Golovkin Monte Carlo Card On PPV

Looks like a damn good card I think im going to go ahead and order it.

all that illegal banksters money,political money,blood diamond money has got to go some where.

I am really looking forward to seeing GGG tsep up. His style is intruiging, particualrly how he seems to rely on being, seemingly, vulnderable and open, but always in a position to deliver power without over-committing. He knows his opponents see the (obvious and perhaps deliberate) openings in his style, and that in itself sets up the power shots. Not sure it will work with Ward though.

25 bones I am in


looks like a solid card with a solid ppv price..

mid day fights means we start drinking early!

Let Golovkin have Strum, then maybe Geale. Wait, the first match-up involves the WBA being logical. Forget that

How about Froch or Kessler? Even Edwin Rodriguez. Anyway, hopefully we will get to see Gennady in with Martinez and/or Ward within the next 18 months. Actually, letting Brian Vera have a payday and shot at Golovkin, before or after Strum; would be entertaining. Brian Vera V Gennady Golovkin, while it lasted, would be a real blood-bath and possibly, for a while, a good test for Golovkin; particularly after Vera's recent win over Dzinziruk.

Yep, Vera would really train and, whilst remaining one dimensional, walk through bullets for that one; which would suit Gennady perfectly.

i think the only guy who gives ggg trouble is ward. not only skill and boxing iq wise but also size...
if ward can deal with ggg's power then ggg would have some problems..

however i think ggg knocks out kessler, froch, rod, vera- who is all action, sturm would run.

yes i said froch, froch is too cocky for his own good, he has a good chin but i recall a shot *** taylor out boxing him and putting him on his ***, along with buzzing him a few times with right hands and ggg has more power than taylor..

all good fights...

I agree Amayseng; Froch is too cocky and open for his own good. Sure he is tough and fit, but his comments before and after the Ward fight were a little rich. Froch, IMO, is a terrible boxer and a good fighter. Mostly it's his before-mentioned attributes combined with that awkwardness that serves him well; as he has a style that's hard to deal with unless you know and can execute boxing fundamentals well and fast under pressure.

If Ward fights Froch again he will severely embarrass him.

Ward, I think, will also beat GGG. I think GGG knows this and that's why you don't hear GGG mention Ward's name as an opponent. Ward knows how GGG is moving and what he is doing in the ring - you can tell from his commentary of the GGG V Rosado fight.

You're comments about Strum and GGG were both funny and correct; yes Strum would run. I doubt Strum would take the fight now, particularly after his confidence took a beating from guys like Soliman and Geale; the former of which GGG would certainly beat.

true, also sturm ducked ggg for years, i read an article siting sturm paid some money to put ggg on the shelf.
maybe if ggg can continue winning and being impressive he can possibly move up in two years and a ward fight would be more competitive.

Speaking of music someone on this card needs to stroll out to The Man Who Broke The Bank In Monte Carlo.


I've just got here, through Paris, from the sunny southern shore;
I to Monte Carlo went, just to raise my winter's rent.
Dame Fortune smiled upon me as she'd never done before,
And I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.
Yes, I've now such lots of money, I'm a gent.

As I walk along the Bois Boolong
With an independent air
You can hear the girls declare
"He must be a Millionaire."
You can hear them sigh and wish to die,
You can see them wink the other eye
At the man who broke the bank at Monte Carlo.

Yes I heard/read about Strum ducking GGG too.

Apparently it resulted or originated from Universum placing GGG in the same stable as Strum when GGG became a pro, moved to Germany whilst at the same time Strum was a champion. Apparently Strum expected GGG to take his floggings during sparring like most newcomers into a new stable dominated by a world champ might - which was where Strum made his mistake as Gennady - even by the time he was only just making waves with a few pro fights - handled Strum easily and also gave him a few things to think about.

Like black eyes.

According to what I was told and read, that was just at the start of GGG's tenure at that gym. So apparently Strum had to put up with being a world champ whilst someone in the same gym - who was hardly ranked and considered professionally inexperienced at the time - could easily flog and hurt him, and thought nothing of it.

Rumor has it that Strum missed many training sessions whilst all this went down, and even before big fights - when you would normally soak up all the hard sparring you could get - Strum was reported to have occasionally gone AWOL - particularly when GGG was there.
