    Bedtime. But before Serge hits the hay.

    “My guy can hit. You have heard what they said. They say that he is a slick boxer. But I think Andre is the strongest puncher in the super middleweight division.''

    “I have already told people, that when Andre becomes champion there will be very few people that go the distance with him. You know, I listen to people talk about his punching power, but I think that he can hit just as hard as anybody out there, and they (the critics) don’t know that. Now that he is a champ, and you include that extra twenty five to thirty percent of confidence, I am going to start calling for the knockout. You see, I never used to call for it before. But believe me he could knock out anybody out there. And he could hit as hard as anybody out there. But the critics don’t believe that. They will believe that when it starts happening.

    But that's why he has no fan Base apart from ex *****'s and people who hate Golovkin.

    Can you imagine putting a knockout highlight reel together? The man couldn't even KO Paul Smith.

    KO reels aren't the only form of boxing reel.
    KO reels appeal mostly to casual, like yourself.

    Ward's fan base is much larger than Golovkin's. Ward doesn't need Gonzalez on his undercard to bring in fans, but Golovkin definitely does. In fact, Gonzalez will be on the Jacobs undercard.

    When Canelo-Golovkin happens, if 1M buy, 982,000 will be there for Canelo and the remaining to see Golovkin.

    LOL

    If Ward's fan Base is much larger then why is he not selling out arenas?

    Why does he need to fight in Oakland?

    Why is a guy from Kazakhstan, with little English gaining more props from the fans, both hardcore and casual?

    Every fighter should have produced a KO that their respective fans can remember and speak of, can the same be said for feather fisted Ward?

    People will only be able to talk about how he was treated with cotton wool through the corrupt super 6, head butted Kessler to death then brought in his single leg takedown attempt at Kovalev.

    Then again we can always re watch his fights against Rodriguez, Green, Bika....great fights....great fights.

    ...Ward's fanbase isn't larger than Golovkin's. You think...Roman Gonzalez...is carrying Golovkin? That's silly. You're silly!

    I thought that was a joke/spoof video, but then realised it was real.

    The man has headgear on and Vyacheslav is going easy on him, yet still manages to get his chin shattered.

    You're right. I must not really believe that the little guy whose P4P rating is higher than Golovkin's to be carrying Little g.
    In fact, Gonzalez, unhappy with his Golovkin undercard status demanded to be the main event and got it.
    Then K2 made a special request for him to co-headline the Golovkin-Jacobs bout. LOL.
    Gonzalez is tired of pulling in his fans for Golovkin while GiGi gets the benefits.

    Actually I take it all back.

    Ward recorded a KO between his Miranda and Kessler fights against "Sugar" Shelby Pudwell.

    He stopped Pudwell in 3, only problem being he was a blown up light middleweight and had been stopped in 1 off John Duddy 3 years before.

    Someone sounds salty that Gonzalez likes to appear on a Golovkin show.

    If he appeared on a Ward one you might actually get a 1000 people actually turn up for a Ward fight for once.

    Casuals, yes.
    Hardcore fans know with 100% certainty that Golovkin has fought nobody in 8 years, and they are tired of it.
    Finally, after 8 long years he will fight the best opponent he has fought in his career, Jacobs, and that's not saying a lot. Jacobs is a good fighter, but definitely not as good as the opponents Golovkin ducked. I.E., Hopkins, Lara, Ward, Canelo.

    You should read more.
    Gonzalez doesn't like appearing on Golovkin undercards. After appearing on the the David Lemieux under card, Gonzalez demanded K2 make him the headliner from then on, and K2 had no choice but to agree.
    He is on the Jacobs undercard because of special request by K2, which means they needed him and likely paid him like they needed him.

    LOL imbecile.

    He'd have destroyed Hopkins and idiots like you would have picked him apart for beating on an old man.

    Canelo had his chance and said he was a 155 fighter only to now be fighting at the super Caneloweight of 165 lbs.

    Lara needs to get his manager to Co tact K2 or STFU and whilst he's at it maybe he could rematch Molina and set straight the gift he got against him.

    Ward is at 175 now and no fighter should be expected to jump 2 weight divisions, anyhow Kovalev retired him.

    Being P4P number one doesn't equate to tons of views. Gonzalez is still less popular than Golovkin. There is a reason the boxers at smaller weightclasses get paid so little and that is because they simply don't generate enough ticket sells.
