undercard is shaping up to look like Ray Beltran against Rocky Martinez in a lightweight clash, WBA super lightweight titleholder Khabib Allakhverdiev defending against Jessie Vargas and WBA interim super featherweight beltholder Bryan Vasquez defending against Jose Felix."
that undercard is far better than the pac-rios one for sure
yep, thats them.
GGG would body Geale and Lee...GGG-Kirkland would be a FOTY candidate and possible GOAT brawl
