It was business as usual for Gennady Golovkin on Saturday night, April 23, as he faced off with contender Dominic Wade inside of the Forum in Inglewood, Calif.
Golovkin (35-0, 32 KO’s) was on another level than his Maryland-born opponent, as he dropped him in the first round with a right cross. Two more knockdowns followed in round two, with referee Jack Reiss wisely waiving the match off after the second.
Golovkin seems open to any and all challengers and the world will wait with anticipation to see if a Saul “Canelo” Alvarez showdown comes off later this year.
“Give me my belt,” said Golovkin of the WBC middleweight champion Canelo, who faces Amir Khan on HBO pay per view on May 7. Golovkin presently holds the interim strap and is eager to face the winner.
