By Allan Fox: WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (28-0, 25 KO’s) will be defending his title this Saturday night against #12 WBA, Osumanu Adama (22-3, 16 KO’s) in what appears to be a mismatch at the Salle des etoiles, Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The 33-year-old Adama has tried to convince anyone who would listen that he’s going to beat Golovkin, but there’s nothing in his recent resume that would give a hint of that happening. Adama was easily beaten by Daniel Geale in 2012, and before that beaten by Don George. Those losses would eliminate pretty much any chance of Adama pulling off an uposet on Saturday night against Golovkin.
This fight won’t be televised by HBO in the United States on Saturday due to the logistical nightmares involved. There’s not much point of HBO packing a huge production team to Monte Carlo to televise a fight that will very likely be over in 3 rounds with Golovkin destroying the over-matched Adama.
