Two world title fights will be featured on the undercard of the Gennadiy “GGG” Golovkin – Kamil Szeremeta IBF middleweight title fight. Undefeated super middleweight contenders Ali Akhmedov (16-0, 12 KOs) and Carlos Góngora (18-0, 13 KOs) will rumble for the vacant IBO super middleweight world title and unbeaten WBA female super featherweight world champion Hyun Mi Choi (17-0-1, 4 KOs) will be looking to extend her 12-year title reign against Calista Silgado (19-11-3 14 KOs).
The GGG-Szeremeta will take place Friday, Dec. 18, behind closed doors at Hard Rock Live at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, FL. It will be streamed live exclusively on DAZN beginning at 5pm ET in over 200 countries and territories.
Also added to the card is super middleweight contender John Ryder (28-5 16 KOs), who takes on Michael Guy (12-5-1 5 KOs) over ten rounds.
Reshat Mati (8-0 6 KOs) has been an exciting addition to the paid ranks, and the Albanian Bear fights for the ninth time as a pro and unbeaten Californian 18-year-old Jalan Walker (6-0 6 KOs) fights on US soil for the first time against Rafael Reyes (18-11 14 KO’s) having boxed in Mexico six times since his debut in November 2019.
This is gonna be a hard fight for GGG since he hasn’t looked too good lately. Wouldn’t be surprised if GGG loses.
Arturo: i wld love for him to put it to GGG but i dont think this descent to mediocre fighter is gonna be able to do that to him. GGG caught wind of a lesser stag and chose that one. He shld be in there with a Charlo, Andrade, or even give d’chenko the rematch he deserves
You are spot on. In the Goldern Era of boxing reporters had access to the training camps and issued daily reports. Today one can only guess.
GGG is playing safe. Facing Szeremeta with a perfect record 21 – 0 against poorer competition. A guy that is shorter, slower and without outstanding technique, this must end in another KO victory for GGG.
It still upsets me that GGG’s victory against Canelo in the first fight will never be shown in the record books. That alone should have prevented him to step up in the second fight.
From Brook onwords GGG has faded, and in my opinion a faded GGG won the first fight vs Canelo. GGG is still extremely exciting to watch, but still, it might be a good time to call it a career.
Zockerbit: agreed. I think GGG’s days r numbered and this is why he is choosing his opponents carefully. Agreed that GGG put it to Canelo their first fight. That second fight GGG looked off in a big way. Gassed and confused. He relied on a simple Jab n defense to keep in the fight. I think a fight wit charlo and andrade and then call it a career.
GGG is obviously not willing to make the big fights. At least Canelo face guys that we have heard of. GGG is a fine fighter but will always be remembered for chasing Canelo instead of securing his own legacy. Abel taught GGG a style to make big fights and earn big money. Not have his career defined by 1 fight.
Golovkin will hurt him badly.
GGG needs to hurry the fuck up and get another bigpay against Canelo while he can he will lose again but at least get paid if he fights Booboob or Charbroil hes gonna lose
