By B.G.B: It seems that WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin’s (29-0 26 KO’s) fearsome knockout ability is finally paying dividends. The upcoming bout with super middleweight contender Julio Cesar Chavez Jr (48-1-1 (1 nc) 32 KO’s) is without a doubt the biggest fight of Golovkin’s career thus far. But what kind of challenges can we expect Chavez to confront Golovkin with? Chavez has an impressive amount of KO’s himself and has proven that he has the ability to cause damage to fighters.
In a fight he was badly loosing against Sergio Martinez, he was able to impose himself in the final round almost getting what would’ve been a huge victory. Golovkin however, is not Sergio Martinez. In fact, Golovkin is a completely different animal to any fighter that Chavez would have faced. In retrospect, Golovkin has never fought someone like Chavez. Both like to fight. Both will come to fight. There is not a shadow of a doubt in my mind that this fight will end in a knockout; a defining knockout that will make or break either of them.
