Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2019-06-08, good fight between Gennady Golovkin and Steve Rolls: it gets three stars.The undefeated former Olympian and former Wbc, Wba, Ibo champion Gennady Golovkin entered this fight with a professional record of 38-1-1 (34 KOs=89%) and he is ranked as the No.2 middleweight in the world. The only man who stopped him in a draw and defeated GGG in his last bout was current #1 Mw Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez, but both fights ended in a controversial split and majority decision (Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin I and Gennady Golovkin vs Saul Canelo Alvarez II); between these two bouts he beat Vanes Martirosyan (Gennady Golovkin vs Vanes Martirosyan).
His opponent, the undefeated Steve Rolls, has a perfect record of 19-0-0 (10 knockouts) and he entered as the No.79 in the same weight class. In his last three fights he has won over Andrik Saralegui, Damian Ezequiel Bonelli and KeAndrae Leatherwood. Golovkin vs Rolls is the main event of the evening. Watch the video and rate this fight!

Beautiful left from GGG.
That left was so solid man.. perfect shot. It’s a knockout type of punch with his whole weight behind it I knew he’d not get up
More of the same vs weak opposition…The man did not look particularly good IMO. He brings that same look back to Canelo and he gets beat up & poss stopped. If he takes it to Andrade…i think he gets his head boxed off. At 37 yrs of age & a decade of fighting under 1 trainer & in 1 style i just don’t see Banks having an influence of any real consequence. Rolls stood in front of him which is obviously now the game plan. But he had no movement at the waist besides dipping to his rt predictably..Nor did he provide enough punch activity. The two names i mentioned above will NOT fight in that manner. Andrade is big & fast & will pump a jab all night. Canelo has gone toe to toe & never even buzzed by golovkin. He will light his azz up in part 3 as an extension of part II. I just don’t see the guy regaining his hold on the div again..
