Re: Gennady Golovkin VS Matthew Macklin 6-29-13
I really know nothing about this guy, and I don't think I've even seen him fight yet. I just know the HBO hype train is all-in on him, which makes me a bit wary. Will be interested to get a first look at him this weekend, anyway. -

Despite being untested Golovkin is a huge favorite to knock Macklin out.
Obviously very heavy handed he had a distinguished amateur career winning a World Championship and Silver Medal in the 2004 games. When you have a 345-5 amateur record you have to have something going for you.Comment

Wow. That was as-advertised. Consider me impressed.
Golovkin's power is almost mystical, because he doesn't look like that big of a guy, and he doesn't really load-up or sit-down on his power shots, so the fact that he's just throwing calm, normal punches, and guys go flying across the ring is almost confusing. Nevertheless, who would want to fight this guy at this point?
You gotta figure Sergio Martinez is next, and given how badly he's deteriorated in the last 12 months or so, I envision no other outcome than him being knocked out. I mean, Macklin is a real tough hombre, and gave S-Mart all he could handle, and just collapsed like a broken folding chair against this Golovkin guy without him even breaking a sweat. I don't want to over-react to what I saw tonight, but given the middleweight contenders, it's hard to see anyone beating him for a long time...
I think one guy that's got a shot, if he could ever commit to the sport and respect himself enough, is Chavez Jr., but I seem to be the only one that sees something in the kid (which admittedly might not be there).Comment

Forgot to mention the obvious about tonight...that was a wicked body shot omg lol. He dropped like a bag of bricks I found myself laughing at the replay, even though the **** is obviously not funny.Comment

EDIT: Scroll down a sliver and you will see the body shot.

BIG TIME power! Golovkin's punches hurt even when they miss!Comment

That being said some big money is there at 168, even a power dream match with new light heavyweight Adonis Stevenson. (at 168, not 175)Comment

Re: Gennady Golovkin VS Matthew Macklin 6-29-13
I hear S-Mart is off the table for Golovkin for the forseeable future (maybe forever), which is probably wise...I think Sergio would just get busted up and have his career ended unceremoniously if they fought at this point.
I also heard the suggestion of Chavez Jr., but it's not clear when/if he's going to be ready to fight again. That would be my preferred match-up.
The Stevenson match-up would be TNT vs dynamite...big action fight with big power potential. The weight might be an issue there, though.Comment

Re: Gennady Golovkin VS Matthew Macklin 6-29-13
I actually felt bad for Macklin after that KO...I mean, that must just hurt so bad to leave a tough SOB like Macklin writhing on the mat in pain in front of the whole world...That had to be a cracked rib or lacerated liver or something. Either way, I don't ever want to know how badly that hurts...Comment
