Main Event

golovkin-vs-wade-1920.jpg


"GGG" Gennady Golovkin (WBA Middleweight Champion - 16th title defense, IBF Middleweight Champion - 1st title defense) - 34-0-0 31 ko's vs Dominic Wade - 18-0-12 ko's

Backstory

GGG, last seen defeating David Lemieux by 8th round TKO and adding the IBF Middleweight title to his possession along with his WBA title. Looming on the horizon is a lucrative PPV superfight with current Lineal and WBC Middleweight Champion Saul Canelo Alvarez, who himself is busy preparing for his first title defense against former 140 champion Amir Khan. Until then GGG in order to keep his newly won IBF belt in his grasp will be facing their mandatory, Dominic Wade. He was originally supposed to be fighting Tureano Johnson but Tureano unfortunately went down with a shoulder injury. The undefeated Wade then got the call to step in for his first career title shot. Wade was last seen back in June on Shobox. He scored a 4th round KD en route to winning a split decision over former IBF Middlewweight champion Sam Soliman.

Roman "Chocolatito" Gonzalez (WBC Flyweight Champion - 4th title defense) - 44-0-0 38 ko's vs McWilliams Arroyo - 16-2-0 14 ko's

Backstory


Things are on the up and up for the man they call Chocolatito. A protege of the great Alexis Arguello, he has taken up the mantle of being Nicaragua's top and most visible boxing representative. A P4P fighter as well as strong claims to being the best Flyweight in the world. Not a small feat by any means in a woefully underrated and competitive division, He was last seen on the undercard for GGG-Lemieux, impressively stopping former 2 division champion Brian Viloria in 9 rounds. He will be taken on Puerto Rican , McWilliams Arroyo. For Arroyo, this will be his second attempt in trying to become a world champion. He previously lost a razor thin split decision to current IBF Flyweight Champion Amnat Ruenrong in a very rough fight that most observers that could have gone his way.
