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.

Joseph Elegele: ‘I’m a better fighter than these guys that are getting airtime’

By Chris Robinson

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.

Earlier tonight from the UIC Pavilion in Chicago, Ill., unbeaten welterweight prospect Semajay Thomas improved to 4-0 with 2 knockouts after overwhelming Charon Spain and scoring a first round TKO victory.

Thomas trains under the tutelage of Ronnie Shields in Houston, Tex. yet still finds time to swing through Las Vegas for some top level work. Check out some of our highlights of Thomas over the past few years below.

Later tonight, from the Fantasy Springs Casino in Indio, Calif., once-beaten junior middleweight prospect Daquan Arnett (11-1, 7 KO’s) will return to the ring when he faces off with well-traveled Angel Hernandez (16-16-1, 13 KO’s).

The melee marks the Florida native’s first match since his January points loss to Eddie Gomez in Brooklyn. Arnett fought a valiant match against the fellow prospect but he was dropped in the seventh round and was simply outhustled in too many of the scheduled ten rounds.
