Gennady "GGG" Golovkin ( 28-0-0(25 KO) stays unbeaten after his impressive show on last Saturday night in Madison Square Garden Theater, where he destroyed Curtis " Showtime" Stevens by TKO round 8. Stevens corner stopped the fight after eight round, because there fighter took huge beating and there was no way for him to win that fight or to continue without being knocked out. I mean Stevens was still standing, but Golovkin was hitting him with so many shots and Stevens was throwing so rare that even referee was ready to stop the fight in the end of round 8.
Stevens mother left arena few rounds ago because she just couldn't see that destruction of her son. But she was back on round 8 and looked much more relaxed when Stevens corner stopped the fight. I agree with her 100%, Curtis did what he can in best way, just it was not enough and to take more punishment from hard hitting Golovkin was not necessary anymore.
The fight didn't go the way I expected it to go. I believed that Stevens will try to go more inside and land his big shots, instead of that Stevens took defensive mode. Kept his hands high and was attacking very rare. I mean he was trying to catch Golovkin on counter with his big left hook, but Golovkin was more clever he didn't go inside very much, he was using his jab all the time and hitting closed Stevens with his jab and hooks to the body and head. Stevens was able to catch Golovkin few times on counter but Golovkin took those shots very well...
