    Give me a damn break, Loeffler. I don't care if Zurdo is big at 168, Golovkin can fight him at his weight.

    I mean, he could, I agree, but he doesn't really have to. Zurdo is like a dozen options down the list for Golovkin, whereas there's no bigger fight available for Zurdo. If he wants that GGG payday, he can jump through a hoop and boil a few pounds. And I say this as someone that is normally 100% against catchweights in all iterations. But this isn't an essential fight, nobody's calling for it, and Golovkin doesn't really need it - truthfully it net-benefits Zurdo and nobody else. So he can probably afford to make a minor sacrifice if he really wants it. Yes, draining is a disadvantage but so is giving up 4" of height and 5" of reach to jump to a weight you've only fought at once in your pro career (versus Malik Dziarra, in GGG's case, and they weighed in 161 and 162 respectively) and Ramírez actually fought primarily at middleweight for the first half of his own career. So coming at, say, 165lbs probably isn't the absolute end of the world, if he absolutely insists on getting the fight. If he doesn't want to, he's free to pass on the payday.

    Zurdo's SMW title would represent an accomplishment for Golovkin. And let's face it, it's not as if he's covered in glory after 6 years of fanfare, he needs as many accomplishments as he can get.

    If he doesn't want his belt or doesn't want to fight him at the limit, he should fight a 160lber instead of conning the people by bringing Zurdo down. Derevyanchenko is ready.

    Also, I guess Team Golovkin is waiting for the decision about Canelo, it`s gonna be on Wednesday. If he gets only a half year bann, they can start to organise the rematch.

    :deal: She's perhaps one of the only people in congress left who has a degree of integrity. And she has bigger balls than almost anyone serving. Which is why the DNC and that vile sellout hack Howard Dean has tried to drive her from the party. She should run as an independent, and bring in Bernie to work on trade issues.

    Again, it didn't sound like Zurdo was anywhere near their preferred choice for the fall date - but if all the best middleweight options fall through for Golovkin yet again, instead of a repeat of this nightmare scenario, at least both parties have agreed in principle to have Zurdo be the contingency plan should Canelo II/Derevyanchenko/Jacobs II/Saunders/Charlo etc. be impossible to make happen (before reaching this regrettably tardy stage) for whatever reason.

    If middleweight had already been cleaned out and Golovkin was twiddling his thumbs and just idly called out Zurdo for a catchweight match instead of moving up to challenge for his SMW title just for the hell of it, then I would be more critical of that. For a "plan Z" for September, a match with Zurdo where he's boiling a few pounds is no worse than Spike or Martirosyan are/were for this current May date.

    She's great! You have no idea how refreshing and reassuring it is to my ears to hear those words coming out of a politician's mouth. Well you do because I'm sure you find it just as refreshing and reassuring as I do. I watched Theresa May in the House of Commons today being grilled about her decision to launch strikes against Syria. I say grilled but in reality in was more like them agreeing with her and Assad gasses children and bad evil Russia being repeated over and over again. Oh and we have proof but you'll never get to see it. ******* warmongering psychos the lot of them.

    How absurd that everyone's attention keeps diverting to politics on a thread about the ultimate fate of what originally was supposed to be the biggest event of the year in boxing. :lol:

    I can't believe Tom had the gall to admit they're going to string us along for potentially another nine days without an official opponent announcement. :shakehead:

    The governments of our countries are run by megalomaniacal ghouls, where the **** did these people come from? Were they made in a lab somewhere? As angry as I am, the thought of murdering or viciously maiming someone has never even crossed my mind, I have tremendous self control, and a steadfast moral compass, yet these cretins who present themselves as fine and upstanding have absolutely no qualms with eradicating vast swaths of countryside killing thousands for a little extra dough. They're all immoral filth, on what planet is, well we don't know who gassed who, but when have a ton of evidence it was a false flag as were the last two, but **** it, the populations of our countries are so stupid, they'll never know any better. Let's just make an accusation of, in all likelihood, the innocent party, with no evidence to back it up and blow some **** up!

    For some reason this song has been on a loop in my OCD head for the last day. Only it should be expanded from LA to a world wide enema.:mad:

    I often ask myself the same question. Are these people actually real people? Are they aliens in human skin sent down from their planets to wreak havoc on our species? Are they devil worshipping Satanists? I wouldn't be surprised if any of the above was true given how sick they are and how much they thirst for war.

    Have you seen any of the Assad body language videos before? If not check some of them out on YT.

    I have no desire to kill anyone either. I never have. That said, I would gladly take all those warmongering psychos out who have no regard for human life whatsoever and have the blood of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions on their hands, if presented with the opportunity. I'll listen to that song as I do it lol

    I thought Jesse Ventura's Conspiracy theory episode on Reptilians was absolutely ridiculous, but it would explain it wouldn't it?:lol: They're cold blooded emotionless snakes in human form, like James Earl Jones in Conan. As far as the Satanist stuff, you remember the Gotthard Base Tunnel Opening Ceremony don't you? That **** was more evil than most of the Black Metal concerts I've been to. They power hungry sociopaths, that's the main type of people politics usually attracts, that or genuine idealists, who get so wrapped up in their idealism that they usually morph into some form of a Maoist extremist themselves. So either way you look at it, they're corrupt, either they go in that way, or get corrupted over time.

    I just checked out one of the body language vids, its fairly fascinating, and she sees what I see, a relatively trustworthy good man trying to do what's best for his country.

    And ditto.:sisi1

    :lol:

    Yeah I do remember that Gotthard Base Tunnel Opening Ceremony it was extremely creepy.

    I despise all warmongering politicians, as someone else said the other day, they're very brave with other people's lives. I'm not going to go Guy Fawkes on them but I wouldn't be shedding any tears if someone else were to lol.

    Yeah those videos are very interesting.

    If Theresa May was born with male genitalia

    I'm not one for ridiculous conspiracy theories, but when you start adding things up, like the Bohemian Grove, that Tunnel Ceremony, the weird Eyes Wide Shut like parties the Rothschild's used to throw for politicians and celebrities, all the weird Abramovic stuff and Moloch mentions, and the fact that Merkel, May and especially that terrifying cold psychopathic detached from reality look Hillary has had in is eyes since she bonked her head. There might very well be some low level Luciferian activities going on behind the scenes.:dunno

    Guy Fawkes was an Aries.:D

    Assad is a good man and Asma is a good woman, I don't sense even the slightest bit of malevolence while watching their interviews, its a good thing most Brits and Americans don't actually seek out and watch their interviews, because the MSM's narrative would crumble like a dried out cheaply produced dollar store tortilla.

    And Hillary looks like Vader without his mask.:sisi1
