World champion in Middleweight according to WBA/WBC/IBF/IBO Gennady Golovkin in London beat the local top boxer Kell brook.
From the first seconds of the fight Golovkin in the signature aggressive style made it clear to brook, who is actually the owner of the ring. The Briton in the first round was pressed against the ropes, and not without problems to get out of a dangerous situation.
In the second round Brooke grew bolder, and held several productive combinations. During the third round both fighters worked effectively in the attack – Golovkin and Brooke exchanged productive attacks, but if the British acted on the highest, Kazakh only kept an eye on the opponent, ready to strike a decisive blow.
This is not required. During the fifth round, his seconds threw Brooke to the ring a white towel. As it turned out later, this decision was very correct. Brooke damaged his eye socket and next week will survive the surgery.
“Brooke is a very good fighter. Very sorry that he is not Boxing in the Middleweight division. Kell has dealt me many blows, but I have not particularly felt. They were not strong enough. However, I respect him,” Golovkin said after the fight.
Gennady Golovkin won the 23rd an early victory in a row. The last time the Kazakh had failed to knock out an opponent in November 2008.
