Gennady Golovkin vs Matthew Macklin… Bombs Away!

By Peter Silkov

Hard-punching star in the making, Gennady Golovkin 26-(23kos)-0, faces his biggest challenge yet this Saturday, when he defends his WBA world middleweight title against the battle-hardened Matthew Macklin 29-(20 kos)-4. Golovkin takes on the tough, Anglo-Irishman Macklin, at the MGM Grand, at Foxwoods Resort, Connecticut, USA, in what promises to be a career defining fight for both men. For Golovkin, this looks to be the toughest fight so far of his professional career, which has taken him to the edge of elite stardom, while Macklin on the other hand, is aiming to make it third time lucky, in this, his third attempt at winning a world title. The stakes are high for each man, with defeat a career-derailing prospect.

In an era where some ’elite’ boxers seem to be able to trash talk better than they can fight, this match-up has been a breath of fresh air, with both Golovkin and Macklin showing each other a lot of respect in the build-up to their clash, while at the same time promising fireworks when they get into the ring. These are two fighters who prefer to do their talking in the ring, and seldom disappoint when they do so.
After the trash talk fest of last week between Adrien Broner and Paulie Malignaggi, which showed so much of what is wrong with modern professional boxing, we have the antidote in Golovkin vs. Macklin; two fighters who are warriors inside the ring and not prima donnas outside of it.

The steady rise in popularity of Golovkin is an example of what many boxing fans want from their champions; action and excitement in the ring, but also, professionalism and respect outside of it. The Kazakhstan born Golovkin is an interesting contrast, polite and softly spoken outside of the ring, and a fearsome knockout artist inside it.
Golovkin has built up a growing reputation with a string of exciting defenses of his WBC middleweight title, disposing of challengers with a brutal efficiency, and fighting with an eye-pleasing blend of technique and raw power.

Boxing at the moment is in a state of flux with many of its elite champions reaching the latter part of their careers. Juan Manuel Marquez is 40 years old and has spoken of retiring soon, Manny Pacquiao’s future in the sport is uncertain following his loss to Marquez, many see Miguel Cotto as a spent force, and Floyd Mayweather, despite his recent victory and continued dominance of the sport, is obviously nearer the end. Sergio Martinez, the WBC middleweight title holder, is looking increasingly injury prone and vulnerable at 38 years of age. With all these elite fighters in the twilight of their careers, the sport is desperate to find some new stars. So far, Golovkin has shown that he may well have what it takes to fill in some of the void. With Adrien Broner looking less and less like boxing’s next big thing, Golovkin is in a prime position in his career right now to step up and make a statement against Macklin that will mark him out as an elite star in the making.

Golovkin and his management have made it clear, in the run up to the Macklin showdown, that they are ready for all challenges. They are open to taking on big name opponents, ranging from Light-middleweight to super-middleweight. It is an unusual fact that Golovkin is still able to make 154 pounds if he wishes too and this, aligned with his willingness to also move up to 168 pounds, opens the possibility of fights with the likes of Canelo and Mayweather at light-middle, and Ward and Froch at super-middleweight.

There are also a number of exciting possible encounters at 160 pounds for Gennady, especially if he is able to go ahead with his aim of attempting to unify the titles. Although the politics of unification would probably be more daunting than the actual physical opponents, he would need to beat in the ring.

The middleweight division at the moment is one of the most talented in boxing, but it also suffers from the curse of the multi ‘world’ titles. The other ’world champions’ at 160 are WBO title holder Peter Quillan, IBF champion Daniel Geale, and WBC champion Sergio Martinez, who is considered by most to be the true ’world champion,’ and one of the best boxers pound-for-pound in the world. However, Martinez’s stock has dropped a little of late, due to his increasing age, vulnerability in recent fights, and there are an increasing number of people who believe that Gennady Golovkin is now the best 160-pounder in the world. It is certain that a fight between Golovkin and Martinez would be one of the most highly anticipated 160 pound fights for decades.

The fact that Golovkin’s management has broached the prospect of him taking on opponents ranging from 154 to 168 pounds is a testament to their growing confidence in Gennady, and the feeling that now is the time for him to make his move onto the next level.

