On Saturday, Jan. 19, inside of the Theatre at Madison Square Garden, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin improved his record to 25-0 with 22 knockouts after a systematic 7th round TKO over a brave and bloodied Gabriel Rosado.

Golovkin was in control throughout, as fans will now hope for matches with the likes of lineal champion Sergio Martinez, WBO champion Peter Quillin, and former champion Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.

Rosado had moved up from 154 pounds for the match and will surely have many opportunities awaiting him in the division upon his return. The North Philadelphia native sees his record drop to 21-6 with 13 KO’s.
