    For the record, poll is approx 60/40 Golovkin at this point.

    Closer than the one Leoh did at weekend, which was well in favor of Golovkin. :think

    Super tough to split it for me, I have it about 55/45 right now... may change when I see them face to face and at the weigh in.

    Im going to say that Golovkin wins a close and competitive decision, I think Froch breaks the KO streak and proves to be a worthy challenge to G.



    If Froch outmuscles G and beats him up on the inside though and wins a legit win, or if its a toss up fight and Froch gets somewhat of a gift, neither would surprise me.



    But Golovkin SD will be my official pick as of right now. In a competitive fight.

    This fight is awesome but I really didn't want to see G leave middleweight. What then if he beats Froch.... people will already be lining him up and using the Froch fight as means to validate him as an opponent against Degale and Ward.

    Both Froch and Degale recognize and have stated that G is small for the weight.... and they are right.

    Golovkin should be staying at 160....

    He will either ended up wishing he did or Froch will wish he'd retired. :deal

    Great fight I agree

    10 days ago I thought it looked like Forch was gonna retire, but I think he may have seen something in GGG's fight with Munroe that he fancies the job now

    Froch KO round 8. Golovkin's come forward style backfires, semi-spectacularly. People whine Golovkin was injured or ill. Golovkin says nothing.

    Do you not think he will call Froch a bad boy after the fight? :think

    I think he will have enough respect for his superior that he will keep his gob shut, unlike some other fighters I need not mention.

    How many times have we gone against Froch and he has proven us wrong? I'm not doing that again.

    He is the bigger guy, great chin, stamina, heart and can hit hard himself.

    I would truly believe the hype if GGG was to be beat him though.

    Now that I think about it more, this is reminding me of AA vs Froch build up!

    GGG by late stoppage, just because Froch has a great chin

    it'll be a sad way to end Froch's career though.

    all bloodied and beaten up by a smaller guy moving up in weight
