    Forgot to mention - it was nice to see classy respectful interviews from Walters, Donaire and Golovkin. Such a change from the usual sh*te we have to put up with.

    Donaire and Walters' interviews were a credit to them and the sport!

    It's an awful pity that Dmitry Pirog couldn't stay fit, could have posed a threat to GGG. It would have been an intriguing fight either way.

    I find the Golovkin interviews cringy. His english isn't the best and it's like he's answered questions from a phrasebook.But at least he's making an effort and try to connect with fans. I've a growing disliking towards Max Kellerman, thought he was fairly disrespectful to Donaire after the fight.

    I know where you're coming from as regards GGG. He's so stiff and robotic in interviews. Bit like his boxing style;)

    But that's because his English is so limited.
    You can tell he's a decent fella and not into spouting endless sh!te.
    That other stuff is just sooooooooooooooo boring.

    Completely forgot about him, he has been so inactive.
    He certainly would be a test if he stayed active and fit.

    It's helped massively with his promotion this though. Even the manner in which his 'good boy' comment became a catchphrase shows how effective even broken english is for connecting with the fans.

    Agree on Kellerman. His lack of respect for the beaten fighter in the post-fight interviews infuriates me. He gets paid off the back of their work, someone needs to remind him of that.

    Yeah he's had bad problems with the back, hard to see him making a proper return as he's not young.
