    It's not a bad pick if you are looking to bet with Monroe being at plus 1400. I have watched Monroes last 4 fights and he is fast, uses his legs well, is rangy and a south paw. I would make GGG a favorite but Monroe is a live under dog.

    I am putting a little cash on Monroe to win and another bet that he goes the distance. I think Golovkins streak ends with this fight.

    I would favor Monroe over Lee, Lemiux, Cotto, Murray,
    Storm, Geale. Him and chocolate is a pick me fight

    Willie needed 2-3 more high class fights. Willie has the talent to compete with anyone, but Vera->GGG just too big of a leap. I am pretty peeved that his handlers fed him to GGG so soon.

    I already bet on the draw and a Monroe win, it's decent odds.

    Munroe is good. GGG is on another level. It's not underestimating Munroe is just calling it as it is.

    there's a good chance Willie will get punched in the face and go down to the canvas. in fact i'm going to go out on a limb and predict it.

    I will bet Monroe to Win
    I will bet the draw also
    And the over

    Do you know what the over is on rounds?

    I don't see it on sports bovada yet.

    If some one put a gun to my head I say GGG by 10 round KO to a possible decision. I think this is a great fight to bet on being the style of Monroe and the odds.

    Monroe is easily Golovkins best opponent to date, he would beat everybody else on Golovkins resume.

    hard to believe you guys are serious. if you want to throw away money buy a lottery ticket. triple G will be pushing hard for the knockout & Monroe has no punching power to keep him off. he will be running for his life.

    By my reckoning Golovkin hasn't faced an authentic runner since Ian Gardner and he went the distance.

    Who? well exactly, he wasn't very good. Theoretically Munroe is a step up in class and Golovkin is an older slower fighter than he was then. Theoretically...

    i have all of his pro fights except vs. Sid so i know who Gardner is. :yep

    Golovkin's jab, conditioning, overall technique & power are now far superior to then.

    Well I'm a Golovkin fan so I hope you're right, can you imagine the backlash? :lol: but at the same time, I'll take a potentially lucrative punt on you being wrong.
