You also have Dmitry Bivol on the card who's young and probably going to be fighting Ward/Kova in the next year or two. You could hype Bivol as the future heir of the division, as one of the boxings best young stars etc. (Which I believe him to be).
And then you also have Guillermo Rigondeaux on the card, yet another pound for pound great. His opponent isn't the most exciting but still.
This main card is great, it's amazing I haven't heard more than a peep about it though.

Ah I wussed out and stayed home. I was one foot out the door all morning but I decided the more responsible thing to do was just hang back. Would've been a sight though.

I'd love to go see it live but I'm on the east coast and been way too busy for the past month. I also just got done shelling out a few thousand dollars in damage that my home owner insurance didn't cover. I'm a baller on a budget right now without the balling but I will be ordering the PPV and watching it on the big screen (likely with the commentary muted if it gets too bad).

This would have been a perfect fight to go to, under the radar of the casuals. It's been ages since I've been to a big fight.
Lol.. my wife was frowning the whole time is was looking, she wanted to go, but she had an engagement this afternoon, so we would have to have left late in the day.

This is the fight. This is good stuff. I hope it lives up to the hype, but honestly, I thought the first fight was going to be slower and not as exciting and boy, was I wrong!

Fuck yes to all these. Big fight feels like you wouldn't believe right now.

You know, I've never cared for one's origin or appearance when they get into the ring (choice and behaviour is paramount, which is why I can respect Wlad and Crawford even though they come from opposite sides of the globe). I don't care that Golovkin is from Kazakhstan, I care that he's damn good and damn entertaining. The same can be said for Terence Crawford (the good part, the talented part; the entertaining part I'm still waiting on lol),
Who gives a flying damn about race (I have skin, by the way), or nationality (I come from a place that used to be named another place, occupied by other people, does that change anything?)? A person's a person, end of story. The whole point of the ring is that once you step in there, nothing matters but what your brains and muscles can do. Skin colour isn't worn like some arcane armour and a national flag isn't donned like a cape so that one can fly around the ring. The one thing I've always loved about boxing is seeing what ability does, it reminds us, if anything, that we are all capable of being more than what we are, and in doing so, should also remind us of how much we all have in common. I mean, I guess people can get jacked up about those superficial things, but it really just separates us as a species, rather than define us for our collective merits.
Nevertheless I agree with you that this fight is very appealing, due to skill level, animosity and the intrigue that has been building between the two camps.
