    Canadian National team member and won his first two matches at the World amature Championships before losing to the bronze medalist. Ended his amature career ranked 12th in the world.

    Trash fight.
    If Rolls was like 23 with that record and up and coming, then given GGG's layoff time I can KIND OF see some point to it. But the dude is like 35.
    Like I get the idea, it's to try and get a quick KO and be like THE BEAST IS BACK etc but I bet you GGG struggles in the first round like he did with Vanes. Insane that DAZN have signed a 37 year old on a 6 fight deal.

    Exactly, that means he'll get the rounds that he needs. N'dam isn't gonna fall apart the first time Golovkin touches him, he's not going be a sitting duck. Golovkin is gonna have to stalk, cut the ring off, stabilize him with the jab, he's gonna have to work to dominate N'dam.

    The preciously small amount I've seen on Rolls, this guy has not real footwork to speak of, he's not fast, he doesn't have much power (he teed off on the low level guy and couldn't even drop him). He threw his shots extremely wide and from the waist, both hands were down. His head was just "there" ready to get caught. He's gonna fight Golovkin like that? He's the definition of a sitting duck.
