Golovkin versus Stevens live round-by-round updates
RingTV.com will have live, round-by-round updates of WBA middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin against challenger Curtis Stevens at New York’s Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
The camps of the nearly 5-foot-11 Golovkin (27-0, 24 knockouts) and the 5-7 Stevens (25-3, 18 KOs) have engaged in plenty of trash talk.
With his fighter having earned his 14th straight stoppage win against Matthew Macklin in June, Golovkin’s trainer, Abel Sanchez, insists that Stevens represents a “short night for Gennady,” adding, “I also expect that as soon as Curtis gets hit with the first jab, he’ll be more scared than Macklin was.”
Having earned a stoppage of Saul Roman in August that was his third first-round knockout during a run of four straight wins, Stevens has vowed to destroy Golovkin.
The HBO broadcast began at 10 p.m. ET/PT Saturday night.
