Golovkin vs Oosthuizen Jan 19th

I don't understand why Oosthuizen's people are cashing out on him so quickly.

 

weird fight. Pointless for GGG, I can understand him going to 168 to find an opponent that will fight him but fighting an unproven fighter like Tommy is a lose-lose cause if he wins people will say Tommy wasn't that good to begin with, if he loses he lost to a novice. Bad fight for GGG

 

I hear Golovkin spars light heavys and cruisers. Will he come into this fight at his normal weight or bloat up?

 

This is a good point.

However, maybe Golovkin's team sees some aspect in Oos' arsenal that they think would be good training for GGG.

- Or maybe they're simply having trouble finding willing opponents, and this is better than nothing.

 

great fight me thinks.....it tells the world that he is the real deal and ward to watch out..
after GGG sends Oo to hospital,everone will know that GGG is the p4p king...

 

Can't agree more. Plus now that he is the WBA Middle Weight Champion he should just concentrate on defending his title or at least fight in his weight division. By doing this he cheapens the worth of the title. I mean really, nobody wants a shot of his title? How about the South American who fought Pirog? SMW can come later.

 

its a message to ward and martinez thats why the fight is getting made...

 

GGG vs Wlad late 2013

 

Oosthuizen will easily crush rubio and lemiuex on the same night, there is a reason why he is ranked no. 3 by the ring at 168deal

 

In fact Golovkin is going back to his original weight. When he won his silver medal at Olympic Games 2004 he weighed 75 kg (165.3 pounds).

 

Same day weighin in the amateurs. That's roughly his fight night weight now

 

GGG is a big G...

 

It only means Golovkin come in at 161 pounds and probably get a late ko victory

 

Wow what a matchup. I honestly wasn't expecting this. Oost is suprisingly good so don't sleep on this kid.

 

Makes you wonder if he scores an impressive win whether he will remain there?
