    No he wont. Murray will get another new designed WBA inteim paperbelt and Sturm keeps his trinket :rofl Funny isnt it :rofl

    WBA is the face of boxing.
     
  3. I saw that.
     
  4. It's funny that you think that will happen, yes.

    I think K2 are trying to establish Golovkin in Germany now and push for a fight against Sturm. He also fights on the Klitschko-Mormeck undercard next week.

    This is very good news. :good

    There are interesting matchups that can be made at middleweight if the sanctioning organizations will force the titleholders to face mandatories. Chavez should be forced to fight a live opponent too.

    Phew. Thought I was going crazy then.

    This raises more questions though. Why are two Johnny foreigners fighting for Macklin's WBA belt?
     
  8. Macklin was immediately elevated to WBA Secret Middleweight champion.

    He now wants a unification with Martinez and his WBC Top Middleweight belt.

    WTF is up with Sturm saying Golovkin, his "mandatory", is overrated?? (re: Scene website)

    He says Pirog is more dangerous than Martinez, and obviously more of a challenge than GGG given how he sees the guy.

    I wouldn't mind Sturm-Pirog after he's done with Murray. :D

    I also remember Gevor beating Sturm in 2009, and Randy Griffin beating him in 2007, but that's neither here nor there.

    This will be good! Hope they take it to Neutral area, How about here in the States? :happy:happy:happy:happy:happy

    I think Golovkin can win if he doesn't get robbed...

    Sturm= one of boxings all time cherry pickers and paper champions. defending against unknown euro's, unranked brits and american cabdrivers that people in america have never even heard of....how does he get way without facing a legit opponent since DLH? it's one of the worst title runs ever, **** this joker.......he'll find a way to keep that belt hostage and avoid Golovkin.

    I thought the WBA said that Golovkin-N'Jikam had to occur within the next 6 months. Is N'Jikam just out of the picture now?
