Golovkin fires a shot at Geale<\/p><\/div>\n

By Joseph Rodriguez<\/p>\n

In what was supposed to be Gennady Golovkin\u2019s toughest test to date, this was not. Adding to what is becoming a Mike Tyson-esque aura, Golovkin knocked out Australia\u2019s Daniel Geale in the third round Saturday night at Madison Square Garden.<\/p>\n

Golovkin stated post fight with Max Kellerman that he used the first round to feel out his opponent, figure his tactics, and quote, \u201cuse the second and third round to show you.\u201d And every single fight he is showing the American public that he is must see TV and showing up his competition.<\/p>\n

When going over the knockout, Kellerman described \u201cyou exchanged right hands but he is the one that went down, he hit you cleanly,\u201d to which Golovkin responded \u201cthis is my style like Mexican style, this is fight, this is not game. I love fight.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kellerman asked Golovkin to clarify. \u201cYou mean aggressive and action seeking? Golovkin then responded \u201cAbsolutely and every time.\u201d When asked who he would want to fight next Golovkin responded, \u201cYou need amazing show just call me, I stay here waiting for everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n

Golovkin added that he desires unification of the 160 lb. middleweight division, which would include a fight with Miguel Cotto. Golovkin seems to understand that the most effective way he will be able to build his fan base and sell tickets is not through his words but his actions. One quote comes to mind when thinking of Golovkin\u2019s state of mind, in the 2000 film the Gladiator, when asked what he wanted from Proximo, Maximus responded, \u201cYou ask me what I want. I too, want to stand before the Emperor as you did.\u201d Proximo stated \u201cI wasn\u2019t the best because I killed quickly. I was the best because the crowd loved me\u201d To which Maximus responded, \u201cI will win the crowd. I will give them something they have never seen before.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although what Golovkin is doing has been seen before, he is definitely wining the crowd and doing his best to try and show us something we have never seen before. In this era of boxing when fighters are more concerned about protecting their records, Golovkin seems to be going into every fight with one question on his mind, \u201cAre you not entertained?\u201d<\/p>\n

In an uneventful heavyweight fight that did little to elevate the status of both fighters, American Bryant Jennings won a split decision over Mike Perez. Both fighters have a counter-punching style, and in boxing sometime you need a good dance partner to make good show, which this fight clearly was not. The fight was close; no complaints about the decision, which could have went either way. The only thing unanimous is no one will be calling for a rematch, and Wladimir Klitschko\u2019s reign seems indefinite at this point.<\/p>\n
