GGG gonna knock him the fuck out. Proska is awkward and hits hard, but I'm not convinced he is all that, and Hope seemed to stun him in the first fight.

Im hoping Golovkin gets a big fight should he beat Proksa. When you can it as hard as he can, he has a chance against any middleweight in the world. He's not as good as some people make him out to be, he's slow of hand and foot and he doesn't have a great work rate. I do think the likes of Martinez and possibly pirog would be too quick and skillful for him, but GGG's got the potential to be in some cracking fights with the likes of Martinez, the Geale-Sturm winner (if its Geale ) or Chavez.

Good post but Sergio is open to the right hand so I'd give GGG a shot.
For me, Proska is made for Golovkin and he'll get battered. So I'd like to see, in this order of preferability;
GGG Vs Pirog
GGG Vs Quillin/HNDNJ winner
GGG Vs Sturm/Geale winner
Any of those would be great, the best fighting the best might well elevate the current 160lb division from one with great potential to a competitive division of real quality.

Agreed.
In fact I don't even think he'll really dominate this fight either, though I do think he'll nail an eye-catching stoppage at some point in the mid-to-late rounds. I know the Kerry Hope fiasco has really put a dent in Proksa's standing, but his performances against Sylvester and Navascues were good enough to suggest - to me anyways - that he'll give GGG a decent degree of bother for a certain amount of time.
Golovkin doesn't throw much in combination, and for the most part he leads with wide roundhouse-hooks while often looking pretty vulnerable to being countered. He displays some nice defensive moves here and there, but generally not when he's forced to really pressure his man like he probably will be here. Thus I think it might be pretty back and forth in the early going as Golovkin attempts to find his rhythm and gives Proksa ample opportunity to counter. Hope was a fellow southpaw and generally made that fight even messier than it otherwise would have been, stylistically he's more difficult for Proksa than a dude like Golovkin in my opinion, but obviously the salient point is that Golovkin is just a hell of a lot better than Hope is(sorry Bryn).
Ultimately though I think Golovkin will get to him. GGG's power is usually sustained for the duration of a fight, and with the Pole not exactly being the bastion of great defense and usually leaving his chin hanging I think it's only a matter of time before he gets clocked cleanly.

What the FUCK are you talking about?
I don't think hes as big a puncher as people make out, sure he has an impressive knock-out ratio against journeymen and stopped a long gone Sylvester but I've seen him land some bombs and boxers walk through them. His ratio will rapidly decrease as he moves up in levels imo.

Kudos to HBO for this one. I cannot recall another fight where they headlined a Sat night show with 2 guys so little known in the US.
I think he's getting beaten but I hope Proksa can land his best shots first so we have our answer about how well Golovkin can take 'em!
