Bleacher Report Predictions:
Kelsey McCarson: “Golovkin Should Have No Problem Steamrolling Szeremeta within the first few rounds.”
Golovkin, KO, Rd. 2
Lyle Fitzsimmons: “Perhaps instantly, or perhaps after Golovkin gets loose for a few rounds and lets the DAZN broadcast crew work through its entire checklist of breathless on-air bullet points.”
Golovkin, KO, Rd. 7
Tom Taylor: “There will come a day when father time catches up with “GGG.” It’s not going to be this Friday. Instead, he’ll remind the world that he still has C-4 packed into both of his gloves with precisely the kind of vintage KO his team is hoping for.”
Golovkin, KO, Rd. 4
