    Everything goes to the fact that Golovkin will face Saunders on June 10 in Astana Arena in front of 30k fans. Saunders himself recently told his next fight will be out of England. And people in Kazakhstan are already convinced that fight will take place in summer(even sports' minister blabbed). The thing is Astana (capital of Kz) will host an Expo-2017 in summer. And officials in order to attract attention to the world exhibition want to make a boxing event with the participation of Golovkin. Local officials are ready to pay Saunders whatever he asks to see how GGG unifies the belts in homeland. Seems like that deal was done, they just wait for the Jacobs fight. And the fact that Frank Warren and BJS will be at ringside in Madison Square Garden at Saturday night, is leading to the thought that when after the knock out victory over Jacobs, answering to the Kellerman's question about future, Gennady will officially announce his fight with Saunders.

    I like the idea of GGG fighting in Kazakhstan, why not? They have oligarchs with money, he's their most recognizable athlete (can't think of anyone else at the moment really), the crowd will be pumped and it will be a good move to further popularize boxing in the country which has already produced plenty of good boxers. GGG gets to unify the titles in his home country. Also, we get to see him fight live in Europe in normal hours, it will be around early afternoon for us.

    This will get them even more mad. LOL All the stupid trash who micro manage and run down this great man's career. Jacobs is going to basically show up for his check that he extorted from everyone after hearing about how Team GGG scheduled another fight before the one with him.

    Shows you all deep down just how little of a threat they consider Jacobs despite what is said publicly.

    A conditioned BJS takes GGG into deep waters. He's too elusive.
