Saturday night, HBO returns to PPV with their first major marquee fight of 2017. Undefeated KO machine Gennady Golovkin (36-0; 33 KO) returns to PPV to take on the tough challenge of Daniel Jacobs (32-1; 29 KO).
For quite some time now, fight fans (and Team Golovkin) have been itching for a true high level, marquee test for the Kazakh fighter. In WBA Middleweight champion Jacobs, they have... not quite that. But closer than we’ve yet seen. Jacobs is undefeated in 7 years, which includes coming back from cancer. Like GGG, he’s a powerful puncher, who hasn’t seen the final bell since defeating Ishe Smith back in 2009.