Perhaps one of the biggest dangers for Golovkin at this point, is if he or his team falls into the trap of looking too far ahead, because Matthew Macklin is not a fighter to overlook. The Anglo-Irishman has built up a reputation as a no-nonsense, aggressive box-fighter, who is unafraid of fighting the best opposition in their own backyards. Macklin’s first shot at a world title came in 2011, when he challenged Felix Sturm for the WBA middleweight title in Germany(at this point Sturm was the WBA’s ’super’ champion, while Golovkin was the ’Regular’ champion). Macklin gave a great performance of pressure fighting against Sturm, and was judged my most to be hard done by, when he lost via a split decision. In his second attempt at annexing a world’s championship, Macklin took on Sergio Martinez in March 2012, (for Martinez’s WBC Diamond belt, another WBC trinket) and gave the highly regarded Martinez a very tough fight, before being stopped after the 11th round.

The messy, often bizarre politics of the various 160 pound world titles aside, Saturday sees two truly world class fighters come together in a fight which is almost sure to entertain in all the right ways.
Despite his reputation as an aggressive come forward fighter, Macklin has shown in his fights against both Sturm and Martinez that he has underrated boxing skills, and is not simply a one dimensional slugger. One of the intriguing questions about Macklin’s clash with Golovkin is what approach each man will take against the other. Golovkin is also a better boxer technically than he is generally given credit for, and it is possible that we could see more boxing in this fight than is expected, certainly in the beginning, as both men respect each other’s strength and power, and may try to box for points early, while biding their time. However, it is unlikely that it will be long before a proper ’fight’ breaks out in this contest as both men seem to relish toe-to- toe confrontations.

Macklin’s main chance of victory lies in the hope that he can out work Golovkin and perhaps dent the Kazakhstan’s so far, fairly untested chin. This is certainly a fight in which we are likely to find out whether Gennady can take it as well as give it out. For all his talent, Golovkin is not the most elusive of targets, with his main defense being his offense. Indeed, Gennady may well have to tighten up his technique in this fight and not attempt to simply walk through Macklin like he has with so many of his past opponents.
If Golovkin really is as good as he has looked in recent fights, he will simply have too much strength and technique for his latest challenger. This is probably the fight in which we will see Gennady significantly stretched for the first time as a professional, and it should bring out the best in the Kazakhstan man.
These two fighters are about to make a whole lot of noise with their fists come Saturday night, with Gennady Golovkin taking another step towards becoming one of boxing’s elite champions, probably by a late rounds stoppage, after a fight that is liable to be dramatic, brutal, and beautiful all in one.

Paul Malignaggi vs Adrien Broner… Time To Let The Fists Do The Talking…

On Saturday 22 June, the world of boxing will breathe a collective sigh of relief when Paulie Malignaggi (32-4, 7kos) and Adrien Broner (26-0, 22kos) finally put aside months of verbal sparring, and settle hostilities in a ring, with their gloves on. When Malignaggi defends his WBA world welterweight championship against Broner, at the Barclays Centre Brooklyn, New York, it will be the culmination of one of the most ill tempered build-ups to a fight for many a year. This fight has been built upon a cascade of venom and insults from both sides, which has taken the usual pre-fight trash talk down to new depths.
Behind the rather distasteful trash-talk, that in reality, has not endeared either fighter to the fans, this match represents the first real ‘test’ for Broner, in his efforts to reach the next level as an elite boxer. The pressure is on Broner not just to win, but also to look special in this fight. A hard won, or closely contested victory would not fit easily into his often-projected profile of a pound-for-pound king in waiting.

There is no doubt that Broner is talented, the question is whether that talent is enough to make him the heir apparent to Floyd Mayweather. Additionally, there is also the question; whether Broner is handling his talents in the right way or has he already allowed himself to become consumed within his own hype?
In his efforts to mimic Floyd Mayweather, both in and out of the ring, Broner has, in recent months, become increasingly outrageous and controversial. His recent “out of the ring” adventures include being arrested after an early morning brawl at a Miami hotel, in which he allegedly bit a security guard. This was closely followed by ’The Problem’ photographing himself flushing $50 dollar bills down a toilet, and then just in case he hadn’t made his point with these classy incidents, Broner was videoed at a nightclub, stimulating sex with a stripper and throwing handfuls of money at his fellow clubbers. One hopes, that one day Broner does not have cause to look back and regret he didn’t save the money, which he so profligately threw away in these incidences. Unfortunately, boxing history tells us that he may well live to rue being so adventurous with his hard earned dollars.

Ironically, the biggest problem for ’The problem’ may turn out to be himself, as in his attempts to out-do Mayweather in controversy and notoriety, Broner is skating closer and closer to the edge of a self-made abyss. ’The Problem’ already has a 14 month stint in jail in his past, and there remains the danger that he will one day take a step over the edge and derail his career, and forever curtail any aspirations he holds of succeeding Floyd Mayweather as the world number one boxing star.
However, there is little doubt that in the contradictory and often hypocritical world of present day boxing, that Broner’s increasing notoriety is as much responsible for attracting his growing fan base, as his boxing skills.

