Ishida has never been stopped and is very durable but Golovkin will take a lot of smack if he doesn't stop him. I have a hard time getting excited over this fight truthfully, the Paul Williams and Pirog fights were kind of boring. I'll still watch it but i hope the fight ends early.
So why exactly is GGG fighting a 37 year old featherduster who's coming off back to back losses? You're 31 next month man, fight someone.
I'm pretty sure that 3G will punish Ishida badly. I'd like to see 3G against real solid 160 competition like Macklin,Barker,Geale,Lee or Jr or, or why not 3G vs Kovalev at 170/175 pounds. :yep 3G vs Kovalev at 170 or at 175 would be goddamn electric and brutal. :yep and 3G vs Bika at 168 would be awesome too ... :hey
Who do you suggest? He just had a date on HBO that should have been appealing for any contenders, no one spoke up. There's another HBO date in june, heard from any volunteers better than Brian Vera?
That's the job of his management and promoters. Are they going to continue to talk about how great he is 'till he's too old to prove it? You put enough money up, and fighters will fight him. For the moment, he's 100% one of the most overhyped fighters around.
So, everyone is terrified of him? Yet a 37 year old with no power, 8 losses and coming off back to back losses is not? :think You'd think he was the first hard puncher the sport has ever seen. :roll:
