Gennady Golovkin to Face Osumanu Adama in Monte Carlo on Feb 1st

Your just as bad as the Aussie commentators, you probably also think that Danny Green is a legend

 

Not particularly, no. Neither Green nor Mundine are legends except in their minds. Geale however was a solid titlist and while he deserved the loss to Barker is still a top middle, and he most assuredly did shut out the rubbish Adama. :good

 

you only like GGG because he's white. It's obvious

 

Isn't he Asian? :huh

 

I believe the IBO is respected in many parts of Europe and Asia so apparently Golovkin respects it enough to not vacate it at this time, so he has to fight Adama. That was my point. To clarify, my point wasn't "Adama is the IBO mandatory, so he must be awesome.", instead my point was, "Golovkin doesn't have a choice about fighting Adama because he's the IBO mandatory."

 

Ah yeah... I guess that makes more sense.

And FWIW I'm pretty sure I've not seen it sold as being a mando either - pretty sure they picked Adama cos they couldn't find anyone else. And yeah, the Irrelevent Belt Organisation is simply s#it.

 

I kinda take your point, but I can't find any reference online to either the IBO ordering the mando or Geale passing on it - Sturm's obviously a little busy right now as #2, but I'm pretty sure there would at least be some reference, somewhere (the IBO website ain't even got it listed on there upcoming title fights list - guess no one's told 'em about it yet:rofl). At most I'm guessing it's kinda an added bonus, so they can say they fulfilled the mando obligations, but really I think they chose Adama just cos that's who they could get.

FWIW I don't much care, Adama ain't terrible and has earned his Teak Tuff badge, it's just I was hoping for a little better (as where we all I guess) - ah well, fingers crossed for Murray next....

 

Do you remember when Macklin and Rosado gave Martinez and quillin hell? That didn't happen with Golovkin, because Golovkin is on another level.

 

another terrible fight for triple G, can't say im surprised though. i can't believe people have this guy in their p4p top 10 when he continues to take garbage fights one after the other. he makes mayweather look like a risk taker!

 

Who should GGG fight in February then?
Tell everyone your opinion on who would realistically be available and we'll tell you why your opinion is wrong.
Can't wait for this.:rofl

 

Not a big name, but another stay busy fight. Unfortunately, Murray didn't want any. I don't blame him. I'd want to milk the Martinez fight as much as possible.

 

he technically is, but the castefootball users don't recognize him as such :yep

 

He does have a choice, though. He can just drop it and save the date for someone more preferable to Adama. He must recognize that whatever his personal attachments to it, the IBO commands very little respect on a global scale and does nothing to help further his career along - particularly in the USA where maybe five people have even heard of the IBO. (All five of us massive boxing nerds...)
