Golovkin vs Oosthuizen Jan 19th

Whoa interesting. I wonder how much input HBO had on this fight, especially after the 164 catchweight was turned down. My worry here is that they're going to try to make Golovkin fight Ward, especially since that was the angle they pushed during the Proksa fight. There are too many interesting fights for Golovkin at middleweight for him to become another guy to be sacrificed to Ward and he'll be seriously undersized at 168. That's assuming of course he gets by Oosthuizen, which I think he should.

 

Wow. Very good fight. A couple of weeks ago, Oosthuizen's manager said they turned down a fight with Golovkin because Tommy wouldn't have been able to make the proposed 164 catch-weight. Glad to see they could come to turns.

 

Stupid fight for GGG.He should stay at 160.I don't get it?:-(Who talked him into this.Chavez,Martinez both at 160 makes more sense.:huh

 

For real? That's awesome!

 

This will be Tommy's coming out party. Mark my words

 

I expect it will probably be his going out party. But we shall see.

 

168?!

 

this is a tough fight, wow GGG truely isn't afraid of anybody. this is a high risk fight for both fighters

 

Weird fight, especially since GGG just became full WBA champ @ 60.

Should be interesting, anyway. I like both guys. Both are hittable, have good chins. Oost relies on fast combinations and GGG his power. Not sure how long Oost can hold up, though.

 

huge size difference between the two tommys like 6ft4, dont like this fight for GGG

 

Golovkin is great for the sport. This is a guy who can make 154 fighting a very promising 168 fighter. How can you not admire Golovkin? :happy

 

Now the WBA can use this an excuse to strip him and put the belt on the line in an exciting Sturm-Hearns rematch.

 

no catch weight. mad props

 

Really?!? :happy
Or are you just saying that to get us all excited... :blood
