    true rubio will have no choice but to throw punches to keep ggg off him.rubio isn't much of a mover anyway so he wont be able to get on his bike to get away like other fighters can like rosado for example.

    you know there's more to golovkin's game than just power.its funny because you say you like him but pick against him pretty much all the time.its okay to believe in ggg the hype is real he's no bute that's for sure.I used to doubt ggg too but now the only fighter I would favor over him is andre ward.

    Its not that I doubt him, I just said he'll probably win, I just happen to be a fan of a lot of middleweights and want them to receive the credit they deserve so I hype them a little, the fighters he's beating aren't bums, but because of the instant GGG will beat them they're an easy win in the long run that damages GGG more than it helps, by devaluing his opponents it makes his wins over them seem less significant.

    But I have to admit since you and I are Martinez's No 1 and 2 fans all the Martinez is a ducking coward **** pissed me off with GGG fans and I like to fukk with them sometimes.

    Suprising this thread has got so many replies. Probably a testament to GGG's popularity. Because this fight is going to be brutal as Rubio is going to walk face first into a wood chipper.

    EDit:

    Actually I think Rubio is going to abandon his Latino machismo and run, hoping GGG makes mistakes in terms of aggression and pacing. Not unlike his approach with Lemieux.

    GGG TKO round 7 or 8. This will be GGG's toughest fight. I can see him probably getting stunned and maybe losing a round or two. But Rubio's toughness makes him take a brutal, incredible beating. Finally broken by bodywork.

    Yes, exactly. It will be a tough fight but GGG will eventually break him down.

    Yes, but it will be a WEIGHT-DRAINED Mexican heart. Rubio is a SMW draining himself for a payday.

    If he's weight-drained, he'll be stopped easily.

    Really?

    Is Rubio-GGG any less one sided than any of those fights?

    Perhaps. Rubio is a tough cookie.

    It will certainly be more entertaining. Both men are Ring Warriors who come to fight. :toney
