Golovkin corned the 6’2” Ishida by the ropes in the 3rd, and landed a long right hand that knocked Ishida down and threw the ropes. Ishida reportedly was unconscious from the shot briefly. Referee Stanley Christodoulou immediately halted the fight at 2:20 of the round.
Golovkin had Ishida hurt at the end of the 2nd round after nailing him with two hard right hands to the head.

By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) says you can add his name to the list of fighters that wouldn’t mind facing unbeaten WBC welterweight champion Floyd Mayweather Jr. in the near future if Mayweather were to be willing to meet him at 155 lbs.
by Andrew Garewal: A critical part to the sweet science is the use of body shots. Hooks to the body can crack ribs, tear organs and expose a fighter upstairs.

Not only do body shots wear down an opponent, but it also limits the power and output which they can produce in later rounds.

By Allan Fox: WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) will be fighting a stay busy fight against 37-year-old Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KO’s) on March 30th in Monte Carlo.

By Dan Ambrose: Boxing analyst Al Berstein doesn’t care too much for the March 30th fight between WBA World middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (25-0, 22 KO’s) and the unranked Nobuhiro Ishida (24-8-2, 9 KO’s) at the Chapiteau de Fontvieille, Monte Carlo, Monaco. Bernstein thinks the 30-year-old Golovkin should be taking on much better opposition at this point in his career instead of facing a guy that has lost his last two fights in 37-year-old Ishida.
