    If Golovkin knocks him out there's no way anyone at 160 or 154 will fight him.

    Golovkin fighting someone who will prolly spend most if his career at 175 lbs. At least Oosthuizen doesn't have that big a reach for his size.

    Lets see what happens???
    But @ 168lbs after being named the "Full" WBA champ...
    (Whatever that is^)

    Kinda weird fight to make.
    But bombs away.

    Interesting fight, and no catch-weight too... maybe Golovkin isn't as overrated as I first thought :think

    thats a great fight.. thats gonna be like hagler-hearns and it actually might last more than three rounds. Tommy Guns gonna get knocked the **** out but i don't see how this can't be all action while it lasts..

    Golovkin is a warrior, just made full champ @ 160, steps up and takes on a good prospect @ 168, we need more like him!

    Pretty much. :lol:

    One thing this fight will show, is how genuine Golovkin's power really is.

    I think its genius.
    Look at the worst case scenario. If GGG loses, the offers suddenly start getting accepted.
    If he wins though, this could be an even worse situation in terms of being elevated to the "even higher" category of risk. His management really need to hijack HBO to force opponents for him going forward.

    what....what....WHATTTT....WHATTTTTTTT


    that doesnt make sense....that is like....WHAT

    5 years or so hustling bustling getting in eliminators/inter continetal/interim/naba/nabf/nabo/abc org conventions around the world....to...what. throw it for this? it's not a bad move for a boxing fan but does beg the question...WHAT!?!?!?!

    no catch either. good on him. wants to fight. which channel will pick this? WealthTV....espn main event poss ppv? poss hbo.

    amazing match. good win win situations for both. tommy needs more attention outside the boxing circle clique. beating a current world champion is a brilliant sell. if he loses...oh well he is young against a tough fighter at a weight he might possibly leave.
    for GGG it's at a weight that we can say "meh at too high a wegith so soon after a 160 tilt" he can take it or leave it. could poss make 154. and gives him elbow room to move in on 160. he could sweep up.

    Oh ****! :admin :ibutt

    This is quite a treat.

    I guess if you've got brass balls and the rest of your division doesn't, you move on up and show them what it means to tackle danger by getting in with a top 10 guy at the next weight. :respect to GGG.
