    Rumors have been circulating on Twitter that GGG was feeling unwell, that's why he didn't do any interviews after and they left.

    You could see from his face today that he looked unwell, Eddie Hearn picked up on this too straight after.

    This is not good to see just 2 days before the fight, if GGG pulled out last minute due to not feeling well, and the bout got postponed, would y'all be ok with it?

    I'd be annoyed because this is something that would've been preventable had they gotten there a little sooner. It seems like he's still jetlagging.

    Lol, he'd be an even bigger laughing stock if he pulled out from fighting a welterweight. The fight is on Saturday night and it's Thursday, he'll have more than enough time to adjust to his surroundings and get better. It's an easy fight for Golovkin, there's no way he's pulling out.

    Yes very stupid to come just 5 or so days before the bout, not GGG's fault though, Abel Sanchez is the one that decides when to come. Same kind of thing happened in 2011 when he was jet-lagged for the Kassim Ouma fight, and GGG didn't have a great fight that night, it went 10 rounds as well before he finally stopped him. Will be interesting to see how he goes on Sat night if he doesn't pull out.

    Come on people, don't fall for this 'unwell' nonsense! GGG is scared cause now he's realised just how big this is and who he's fighting and where he's fighting too! This isn't his comfort zone where he fights a nice easy opponent! He's crapping himself and he's looking for a reason to postpone!

    If he postpone everyone will know he was scared.

    Gennady Golovkin been feeling a bit ill but promoter Tom Loeffler says he will be fine.


    GGG is feeling unwell, that's from a verified source, which shows Loeffler has already confirmed he's been ill today but saying he'll be fine, only time will tell.

    That's what he gets for harmfully draining himself.

    I don't understand this post, if he feels really unwell to the point where his performance would be signficantly hindered how is postponing the fight "being a pansy". Get a grip.

    If he's genuinely feeling a bit crook then it's nothing to do with anything he's done wrong, they clearly left plenty of time and he's been looking great the whole way - it looked like they had everything perfectly under control. People get bugs, **** happens... bad luck if it's still a problem on fight night. If WE are gutted about it if it happens, imagine how he feels???

    Not much I could do about it. But I imagine people who had booked accommodation etc. for the fight would be upset(I know I would be).
