The Triple G force is back with him.
Gennady Golovkin shook a little ring rust from his shoulders, then opened them up to deliver a knock-out shuddering with his trade-mark power, venom and chilling accuracy.
A week after Anthony Joshua’s rocky horror show, normal service was resumed at the mecca of boxing.
Gennady Golovkin earned a decisive victory over Steve Rolls in the fourth round
Rolls made a valiant attempt to get back to his feet but was counted out by the referee
Golovkin was tested for the first three rounds but in the end class told in the ring
A hitherto anonymous Canadian called Steve Rolls had given the great man a much-needed work-out for three and a half rounds before the Madison Square Garden roof fell in on him.
Golovkin, having pile-driven him to the body to bring the Rolls hands down, unleashed a lightning, two-fisted assault which culminated in a left hook from hell.
The victim fell face down, made a brave, some might say foolhardy, attempt to lurch upright only to collapse again and be counted out.
No great upset this Saturday night. Instead, another of what GGG calls his Big Drama Shows.
Were you watching Canelo Alvarez?
Golovkin wants to fight Canelo Alvarez for a third time after his emphatic victory
When asked who would prefer to be his next opponent, Golovkin answered the clamour of the 12,000 crowd by saying: ‘We know who the fans want me to fight next.’
Yes, the Mexican idol
