Former unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin 39-1-1 (34 KOs) demolished the previously undefeated Steve Rolls 19-0 (10 KOs) in the fourth of a scheduled 12 rounder at New York’s, Madison Square Garden last night..
Returning for the first time since the Canelo defeat last September, the 37 year old boxed impressively under the tutelage of Jonathan Banks, closing the show with a clinical left hook that put Rolls over and out for the full count with a minute left in the round.. Rolls fought defiantly, and landed his own share of clean punches before succumbing to the former 4 belt champion.. Time of stoppage was 2.09 of the 4th.. Gennady offered great praise to Rolls following the bout, but reaffirmed his intentions of securing a third match with Saul Alvarez.. Golovkin held versions of the middleweight championship from 2010 all the way until last year, many aficionados still hold the opinion that the Kazakh fighter had won both Álvarez fights and was twice the unfortunate victim of Cinco de Mayo Las Vegas judging..
