Good, I had no interest in that Fletcher nonsense. I guess the WBA has been missing its Sturm payments and probably did this to get a little more cash its way.
I hope now the incessant bitching about Golovkin not fighting anyone can stop. The man has fought Rosado, Ishida, Mackling, and Stevens. Solid names. GGG doesn't deserve the hate and vitriol he gets on BN24. :bbb
Wouldnt surprise me given the flak they have taken for ordering a GGG-Fletcher mandatory. This way they can save face, and have Fletcher fight Chudinov for the WBA "regular" title that Fletcher was made mandatory to. HBO doesnt want Fletcher... it would not surprise me in the least if HBO didnt read the riot act to WBA in private.
They aren't big names, Geale is a step in the right direction. Stevens the best of Golovkins resume, Macklin ain't much chop.
Finally! At least now he is fighting someone of note and i must say, Geale is probably the best guy available.
Yeah almost certainly the best fight that can actually be made at the moment. Hes not Floyd by any stretch, but as former unified titleist who has only lost via SD hes no tomato can either. If Chavez/Froch cant be made in fall, Soliman wants to fight IBF unification. Not a HOF schedule by any stretch but a respectable one with real fighters.