Against Malignaggi, ‘The Problem’ faces a vastly experienced boxer, who has a slick style but little power. Beneath the layers of hype and insults which have so dominated the build up to this fight, lays the almost unspoken belief that this could be a one-sided fight, that will struggle to live up to its pre-fight fireworks.

In many ways, Malignaggi should be applauded for being in this position at all, in this stage of his career. After being written off as a world-class fighter several times following high profile defeats, he has come back to win a second title and prove that behind the chatter and the crooked cap, is a shrewd and tough man.

Malignaggi is a street smart, fast talking veteran, who has been mixing with world class competition for the best part of the last decade, but has been beaten every time he’s stepped up to the elite level. Of his four career defeats, aside from a controversial point’s loss to Juan Diaz, Malignaggi was beaten conclusively by Miguel Cotto, Ricky Hatton and Amir Khan. Although there is certainly no shame in losing to any of these fighters, these defeats serve to highlight a level where Malignaggi’s jab and move style fails to carry the Brooklyner to victory. Malignaggi just has too little power, and neither his speed nor his skills, are enough to carry him past boxers at the highest level. In ’The Problem,’ Malignaggi is facing yet another elite level boxer, who should be superior to him in every department. Broner is known for his fast hands and flashy yet effective defense, but he is also very strong physically, and although he is moving up in weight for this fight. It is unlikely that Malignaggi will enjoy much of an advantage (if any) in the strength department. Indeed, with the added weight, Broner may well be even stronger physically than he was at 135 pounds.
Paulie’s best, and possibly only chance of winning this fight, is to utilize his mobility and his jab. If Broner has a flaw in his style, it is in his tendency to be flatfooted. This helps him put power into all of his punches, but it also limits his mobility, and makes him vulnerable to a boxer who can hit and move and use the whole of the ring. If Malignaggi can get his jab going against Broner, and utilize his movement, then he might have a chance to frustrate and even perhaps out-box ‘The Problem.’

However, this is easier said than done, especially against a boxer with the mix of speed and strength of Broner. Furthermore, Paulie was less than impressive in his last fight, when he was cut and floored and struggled to retain his title on a controversial split point’s decision, against the tough, but unremarkable Pablo Cesar Cano. The same Cano, who recently lost a decision to a faded 41-year-old Sugar Shane Mosley.

This is a fight that Broner needs, not only to win, but also to win impressively. One of the digs against Broner at the moment is that he is more style over substance. While on one hand, we are told of the challenge he faces in moving up two divisions in one go, it should also be noted that by jumping over the 140 pound light-welterweights, Broner has also jumped over one of the most talented and dangerous divisions in boxing. Despite his guile, his heart, and his sneaky jab, Paulie Malignaggi is also the weakest link of all the belt holders at either 140 or 147 pounds. Anything less than a spectacular victory for Broner will put a question mark against his eligibility to succeed his idol Floyd Mayweather Jr. to the title of the best pound-for-pound fighter of his era. In many ways, a point’s victory for Broner would be a moral triumph for Paulie.

The chances are that Broner will wear down Malignaggi for a late-rounds stoppage or knockout victory, which will be workmanlike rather than spectacular. At 23 years of age, Broner still has some work to do to make his ring skills live up to the out of the ring hype. Until he does that, or faces some genuinely dangerous opposition ’The Problem’ will be in danger of drowning his talent in notoriety and hype, rather than exercising it to its fullest potential, and becoming best known for what he does inside the ring, rather than outside of it.

