“Ggg” Takes Manhattan!!!
“GGG” TAKES MANHATTAN!!! New York City (April 28, 2015) This past weekend Boxing Superstar GENNADY “GGG” GOLOVKIN visited New York City in a whirlwind promotional trip just three week ahead of his World Middleweight Championship battle against WILLIE MONROE JR. on Saturday, May 16 at the Forum in Los Angles, California and televised Live on HBO World Championship Boxing® beginning at 10:00 p.m. ET/PT. Golovkin departed from his Big Bear, California training camp at 2:00 a.m. PT on Friday morning for an early morning flight to New York City. On Friday night, he was presented with an award for the Highest Knockout Percentage in the History of the Middleweight Division at the 2015 Boxing Writers Association of America Awards Dinner. On Saturday afternoon, Golovkin held court for a massive turnout of international press at a media lunch held in Mid‐town. Saturday night, Golovkin headed to Madison Square Garden for the World Heavyweight Championship between Wladimir Klitschko and Bryant Jennings where he was interviewed on the HBO telecast. Before departing on Sunday, Golovkin voted in the election for President of Kazakhstan at the Kazakhstan Consulate in New York City. Below are quotes from Golovkin’s media lunch. GENNADY “GGG” GOLOVKIN “Willie Monroe is a slick southpaw and this presents a challenging style for me to fight. This is what I wanted. “ “My focus is on Willie Monroe, I’m not concerned right now with any other fights. “ “I’m very happy living in Los Angeles, my family is with me now. “ “My power comes from hard work everyday in the gym.” TOM LOEFFLER, K2 Promotions “Willie Monroe has a very unconventional style which is a challenge for Gennady and made the most sense.

Saturday night, Vasyl Lomachenko of Ukraine showed up the both of them in his own bid for consideration. In retaining his WBA world junior lightweight title, Lomachenko (7-1, 5 KOs) thoroughly dominated Nicholas Walters of Jamaica (26-1-1, 21 KOs). So thoroughly, Walters quit on in the corner after the seventh round in a “no mas” moment rather than let fans continue to see the beatdown. Lomachenko didn’t pound Walters. He didn’t have to. Lomachenko’s skills are all so on point, he made Walters, an undefeated boxer who himself beat 2012 Fighter of the Year Nonito Donaire in his own dominant performance, look merely average. After an especially dominating seventh round in which it looked like Lomachenko had decided he was bored and started moving in on Walters to end the fight, Walters told referee Tony Weeks in the corner he didn’t want to continue.

A Krushing Konclusion to a Bad Year's Worst Week
A Krushing konclusion to a bad year’s worst week By Bart Barry Quick, off the top of your head, name the contracted terms of Sugar Ray Robinson’s rematch with Jake LaMotta in 1943. No? OK, how about the purse split between Marvelous Marvin Hagler and Thomas Hearns for “The War” in 1985? Not springing to mind. What about the name of Israel Vazquez’s advisor during cable-network negotiations for his second fight with Rafael Marquez? It’s hard to recall such trivia because, contrary to today’s coverage of our beloved sport, history rightly consigns these details to its dustbin, recalling only the swapping of punches. And it does not remember at all fights that were never made – hell, not even a YouTube search can find Floyd Mayweather’s matches with Kostya Tszyu or Antonio Margarito. Saturday, Russian light heavyweight titlist Sergey “Krusher” Kovalev stopped someone named Cedric Agnew in forgettable fashion to set-up a long-longed-for fight with fellow titlist Adonis Stevenson, one Kovalev and Stevenson’s network, HBO, dedicated quite a lot of its subscribers’ time to setting-up – except that shortly before Kovalev’s match, subscribers learned Stevenson was no longer with HBO, rendering them suckers for caring a whit about Kovalev’s meaningless tilts with Agnew and someone else named Ismayl Sillah, or Stevenson’s 13 forgettable rounds with, let’s see, Tony Bellew and Tavoris Cloud. As 2014 continues along, matters become incrementally more futile. If an aficionado took every fight worth seeing this year and added them together, he would have trouble paying for a month’s subscription to HBO or Showtime, and no chance of justifying both, much less both and a gaggle of overpriced pay-per-view offerings.

Mares and Donaire Are the Biggest Losers in HBO's No to Golden
Mares and Donaire are the biggest losers in HBO’s no to Golden Boy It’s hard to imagine how many more times the deck chairs on the Titanic can be re-arranged, but boxing did it ad nauseam this week when Home Box Office slammed the door on doing any more business with Golden Boy Promotions. If it has really changed anything, please wake me up. It’s not as if Golden Boy and Top Rank were sending each other cards with best wishes during the Holidays, any holiday. It was a balkanized business before HBO told Golden Boy to drop dead. It still is. But there are a couple of losers, who can’t be too encouraged by a move that seems to harden each side of a feud with no apparent end. Fans don’t like it. But they get over it. If it’s a good fight, they’ll watch if it on HBO, Showtime or in a parking lot. We’re not talking about Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, either. They had their chances and each, in their own way, managed to back away from the money, or the risk, or the demands for drug testing, or all-of-the-above. But Nonito Donaire, of Top Rank, and Abner Mares, of Golden Boy, haven’t fought for wages that even approach the kind of money banked by Mayweather and Pacquiao. Unlike fans, they also don’t have a lifetime time to wait around for an opportunity at a career-defining fight. They’ve been fighting at weights ranging from 116 through 122 pounds.
