where was this fight held in Borats shed or something???? Hardly the level for a middleweight championship of the world.
I don't wanna knock the KO, but i can't help it looked suspect. The shot was legit, but it looked more like simon got dumped from that hook instead of straight KO'd. plus, the way he got up and back to his corner looked like he wasn't really hurt at all. Anyway, Golo is a threat and a top 3 middleweight for sure. GG should fight Pirog and the winner would force a sergio fight.
Ko'ing Simon was a good result and Simon and Ouma are competent gate keepers at this point but I really hope Golovkin gets a major/semi-major fight soon. There are a lot of, potentially, good middleweights out there who are all about one win away from being seen as a serious challenge to Martinez. If only some of them would face each other the 160 division would be a serious division again. Put any combination of Golovkin, Pirog, Lemieux, Proska, Quillen, Geale, Lee, or even a jr middle like Kirkland together and the winner(s) would quickly be seen as someone Martinez has to face. Golovkin being with the Klitschkos could give him some major exposure and possilby some tv time. I don't know of anyone else K2, outside of the brothers, has promoted into relevance but Golovkin could be one.
he was to be on the Wlad undercard and they just wanted to get the fight in... no time for huge ticket sales and such... at least he got to fight after training so hard
Remebered when he knocked out Lucian Bute in the amateurs long time ago but thats the reason Bute fights so cautious Golovkin exploded a atom bomb on his chin !!
well he is with K2 now and will will get massive tv action with the klit brothers. he looks really good.