Mikey Garcia vs Juan Manuel Lopez… Duel in Dallas…

 By Peter Silkov

 Mikey Garcia (33-2, 30kos) makes the first defense of his WBO world featherweight championship this Saturday against former champion Juan Manuel Lopez, in what could be a very interesting encounter, at the American Airlines Centre, Dallas, Texas. In many ways, this is a throwback fight, pitting the young champion just starting out on his title reign, against a war torn ex champion, attempting to regain his former glories. One of the things that make this contest intriguing is that we are yet unsure just how good Mikey Garcia is, and at the same time, we don’t know how good Juan Lopez remains.
Although, only four years in age separates Garcia and Lopez, (and indeed only four fights), the difference could easily be many more years and fights, if we are to measure the true fistic mileage that both men have travelled. While Garcia has been brought along steadily, developing with each fight and not having many wars along the way, Lopez has had a firecracker of a career that has seen him fighting at world level for the past six years, and engaging in a long trail of exciting, but physically draining battles.
One thing, which both men have in common, is Orlando Salido, with Lopez losing his WBO title to Salido, and Garcia then beating Salido for the title earlier this year. It is these contrasting results against Salido, which may well mark the crucial difference between Garcia and Lopez, and indicate how one man is developing, while the other deteriorating.
It was a huge upset when Juan Lopez lost his WBO title to the rugged veteran Orlando Salido in April 2011, with Lopez being stopped controversially in the 8th round, while still fighting back, after what had been a brutal toe-to-toe encounter. The defeat was Lopez’s first as a professional, and dented plans for him to go on to bigger things. Despite the loss, many felt that Lopez would regain his title when the two men met again eleven months later. However, this time, although the fight was another war, Salido seemed to hold the edge throughout, as he out-worked and out-punched a brave but sluggish looking Lopez.
When the referee stopped the action in the 10th round, there seemed to be little cause for argument this time, as Lopez had taken a fearful amount of punishment, and looked to be out on his feet upon the ropes. But following the stoppage, there was more controversy. During the post fight interview, Lopez bitterly protested the stoppage, and alleged that referee Robert Ramirez Sr. had ended the fight due to his involvement with a gambling ring.
In the ensuring furore, Lopez found himself suspended by the Puerto Rican boxing commission, with the general consensus being that he had made his allegations while not thinking clearly after taking such heavy punishment. Ironically, the referee was the father of Robert Ramirez Jr., who had refereed Lopez’s first fight with Salido, and had been criticized for stopping that fight too early.
If anything, the suspension Lopez was handed, and the consequent year away from ring action, may well have done him some good, he says himself that he feels refreshed and that his body has healed from all the battles it has been through. How far this new found freshness can take Lopez when he squares up to Garcia is a big question.
It is possible that once Garcia starts landing his big punches upon Lopez, then the former champion’s decline will once more become evident. Garcia is a sharp boxer-puncher, who has underrated power. In winning the WBO title from Salido last January, Garcia had the very durable Salido on the canvas twice in the first round, before going on to dominate the fight, until its rather controversial ending, when an accidental head-butt broke Garcia’s nose. This caused the fight to be stopped in the eighth round, giving Garcia the title via a technical decision.
Style-wise, these two men should match up nicely, with the champion Garcia, being a boxer-puncher, and the southpaw challenger Lopez more an outright brawler, with a big punch.
If there is any visible chink in the armour of the young champion, which may give Juan Lopez some hope, it is the controversial ending to Garcia’s match with Salido. Some criticised Garcia for deciding to take a technical decision, rather than opt to carry on fighting until the match reached a conventional conclusion. Adding to the controversy, was the feeling of some, that Salido was having his best moments of the fight prior to its conclusion, and that Garcia had been showing some indications of tiring.
Lopez has a chance to regain his WBO world featherweight title if he is able to drag Garcia into a back alley brawl, and ask Garcia questions of himself, that he has not yet been asked previously in the ring. The big question about Lopez is whether he still has the resources to drag Garcia into just such a fight or were his two defeats to Orlando Salido indications that the resilience, that took him to victories over fighters, such as Rafael Marquez, Daniel Ponce Delon, and Gerry Penalosa, has been permanently eroded.
Looking back over Lopez’s action-packed title reigns, at super-bantamweight and featherwight, and the wars in which he took part in during those reigns, it becomes clear why the Puerto Rican may be a worn out fighter. Such wars as the Rogers Mtagwa classic, a fight in which both men exchanged leather bombs for 12 brutal rounds, leaving Lopez out on his feet in an extraordinary final round, with only his heart taking him the distance for a point’s victory.
This is a hugely important fight for Lopez, after taking two warm up bouts earlier this year, he now has the chance to regain his former crown, and with it, his position within the boxing world. Victory would put Juan back at the top, and in the mix for a number of possible big fights. Defeat could well mean the end of the road for Lopez, certainly at the top. It is quite simply, make or break for Lopez.
For Garcia, this first defense of his WBO title is his first opportunity to show how good a champion he can be, and whether he can make that step from simply being one of today’s many faceless titleholders, or else develop into one of the elite champions, and have a substantial reign at the top.
Juan Manuel Lopez has never been in a dull fight, but while this has endeared him to many boxing fans, and taken him to two world titles at two different weights, his all-action style of fighting tends to lead to a short career. The chances are that Mikey Garcia will be too young and too strong, for Juan Manuel Lopez this Saturday, and will out-box and eventually out-punch the ex-champion for an inside the distance victory.
