Middleweight champ Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, (35-0, 32 KO’s) defends his title against undefeated British boxing star and welterweight titleholder Kell Brook, (36-0, 25 KO’s) live Saturday, September 10 at 5:30PM on HBO.
Right here, you can check out the official HBO Boxing Golovkin vs. Brook preview and promo video. Also that date, HBO Boxing will air the Roman Gonzalez vs. Carlos Cuadras fight.
That fight will be shown at 10pm, live from Los Angeles. Chocolatito is moving up yet again to another weight division to take on a talented titleholder, so that’s an interesting challenge there.
As for Golovkin vs. Brook, it follows the precedent set by Canelo Alvarez — you know, being a middleweight titlist, and defending it against a big name British welterweight moving up two weight divisions. It’s unfortunate, but at least with GGG he should put on a good show. Hopefully it all leads to Golovkin vs. Alvarez sooner than later, but the fight should have happened already in place of bouts such as those.
Stay tuned for more updates on Golovkin vs. Brook in the month ahead.
