Hell yes. And you gotta love how he talked Brook, and didn't play the "I'm the fighter, I don't make the fights" card. Kell Brook make it happen
Brook keeps talking about how he's dead serious that he wants to fight Golovkin (trying to one up Khan) so it shouldn't be a problem to fight Spence right? Lets see if Eddie Hearn actually makes the fight or secures another bum for Brook.

I can see them making a double header with Brook fighting Ray Robinson, and Spence fighting Carlos Molina before they fight each other.

Looking forward to seeing Sammy Vasquez again soon too. The welterweight division piping hot as usual.

Spence is far past any kind of tune up/build up fights. It's not hard to see this kid is special. He needs to be in there for a title next. I don't know if I'd feel comfortable picking anyone at 147 to beat him.

.. and FWIW, the only real garbage fight Brook took was against Gavin which was kind of thrown together to make that card better and was not even 2 months after his last fight. JoJo Dan & Bizier were both IBF mandatories.

HERESY @HERESY .. way off subject, but there's only like 5 of us that post in here. How's everything going with the album?
Finishing up the last of the IMPS (Interactive Music Playslist Songs), have to wait 36 days because we're in talks with several comic publishers (two) so I can't really divulge that until the time period has elapsed or we have come to an agreement but everything is moving along smoothly. I should have the mixes finalized for the the IMPS songs in the near future. The storyline DOES change but I won't say yet, lol.

Dominic Wade: I'm a thug, I might break Golovkin's face


FightHype just caught up with Dominic Wade & Co. for a video interview ahead of this Saturday's title fight against Gennady Golovkin. And while Al Haymon's mouthpiece Sam Watson did most of the talking, Wade himself offered up a few of his thoughts on the fight.

Wade on being on the big stage for the first time:

"I'm taking it pretty good, man. I've been working you know, so ain't nothin' new."

On what makes him different from past Golovkin opponents who were scared of his power:

"I'm me, I'm a thug..."

On his first opportunity to fight for a middleweight championship:

"It's beautiful, I'm ain't gonna get all into the hype right now. When they say 'and new,' that's when I go..."

On his own power that he's bringing into the fight:


"A lot of strength, a lot of power, a lot of twist into it. I'm tellin' you, it's gonna work...I might break his face."

On sizing up Golovkin when he saw him in person:

"He ain't too much bigger, I'm longer than him and everything. Look [showing his fists to the camera], that's what gonna do it right there. These ain't little."

Triple G and Roman Gonzalez tonight, pumped up. After Golovkin hopefully dispatches his IBF mandatory he goes in hard on Canelo in the post fight interview, I hope he holds nothing back
Completely off subject, but I hate the way the IBF assigns mandatory challengers. They'll straight up go down a fucking list until they find someone that accepts if the actual mandatory can't fight for whatever reason.

So you get a guy like Wade fighting for a title after "beating" Sam Soliman.

Totally flawed system. Johnson was mandatory, he got hurt pulled out, there was no ranked #2 so they go to the #3 guy in Wade and make him mandatory. Its stupid to have mandatories just for the sake of it. Better than the alternative though (WBC/WBA)
