Rolls should have a 100x bonus IMO.

[PICK EM CREW]

Had to think seriously about whether to put this one in... no title on the line, and an almost absurd mismatch on paper - the only real intrigue is that Rolls is unbeaten and Golovkin hasn't fought since the Canelo loss and has hit his 37th year. In the end it was the fact that GGG is still considered a P4P talent according to most sources and remains one of the stars of the sport that swung it. Besides - as we saw only a few days ago - anything can happen.

Good luck gentlemen.

I should have saved my x3 for fights like this.

You're probably right, man. As I mentioned above I wasn't sure at all if I should put this one in, but at least we got more points riding on the method and detail than we did last year... 'sides, Rolls ain't actually that much bigger an underdog than Ruiz was per the bookies (though he damn well should be)... anything can happen.

Not that it will make a difference in the outcome but another factor is size. Rolls is the naturally bigger guy. Golovkin has never fought above 161 and Rolls regularly fights at 168 and has fought as high as 174.

Slick Golovkin will want to take Rolls some rounds to showcase his skill
