By Adrian Alvarez Jr.: I’ll admit up until 6 years ago when I saw a movie named Borat I hadn’t heard to much about Kazakhstan and now with the emergence of WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin I definitely know of it and hear a lot more about it.
With his 3 round destruction of a very tough and usually game Matthew “Mack The Knife” Macklin, he has proven if there was any doubt (which there shouldn’t have been) that he is and will be for a while a force to be reckoned with in the middleweight division one of those G’s should stand for Godzilla.
I hope he doesn’t prove me wrong later cause I don’t write something unless I truly believe it.
In the 3rd round of last nights fight Gennady with Macklin against the ropes looking like he wasn’t sure what to do with Gennady, landed a perfectly timed and thrown Left hook liver shot that landed as perfect and precise as a tomahawk missile it looked like it was computed in his brain like a programed robot.
Macklin did the usual pause that a lot of boxers do when hit with that shot; the pause that lets you know he got hurt with that shot, and just crumbled to the ground. I had a feeling he wouldn’t be getting up and he didn’t.
There is a possible fight with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. being set up for Aug a fight that I have no doubt Golovkin can win. Despite the size of Chavez Jr. when he steps in the ring, you have to give it to Gennady he has absolutely no conditions when it comes to who he’s going to fight. That’s something you don’t see a lot of now and only from a few fighters unfortunately in our great sport.
He also said he’d be willing to fight both Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Floyd “Money May” Mayweather Jr. after their fight. I can’t say for sure but they may not want to jump in the ring with this guy too soon again. I can’t speak for them honestly. I would see Canelo getting in there before Mayweather though, but that’s just my humble opinion though. A few years ago he might have jumped in there when he was younger and moved a little better and threw more combos and even that’s a maybe. I can imagine trainers of other fighters looking at him like Mickey was looking at Clubber Lang in Rocky 3 with the this guy is a monster look.
Another fight everyone wants to see is Golovkin vs. Sergio Martinez. I too would like to see this fight but I would’ve liked to see the Martinez from a few years ago in there. I don’t see Martinez being able to beat him now, especially with how much he struggled in his last fight in Argentina against Martin Murray last April. In fact part of me thinks Martinez lost that fight maybe it could’ve gone either way but a unanimous decision was absurd. I’ve got Golovkin winning this fight.
The dream fight though would be between Golovkin and the man that took part in the commentary of last nights fight, Andre “S.O.G.” Ward, which I think could be a possible fight in the future. I can see Golovkin moving up in weight to take that fight. As for who would win I can’t say right now until I further study both fighters but it would be a blockbuster; another Canelo vs. Mayweather, only with two heavier very hard hitting monsters with Ward being the slicker of the two.
Gennady seems like a boxer who can adjust, and I think this fight would be great. So let’s have it fellow “sweet science” fans, what are your thoughts?
