[Boxing] Golovkin vs. Szeremeta IBF Middleweight Title

[FinneysTrueVision]

On December 18th, GGG will make his long awaited return to the boxing ring to face his mandatory challenger Kamil Szeremeta. GGG will be making the 21st defense of his middleweight title. These are not consecutive defenses since he already lost to Canelo but it is still an impressive record nonetheless.

The odds are not yet available but GGG should be a huge favorite. Szeremeta is undefeated but the most notable opponent on his record is former champion Kassim Ouma who was a decade past his prime. He also only has 5 knockouts in 21 fights.

I expect GGG to end the fight with an early knockout. Anything less would be a disapointment and would show that maybe GGG is no longer an elite level fighter.

Yeah, definitely this should be in the bag for Golovkin that is if he still has it as age is catching up with him. And this is another cherry pick fight, but I'm not surprised if anyone doesn't want to fight GGG even at his age.

In any case though, I will add the link here are other boxing fans might want to see it officially though,

Get busy fight in 2020 for GGG?

I'm not familiar with Szeremeta, and I'm sure majority of boxing gamblers are. Is he the mandatory though? I thought one of the Charlo twins since they just won recently. Probably if GGG get the win here, he will probably facing Charlo in the future. And I doubt that GGG will face Canelo next, Canelo is a free lancer now and he said that there's no need for a third fight with GGG.

To be fair with Szeremeta, he is a former EU Middleweight champion and is undefeated. His name has been in the discussion even prior to the pandemic and he is the mandatory for GGG's belt.

However, he doesn't have the power, as per boxrec he has a 23.18% KO, https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/629775

So he is not in the caliber of GGG and it could be just an easy fight. GGG though is like 37 or 38 years old so we really don't know if he still can pull the trigger.

Just trying out to compare the numbers then i dont see any holes for GGG to be defeated by Szeremeta. Just like what others been saying that im not that much familiar with this boxer.

Trying to see the stats that this one had 20 fights with no loss but if we do compared with GGG's 40 fights with 1 loss then having KO 83.33% thing compared to 23.18% then

its evidently that theres soo much huge gap when it comes to power and with the age of 37 or 38 then i dont see that he had just stepped down when it comes to his boxing style and caliber.

But we should also remember that GGG last fight's performance was not that impressive as well and he is not getting younger so I think Szeremeta have a chance to upset GGG if bookies would put him as the favorite of this bout.

No sportsbooks yet listing this match. Once their odds are up, we will know which fighter is the favourite here. Sometimes it is also in the preparation that will have impact in the performance inside the ring. If one has rigid training before the fight while the other is having a laid back training, then we know for sure who will win this fight. But right now, we don't have that info yet.

[Kelvinid]

Seeing on the stats both fighter, I'm not sure if he is the best candidate for GGG since we know how hard a puncher he is but we can't make final words for Szeremeta if we can't see him fighting against GGG.

Szeremeta is still young and less experience when compared to GGG. Most gamblers will surely put their bets into GGG, Of course, I do the same. But this fight could give benefits for Szeremeta, he has a fewer chance to win but he probably also learns a lot from someone better than him and to improve in the future.

@zhea, not all fights that do happen to a fighter would always end up on a good performance.There would be always some fight that would be considered not impressive but still do able to manage
to win even though it isnt really on things as it should way people do expect.He's not getting younger which is true but as i had said earlier that he had still that
caliber and wont still be taken easily if you as his opponent.

As of favorite then GGG will be my bet which isnt really on doubt that bookmakers will be seeing the same.

[GreatArkansas]

 
Here is the boxing record of these two boxers.
Gennadiy Golvkin got the advantages of total fights and wins, but what got my attention is the undefeated record of Kamil Szeremeta. But the height is favor on Gennadiy Golvkin.
I'm on Szeremeta this time with small bet only, young with undefeated record.

[robelneo]

I expect GGG to end the fight with an early knockout. Anything less would be a disapointment and would show that maybe GGG is no longer an elite level fighter.

