TBD for Feb or Mar 2020

Don't hate: Szeremeta is GGG's mandatory opponent. And unfortunately, some fans won't understand and will accuse Golovkin of cherry-picking. However, Golovkin has been campaigning hard for a trilogy fight against Canelo Alvarez, but the Mexican star's team has been resistant.
Give him a break: This is a good fight for GGG following his war in October against Sergiy Derevyanchenko. He shouldn't have to face a threatening opponent every time he fights. I'd like to see him fight three times in 2020. Hopefully, he'll get Canelo but if not, look for possible showdowns with Charlo or Demetrius Andrade.
Motivation: It plays a major role in any endeavor; especially boxing. How motivated is Golovkin for this fight? After all, he's had his heart set on facing Canelo. Will we see Golovkin struggle against Kamil?
Busy: From Sep 22, 2018 to Oct 5, 2019, Szeremeta fought four times.
Deceptive? Szeremeta has only 5 KOs but 3 of them were in his last 5 bouts. Has he made adjustments recently? It should be safe to assume he's a greater KO threat than the typical fighter with 5 KOs in 21 bouts.
