(Photo credit/Will Hart, K2 Promotions) By Allan Fox: It’s increasingly becoming more clear that if WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (33-0, 30 KOs) wants a fight against WBA super middleweight champion Andre Ward (30-0, 15 KOs), Golovkin is going to have to face Ward at the full 168 pound weight for the super middleweight division.
According to Steve Kim, Ward won’t be meeting Golovkin halfway in a 50-50 scenario in a catch-weight at 164lbs in order to make it easier for the smaller Golovkin. The question now is whether Golovkin – and his promoter Tom Loeffler – are willing to let Ward be the A-side in the negotiations by giving him what he wants in the negotiations when it comes to weight.
