WBA middleweight
champion Golovkin (28-0, 25 KO’s) is getting ready to fight an opponent he has
never seen fight before in 33-year-old fringe contender Adama (22-3, 16 KO’s)
on February 1st in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Golovkin says he’s never seen him fight
on video, and it doesn’t look like he’s even interested in seeing any of
Adama’s past fight. You can’t really blame Golovkin though, because Osumanu
Adama is a guy that his promoters at K2 has selected for him to keep busy in
early 2014 while he waits for more interesting fights to possibly open up for
him.
After the Adama
fight,Gennady Golovkin could be facing Kirkland in April. That’s a match-up
comparable to Golovkin’s recent annihilation of Curtis Stevens. James Kirkland
is plenty tough, but no match for a fighter like Golvkin skill-wise.
When asked by Hustleboss if he is familiar with
Adama or if he’s ever seen video of his past fights, Gennady Golovkin said “No
I don’t know. I never see.”
Osumanu Adama seems to be the next sacrificial lamb
for Golovkin to slaughter. He’s already knocked out his last 15 opponents
dating back 5 years, and Adama would appear to be number 16. The only thing
that Adama has going for him is that he’s never been knocked out during his
12-year pro career, which means that Adama may end up taking a ton of
punishment if he’s able to go the distance with Golovkin. It might be better if
he does get stopped because if he has to eat head and body shots for 12 rounds,
Adama is going to be in bad shape after this fight is over. What makes it
likely that Adama won’t make it the distance in this fight is that Gennady Golovkin
will go to the body, and it doesn’t matter how good Adama’s chin is in that
case. He’ll go down if he gets hit hard enough to the midsection.
Osumanu Adama has one notable win on his resume over
Roman Karmazin two years ago in stopping him in the 9th round. Other than that
win, Osumanu Adama has beaten mostly
obscure opposition. Last year he fought IBF middleweight champion Daniel Geale
and was easily beaten in a 12 round unanimous decision loss.
