The terror of the middleweight division, Gennady Golovkin, 27-0, 24 KO’s, stalked Matthew Macklin, 29-5, 20 KO’s, for two rounds before finding a left hook to the body in the third round, ending the fight. Macklin was game, but Golovkin is a beast in the ring and he couldn’t get anything done. The left hook that Gennady landed was so vicious and Macklin was paralyzed by it, in extreme pain on the floor.

Golovkin has been compared to Mike Tyson and it’s a fair comparison. He has devastating power and has an aura of invincibility. It’s hard to imagine any other middleweight standing up to his punches. Sergio Martinez may be next on the chopping block and as good as Martinez is, Golovkin is too strong for him.
