It was another successful night for Kazakhstan star Gennady Golovkin, as he successfully defended his WBA middleweight belt in front on 12,372 partisans inside of The Forum in Ingelwood, Calif.

The HBO-televised showcase saw Golovkin (33-0, 30 KO’s) drop Monroe twice in round two before ending matters with another knockdown in the sixth.

Along the way, there was much fun to be had, as an outgunned Monroe dug down and fought valiantly in the face of his onrushing opponent.

The 33-year old Golovkin will not have much time to rest between fights, as his promoter Tom Loeffler with K2 Promotions mentioned that a September return date is being eyed.

Check the video below for more from Loeffler, including exactly which City we could be seeing “GGG” in next.
