If you're an MMA fan bemoaning the state of boxing because of Floyd Mayweather vs. Anyone, at least give yourself a chance to appreciate Gennady Golovkin. "GGG" is 33-0 with 30 KOs, including a perfect stoppage rate in his last 20 fights, and the #1 middleweight in the world will make his HBO PPV main event debut against Canadian heavy-hitter David Lemieux next month.
The 33-year-old out of Kazakhstan has transformed himself into one of the sport's most popular talents, and he's just about sold out Madison Square Garden for this event, which is a phenomenal feat for non-Puerto Rican fighters (think Miguel Cotto and Felix Trinidad). Earlier this week, HBO uploaded his greatest highlights -- well, his greatest highlights under the HBO banner -- which you can view at the top of the page. The timeline is as recent as his 6th round KO win over Willie Monroe Jr.
Bloody Elbow will have live coverage and full play-by-play of Golovkin vs. Lemieux on Saturday, October 17th.
