Gennady Golovkin will fulfill another ambition when he defends his WBC and IBF middleweight titles against Kell Brook on Saturday.The undefeated Kazakh will fight for the first time in the UK, years after a potential match-up with Britains Darren Barker fell through and having defeated Martin Murray and Matthew Macklin overseas.His status as the main attraction at Londons sold-out O2 Arena is also the latest demonstration of his popularity around the world. Despite years of struggling for recognition and his fearsome reputation meaning he is widely avoided to this day, Golovkin is one of boxings biggest draws.A defining fight and the match-up he wants with Mexicos Saul Alvarez have so far eluded him, but in fighting in England, Golovkin can continue to build the reputation it once looked like he may never have.I like the UK fans, Golovkin, 34, sauid. People in the UK understand boxing. Theres a lot of history and tradition.Every time I told [promoter] Tom Loeffler, Please, give me a chance to fight in the UK. I have a couple of fights, with Martin Murray, with Matthew Macklin, [but] I want to fight here, in the UK.For me, its huge. I want the fight with Billy Joe Saunders and the fight with [Chris] Eubank [Jnr]. We lost time with the Eubank fight but we have a contract with Kell Brook. I said: Im ready.Ive had fights in Kazakhstan, in Germany, in Panama. This is the boxing world. The UK is huge for me. There are some great champions from the UK. People understand boxing here.Its like Mexico. There are true fans. I cant just stay in Kazakhstan. I cant stay in the United States. I want to fight all over the world. I want big fights.The devastating and widely feared Golovkins fight with Brook, who steps up from welterweight, comes with Alvarez appearing reluctant to fight him and Mayweather similarly showing no interest despite him representing what most would consider his greatest test.At 34, and with the aggressive style of fighting generally more suited to a younger man, Golovkin is short of time to build a truly lasting legacy, but he said: My goal is all the belts in the middleweight division. Everybody wants all the belts. Thats the dream for everybody.We worked out a good deal but he [Eubank] didnt want the fight with me. Its not my problem. Im taking my time. I have time.Kell is a champion and I respect him. I saw a couple of his fights. He has different speed, different movement and different timing. Its not easy. Yes, its a different size for us, Im a little bit bigger, but right now I cant say hes an easy fight for me because hes a very good fighter. Air Max Goedkoop Online .

Robredo, ranked No. 16, bounced back from an upset loss to Leonardo Mayer in the second round of the Royal Guard Open in Chile last week to down Carreno Busta in 1 hour, 25 minutes. On a day filled mostly with qualifying matches, fifth-seeded Marcel Granollers of Spain also entered the second with a 7-5, 3-6, 6-2 win over Aljaz Bedene of Slovenia, while Guido Pella of Argentina defeated Guillermo Garcia-Lopez of Spain 7-6 (6), 6-4 to advance.Gary Neville will be expected to finish the season at Valencia after steadying what appeared to be a sinking ship at the Mestalla, says Sky Sports pundit Terry Gibson. Nevilles upturn in fortunes continued with a third win in a week, Sundays 2-1 victory at Granada, despite his side riding their luck.Valencias victory followed their first league win under Neville at the 10th attempt last weekend when they beat Espanyol 2-1 and then lashed Rapid Vienna 6-0 in the Europa League on Thursday. Goals from Daniel Parejo and substitute Santi Mina helped them record back-to-back league wins for just the second time this season and with confidence high in the Valencia camp, Gibson feels Neville has now earned the right to decide if he wants to stay or go in the summer. La Liga Weekly - 22nd February It was similar to the week before for Valencia when Espanyol missed a lot of chances. Defensively Gary Neville will be looking at ways to tighten up, Gibson told La Liga weekly podcast.They looked good in midweek when they beat Rapid Vienna 6-0 - they were five up at half-time - and on that evidence it looked like the Valencia that were used to seeing.He would be worried that they give away too many chances, but at the same time it does buy him some breathing time to get on with his job and without the threat of the sack every game and without the press hounding him on a daily basis. Highlights from Valencias 2-1 win away at Granada We might just see a regular Valencia. Two weeks ago there were issues about regulation and rightly so - it was 12 games without a win in La Liga. They were four points above relegation at the time, but back-to-back wins takes them 10 points clear of relegation.ddddddddddddSo no relegation issues, no major crisis for Gary Neville. Scoring goals - 10 goals in a week. I believe he will be alright and I think he will stay until the end of the season and I think he will salvage a reputation that could have been damaged had they lost to Espanyol. I think everything will be alright at Valencia now. I think Gary Neville will steer them safely through the rest of the season and they could make really good progress in the Europa League.They got hammered for getting thrashed by Barcelona, but they did get to the semi-final the Copa Del Rey. Neville was appointed manager until the summer The England coach and former Manchester United defender was appointed manager until the summer and Gibson says if Nevilles side maintain their current form, he can walk away a proud man.They can sit down in the summer and see if Gary Neville wants to continue with the job or whether Valencia want to go for one of the more experienced managers being linked with the job, he said.At the end of it, I think he can walk away from a job well done and most importantly for him, huge lessons learnt, a crash course in his first six months as a manager.
