today's the day!

 

im so torn on the fight, i'm a big fan of both. My immediate instinct is to root for Kell because he's facing a massive task and i love an underdog story, but after watching more hype videos it's pretty much impossible to dislike GGG, such a smiley, positive guy.

I wouldn't waste time with a draw I just can't see it happening. Brook is at long odds and non of the press really see him having much of a chance other than Sky's BS. Its always difficult stepping up in weight and against arguably one of the all time greats. It'd be a huge upset if Brook won.

Can't wait for this. Golovkin's fights are always entertaining, despite the one sidedness. I don't see Brook winning but I think he'll have a good go at it. He can't do much worse than everyone else has so far anyway.

 

Anything good on the undercard?

Never mind, just found the undercard. Nothing I'm that arsed about apart from Conor Benn's fight.

 

Full card, as far as I can tell, is;

 

Gennady Golovkin vs Kell Brook (12 rounds - IBF, WBC, WBA, IBO Middleweight Titles)

 

Lee Haskins vs Stuart Hall (12 rounds - IBF Bantamweight Title)

 

Johnriel Casimero vs Charlie Edwards (12 rounds - IBF Flyweight Title)

HBO have got a good card on tonight. Roman Gonzalez vs. Carlos Cuadras headlines the show. Nicaragua vs. Mexico. Both undefeated, both are heavy hitters, both have over 75% wins by stoppage. If Gonzalez wins, he's won, light, fly & super flyweight titles.

 

Jesus Soto Karass vs. Yoshihiro Kamegai is on the undercard. They will be fighting 12 rounds in a phone-box, slugging it out.

I was watching with someone who hasn't seen that much of GGG and didn't seem that impressed. He says that Mayweather would have a field day. I dunno, GGG takes some punishment but will also land and I don't know if Mayweather could handle the pressue. Then again, he made Canelo look silly. 

 

He must be looking at GGG though for 50-0. It would do close to 4 Million buys as Mayweathers retirement match and his chance at Middleweight glory.
