by

1-golovkin-wade (11)By Jeff Aranow: Undefeated challenger Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) is being overlooked by the boxing world for his title challenge this Saturday night against the unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) for their fight at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Wade, 25, doesn’t mind that he’s the underdog in this fight because he feels motivated to prove the many doubters wrong when he goes in and hands the hard hitting Golovkin his first loss of his pro career.

Golovkin thinks he’d KO Mayweather

by

golovkin55By Allan Fox: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin says he’s ready and willing to fight Floyd Mayweather Jr. if the 39-year-old superstar chooses to return to the ring in the near future. Golovkin says he thinks he would knockout Mayweather if that fight happens and he’d like to turn the fight into a real “Drama show” if given the chance to fight him.

Golovkin says he would prefer to fight Mayweather than WBC middleweight champion Sail Canelo” Alvarez because Mayweather is the pound for pound champion and he likes that fight much better. Mayweather has sized Golovkin up and says he sees no “special effects” with him and that he’s straight up and down. However, Mayweather hasn’t agreed to take the ultimate plunge by agreeing to step inside the ring with Golovkin.

1-CaneloKhanLAPC_Hoganphotos16By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions vice president Eric Gomez says they’re not sure when WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will be facing IBF/IBO.WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. Gomez says the fight will happen at some point, but they’re going to want it to take place at a catch-weight because they don’t see Canelo as a middleweight.

Gomez says that Golovkin should have go give up weight by agreeing to a catch-weight because Canelo will be giving up weight to fight a true middleweight.

Golovkin’s knockout string goes back to 2008. The last fighter to go the distance with Golovkin is Amar Amari, who survived an eight round bout against Golovkin in June 2008. Amari spent most of the fight covering up against the ropes.

Golovkin-Wade: 6 days to go

by

1-golovkin-wade (11)By Allan Fox: Six day from now, IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) will be defending his titles against unbeaten Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) on April 23 on HBO Championship Boxing from the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Golovkin, 34, says he’s not overlooking the untested and little known Wade in this fight, but you can’t help but wonder whether there will be a let down on Golovkin’s part. This is not the fight that he wanted. Golovkin was hoping to be facing the likes of Saul “Canelo” Alvarez of Billy Joe Saunders in unification fights by this point, but those fighters have shown enough interest in taking a fight with him to agree to a fight.

Golovkin: Canelo’s the same size as me; he’s a middleweight

by

golovkin55By Dan Ambrose: Despite WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and his trainer insisting that Canelo still needs to fight at 155lbs for his fights at middleweight, IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin thinks it makes no sense for the 25-year-old Canelo needing catch-weights for his fights in the middleweight division.

Golovkin says Canelo is the same weight as him, and he should be fighting at the full weight of 160lbs for the middleweight division. Golovkin says Canelo will come in at 155, and then balloon up to 175lbs the next day when he fights.

by

golovkin#1(Photo Credit/Michael Sterling Eaton, Neo Nostalgia) By Jim Dower: Trainer Abel Sanchez says that IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is ready for his title defense this month in nine days from now against unbeaten Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs) on April 23 on HBO Championship Boxing from the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Wade, 25, is seen as a real challenge for the recently turned 34-year-old Golovkin due to his hunger, punching power and his youth. Wade hasn’t learned how to lose yet, and he’s going to be coming into the fight with the confidence from his past 18 victories.

Golovkin vs. Wade – 10 more days!

by

golovkin8133By Allan Fox: Boxing fans have 10 more days before IBF/IBP/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin defends his titles against IBF challenger Dominic Wade on April 23. This is a fight that many fans are really looking forward to despite the fact that it’s seen largely as a mismatch with Golovkin facing his ritual sacrificial lamb for the slaughter.

I don’t agree with that. I think the 25-year-old Wade is going to give Golkovkin a real test in this fight. You have to remember that this is going to be Wade’s Super Bowl, his World Series, and he’s going to be totally hyped up for the fight, unlike Golovkin.

Golovkin-Wade tickets moving fast

by

golovkinBy Dan Ambrose: Due to the high ticket sales for this month’s fight between IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) and Dominic Wade (18-0, 12 KOs), the officials for the Forum in Inglewood, California, will be increasing the Forum to max capacity of 17,000 for the April 23 fight.

This is not surprising because there’s been a huge amount of interest in the fight card despite the main event match between Golovkin and Wade being seen as a mismatch by most boxing fans.

The co-feature bout between WBC flyweight champion Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (43-0, 38 KOs) and McWilliams Arroyo (14-2, 12 KOs) is helping to draw interest from fans wanting to attend the card.

The Golovkin vs. Wade card will be televised on HBO Championship Boxing on April 23. If Golovkin wins, he could be facing WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez later this year in September unless Canelo decides he doesn’t want to face the Kazakhstan fighter.

Golovkin the birthday boy today

by

golovkin123By Dan Ambrose: IBF/IBO/WBA middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (34-0, 31 KOs) is the birthday boy today in turning 34-years-old. Golovkin is in his 10th year as a pro, and he now more than ever needs to start getting the bigger names to fight him if he doesn’t want to wind up as another avoided fighter like Guillermo Rigondeaux.

2016 is going to be a very important year for GGG because he’ll find out this year if he’ll be getting a fight against WBC middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez or not. If Golovkin can’t get that fight, then he needs to move on and just be happy with winning the WBC title after it’s stripped from the 25-year-old Canelo for failing to accept the challenge from Golovkin.
