Credit to Geale for taking the fight as no one else at middleweight wants Golovkin but it’s a shame Gennady’s best years are being wasted. The mooted Chavez Jr. fight at 168 was my most anticipated fight of 2014.
Was some knockout though. Imagine if Golovkin didn’t get hit flush beforehand? Geale would have done a Curtis Stevens.

Frank Maloney to undergo gender reassignment
Lennox Lewis's former promoter reveals he's to live as a woman called "Kellie". From the BBC.
Well, bloody hell.
Very brave announcement. If it was April 1st I'd suspect a wind up.

Congrats to Carl Frampton on becoming Britain's newest world champion.
Says a lot about the machinations of boxing that he beat a chap who he'd already stopped to win the European crown, but who then got a world title shot before he did.
Sets up a potentially intriguing domestic unification clash with Scott Quigg who holds (one of) the WBA's versions of the super-bantam title.

"ji" is the Hepburn system which I do not use. In the Nipponsiki system, "ji" is "zi".
"Hazime no ippo" means "the 1st step". The 1st step for what?

Completely forgot that Groves was fighting tonight. A big points win.

Why on Earth are Froch and Groves still appearing on national radio (Talksport yesterday) having digs at each other. It's now just boring.

Kovalev outpoints Hopkins
From the BBC.
Old Father Time succumbs to a man eighteen years his junior.
Hopkins still has the satisfaction of being he first fighter to take the heavy-handed Russian the full distance.
Hard to see what more a 49 year old (18 months Mike Tyson's senior) stands to gain by boxing on into his sixth decade, but knowing Hopkins he probably will anyway.

Hopkins is supposedly a very smart guy and has only added to his wealth over the years but also proud/egomaniac and he might think that isn't the way to go out
I reckon he'd be mad to go on

A tough fight to watch. Kovalev just kept his range and picked his shots. He knew he was bigger, quicker and stronger and that he could easily win if he didnt do anything silly. He just bullied Hopkins who did a great job of slipping and boxing defensively. Hopkins couldnt win that fight unless Kovalev ran on to a punch and he, smartly, avoided doing so. Hard to watch an old man dismantled in that way as it wasnt remotely competitive.

Just selling the fight but he did come across as a bit of tit last year during the Stevenson buildup.
Though how this fight is PPV is beyond me. Both guys were sparked out last year, Bellew by a Super Middleweight and neither of them would last a few rounds with the current Cruiserweight champions.