I also expect that I have to check on Youtube to see who is this  Szeremeta and what he is capable of, he is not a spectacular fighter only a few knockouts although he is undefeated, not the kind of fight that will earn Golovkin a big purse, we should expect GGG to hand Szeremeta his first loss, hopefully, age is not catching up with GGG and he will win by a knock out so we can see another Alvarez Golovkin trilogy.

Well we can only look at GGG's last performance, and I will agree that as time goes by, his performance is dipping to say the least. But with this kind of opponent, I think the pressure is on GGG, he need to show us something big to be in the talks for the best Middleweight of all time.

Although his record has a lost already to Canelo and I do hope that he will get his chance against him after this. No offense to Szeremeta, but he hasn't fought a fighter like GGG so he really be prepared to received a lot of punishes, and make sure that he won't go down with a body shot because GGG has one of the best.

It will be obvious that GGG will be the betting odds, I will reckon it will open @1.15-1.20.

[coin-investor]

I just notice there are very few big fights this year, some of them suppose to be big fights are cancelled like the Inoue - Casimero, Wilder- Fury fights instead what we are seeing now are just tune-up fights, and that includes this fight.
Golovkin will just knock this guy out, you need to be a big puncher like Canelo Alvarez because Golovkin will not respect if you only have few knocks out in your credits and no big names  in your list

[Darker45]

This is obviously a Golovkin fight, but I probably won't place a bet on this as it seems the betting odds so far are not enticing enough. As quite expected, GGG is the huge favorite and the largely unknown Szeremeta the underdog.

An ML bet on Golovkin winning the fight is only at 1.03, at least as offered by Bet365. That doesn't sound worth risking at all. So far, I haven't found odds on Asian total, winning method, or round range. If I do find some nice odds on these, I might also bet a little amount.

Yes, much better if we just wait for the outcome of this fight, not attractive because of his opponents are not known to us.

That low? damn, perhaps as the fight gets closer, there might be some nice odds on sport bookies. And perhaps we might find it bit enticing like what rounds will GGG will win. But ML bet is not that good even if you bet huge amount, might be better to play it on dice with at least 90% chance of winning. 

[bonjouros]

Golovkin really has an advantage in this upcoming fight especially in terms of experience and titles that he held. But he should take this fight seriously if he didn't want to experience an upset as I am pretty sure that Kamil is very eager to win this fight in order to create a good record and get his first title.

Kamil is not a hard puncher base on his record but he has a perfect record so far, let's just see whether what tactics that he is going to use in order to outsmart the veteran Golovkin. The odds of this fight will surely to favor Golovkin once it will be available already.

This is indeed for Golovkin and others do still have doubts on who would be the favorite? Its clear that Szeremeta would be the underdog so its expected on whose
clear the favorite and when it comes to odds then i do already expect it would be on 1.03 or 1.1 maximum which i dont really see for it to be worth for someone to take
bets.You wouldnt know if there would be some sort of upset or what into this fight but its unlikely to happen considering that GGG is way too far off better with this
underdog.

That lack of power is worrying I will admit that I do not know much about this Szeremeta guy but GGG is not going to be worried at all about his punching power and that is a great disadvantage in a boxing match, we know that those that have punching power even if they are not the best boxers can always turn things around with a single punch and win that way but this guy does not have that and will have to rely on scoring more points than GGG.

So GGG can choose between two different strategies, to go after him since he knows he is not going to get injured in the process and go for the KO or just fight a technical fight and punish his opponent whenever he makes a mistake, all in all this should be an easy fight for GGG.

Oh how come you say that?, Golovkin is not like that. A record is a record and Szeremeta works his way up. It's an achievement already that Szeremeta will now face the boxer he is targeting wherein before he's just part of the undercard where Golovkin is the main event.

Golovkin even disrespects Alvarez now, and the feeling is mutual to Alvarez too because of the doping claims.

Szeremeta is surely the underdog here and everyone knows it. But no need to disrespect his hard work just because of the few knockouts and names involved on his record.

Here are some highlights of Kamil Szeremeta

His fight against Edwin Palacios, in which he won

So decide for yourself if he has a fighting chance against GGG (regardless of age).
