I like Jennings a lot, but he didn't look great. Perez was gassed as hell and did nothing but hold for 6 rounds and Jennings still could barely handle him.
The ref took a point for whatever that was but let Perez do more holding than Andre Ward and John Ruiz combined, wtf.

Jennings is a good fighter, but was incredibly underwhelming tonight. I'd rather see him fight for a title than Perez however.
I wish GGG could get an opponent worth getting excited about.

The way Cotto has fought under Freddie Roach? Idk, GGG beating him is certainly not a given at all. Also, Cotto stands to make more money with a fight against Canelo, hell even Chavez would draw more $$$ than Golovkin.

0% chance. All the other champs will dodge him.

Acording to Chavez Sr. the next opponent for Chavez Jr. is Cotto, they are meeting with Arum tomorrow, Chavez will meltdown to 160 lbs, the fight will take place in September.
In his prime, Cotto fought at Jr. Welter and Welter. GGG is natural middleweight, and he can conceivably move up to Super-Middle.
Cotto is defensively responsible, but he's no Mayweather ............... and GGG is a murderous puncher with vastly underrated technical skills and a granite chin.
I wouldn't wish GGG on Cotto - no need to go out like that.

Sorry man, Cotto gets put to sleep within 6, natural middleweight with vicious punching power vs a welterweight fighting @ middleweight.
Y'ALL MUSTA FORGOT..RJJ forgot to retire =(
The frustrating thing is that Cotto has a claim to the lineal title at 160 owing to his victory over Serio Martinez, and yet GGG would be the clear favorite if they fought.
It's always a shame when a title vaporizes when the champion loses and the guy who beats him either retires or moves out of the weight class. If I were Cotto, I wouldn't face Golovkin either, but this situation is robbing GGG of his ability to ascend to super-stardom.
Oh well, I just hope Cotto and Alvarez win this fall and that superfight can take place next year.
As far as GGG, a fight with Sam Soliman makes sense since Solomon beat Sturm and he now has a title belt. GGG can continue to increase his profile with performances like the one he put on last night.

If Kovalev wins tonight, he's has a deal to fight Bernard Hopkins in November.

Hopkins SD 12.
The great thing about this is that Stevenson ducked Kovalev and went to Showtime to fight Hopkins. Now Bernard is back on HBO fighting Kovalev and Stevenson is left out to dry.
I love the fight but I also think Bernard's chances were more secure if he fought Stevenson. Kovalev is a dangerous dude.
I might still give Bernard a slight edge but this is a tough one to call.
I love that as well. Screw that guy.
Still want to see Bernard, Kovalev or Ward beat him up though.

Light work for Kovalev.

Kovalev krushes another can. He needs to hire a graphic designer to overhaul that logo though. I keep thinking he's sponsored by K-Mart.

I can't figure out if Kov/Hop is going to be good or a boring trainwreck.

If it's boring, Bhop wins. If its exciting Kovelev is winning. Bhop is going to take Kovelev to school.
Yes. Literally was laughing out loud.

What if Hopkins really is an alien and everyone thinks he was just trying to be funny?
Sitting here watching with the fam and everyone is busting up. Sergey's a cool dude but that joke bombed hard. Hyped for Hopkins though.

Kovalev tried with that joke, that is what matters haha. I really want Hopkins to win that fight, history should be made.
Ooooo, this Rios Chaves fight has started off great

Of course Andre Ward isn't a fan of point deductions for holding, lol

This ref is drunk with power. He is too involved, although I'd wish someone would be this pro actice with Klitchko's fights.

lol I just pictured Rios and Chaves double teaming the ref and throwing him out of the ring Royal Rumble style to the ovation of the crowd and continuing the fight without him.

LOL The Argentinian guy.
I still say that ref should do a Klitschko fight.
