"This is very good for me, maybe it's good for my fans because maybe it won't be two rounds," said Golovkin. "He's [Monroe] not like an open fighter. He has like Cuban style. He's a good boxer, like (Guillermo) Rigondeaux. And (Erislandy) Lara. Mabye difficult for ‘Canelo,' maybe difficult for me."
