    OK, but many really think GGG would stand a chance against Ward. He stands 0 chance.


    ZERO

    Monroe was on wobbly leg since rnd 4. Those uppercut finished him in rnd 5.

    Good entertaining stoppage by Golovkin. Also a good showing from Monroe (did better than several higher thought of and ranked fighters have).

    Hate seeing a fighter quit but I'm having a hard time thinking of any other middleweights who could beat Monroe.

    Oh, yeah it was a great plan to stop punches with your head. Still a valiant effort on Monroe behalf.

    Why are people still shocked that GGG takes shots? It's a big "**** you, you can't hurt me, I can hurt you...and I will hurt you"

    Lol he got up right at ten so the referee could stop it without him quitting. Still, Monroe, Jr was just as good as I thought and I'd love to see him again

    Figured you'd have 3 and 4 for Monroe, surprised you only gave him the 4th. The rounds were both close, but I lean towards Monroe.

    A little glimmer of vulnerability from GGG to entice the big names to fight him. :deal :bbb

    Tuff crowd. He knocked the guy down twice, made his knees buckle a few times, and made him quit in the sixth.

    LOL you guys are too funny - it's clear as daylight that GGG let those feather punches land to entice the ladies like Andre Ward.

    Willie F'in Monroe can land but geale, stevens, and murray cannot? hahah

    anyways good on jack reiss!! didn't let monroe ***** out claiming "i beat the count" made him quit.

    I don't blame Monroe for quitting, honestly.
