Golovkin vs Oosthuizen Jan 19th

One could say the greater reward would be Rodriguez though since he's fought on HBO multiple times before :think

 

Rodriguez was 186 in the ring against Escalara....wow. GGG and people must really not give a ****.

 

if any of these rummors are true and GGG fights anyone of these guys then mad respect... win or lose you just can't absolutly can't say a bad thing about GGG.

 

GGG is awesome there aren't enough boxers like him out there

 

Wow props to both guys, two of my favorite young fighters right now. Not sure if I should be excited that they gonna lock horns or bummed that there will have to be a loser. This is a really tough fight to pick a winner.
I just hope for GGg's sake that a move to Smw won't nullify his punching power like we saw with Arthur Abraham. Plus which Tommy Oos might be very hittable
but he has been in with a few big punchers already and he takes a good shot.
Kinda get the feeling Gennady will have to either stop Oos or get a few knock downs. Will be tough to out point a skillful volume puncher with such a big height and reach advantage.
Two class acts who clearly love to fight, we should be in for a treat!

 

If Golovkin takes Oosthuizen or Rodriguez at 168 then he's a G , no doubt. Both are risky fights for Golo. :yep

I really hope to see one of these fights ( Golovkin vs Oosthuizen / Rodriguez ) scheduled on HBO. :yep

 

Among casuals, yeah, as far as name recognition.

Boxing heads would know Oost is the more dangerous assignment, though.

Rod can only really beat GGG by KO and it's a very outside chance.

A decision loss to the big lefty is a far more immediate threat.

 

I don't like this at all. GGG is too small for 168 lbs. I don't like the idea of him operating against a big 168 lber that has a good defense and is able to fight off the ropes. I think he'll win but its a fight he could easily look bad in.

 

Golovkin may become the new Harry Greb !

Next thing you know, he'll be fighting Huck & Hernandez.

 

I agree fully seems most of the Top fighters seem to hand pick there fights where as this Bloke Will take on all comers,can see why it's happening Gennady has to keep active and no one at 160 wants anything to do with Him,well done Golovkin Boxing needs you.!!!!!

 

Good post.

 

I have never seen his opponent but HBO should atleast tried to get Rubio, another MW, instead of a SMW. Or even Lemiux who just won a few weeks ago to give more exposure to GGG which is what HBO wants.

 

GGG continues to be awesome. How the guy has haters is beyond me.

Should be interesting to see how he does against such a big opponent. Oosthuizen's physical dimensions and style could make it a difficult fight for GGG, but I predict he stops him late.

 

It will not be official until 11-10 until Oosthuizen faces Fulgencio Zuniga who shouldn't be a threat but did just batter Alejandro Berrio last time out. Not sure why GGG fights at 168 but I hope it is just temporary while we wait for a live name at 160 to fight him.
