By Dan Ambrose: IBO/WBA and interim WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (32-0, 29 KOs) will be defending his title against the slick southpaw #3 WBA, #5 WBO, #9 WBC Willie Monroe Jr (19-1, 6 KOs) on May 16th at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The Golovkin-Monroe Jr fight will be televised by HBO Championship Boxing. Is it going to be a great fight? Probably not.
Monroe Jr likes to run and hold when facing punchers, and his fights aren’t known for being the most entertaining unless you like watching fighters that run and hold.
