By Chris Robinson

On Saturday night, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin stopped former titlist Daniel Geale inside of three rounds in front of over 8,572 partisans inside of Madison Square Garden.

Following the match, Golovkin (30-0, 27 KO’s) expressed an urgency to unify the belts at 160 pounds.

“My focus is at 160 right now,” Golovkin stated. “I want a unification fight. For me, it’s very important, who’s the best in the middleweight division? Who are the champions right now? A lot of champions. Miguel Cotto, Peter Quillin, Sam Soliman. I’m ready for everybody.”

Of the aforementioned trio, it is Cotto who stands out most to the Kazakhstan native.

“Miguel Cotto,” said Golovkin. “100%, I respect him, I respect his style. This is the biggest fight for everybody. For TV, for my fans, for everybody. For boxing.”

Moments ago, inside of Madison Square in New York, heavyweight contender Bryant Jennings (19-0, 10 KO’s) pulled out a split-decision over Cuba’s Mike Perez (20-1-1, 12 KO’s) to inch closer to his goal of a world title.

The fight was relatively uneventful, with referee Harvey Dock ultimately playing a huge role in the outcome of the match by deducting a point from Perez in the final round for pushing Jennings’ head south. Scores of 115-112 and 114-113 were read in Jennings’ favor, overriding the 114-113 tally for Perez.

Stay tuned for more updates.

It’s been well over a year since welterweight prospect Joseph Elegele’s last match.

Facing off with Javier Molina inside of The Hangar in Costa Mesa, Calif. in March of 2013, Elegele dropped a competitive unanimous decision after eight rounds of action.

Scores reading 78-72 and 77-75 twice may have told the tale of a good scrap, but the tallies did little to showcase just how disappointing of an evening that was for Elegele.

The following months have certainly been a test of the Melbourne, Fl. native’s resolve and Elegele admits that sometimes his belief has wavered.
