By Dan Ambrose: Earlier tonight, IBO, WBA and WBC interim middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (32-0, 29 KOs) defeated England’s Martin Murray (29-2-1, 12 KOs) to keep his seven-year knockout streak going in winning an 11th round knockout at the in Salle des Étoiles in Monte Carlo, Monaco.
The fight was supposed to have been a competitive one, but it turned out to be a one-sided fight with Golovkin battering Murray each time he could catch up to him to land his shots.
Murray tried his best tonight and was able to land some really nice shots. You could tell by the swelling on Golovkin’s fight that Murray was a lot tougher than he expected him to be. If Murray had a little more power, he would have had Golovkin on his heels in this fight, but the power was lacking with the British fighter.
