Prediction
There's not much mystery approximately this fight. Golovkin is a pressure fighter and a true elite-level finisher. The untrue to that style is to have enough grand to discourage your opponent from unloading with their biggest weapons. Szeremeta has no true grand to speak of, showing no real sect to consistently knock out even low-end opponents. That leaves Szeremeta with one path to victory: a flawless strictly boxing performance. Golovkin is too good of a fighter to get outworked over 12 rounds by a guy who can't hurt him. This necessity be an easy night of work for the champ. Pick: Golovkin via TKO3
