Review by AllTheBestFights.com: 2018-05-05, good fight between Gennady Golovkin and Vanes Martirosyan: it gets three stars.The undefeated Wbc, Wba, Ibf and Ibo champion Gennady Golovkin entered this fight with a professional record of 37-0-1 (33 KOs=89%) and he is ranked as the No.1 middleweight in the world but he comes off the draw with Saul Canelo Alvarez (controversial decision, Saul Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin). Before this bout GGG had beat Kell Brook in 2016 (4-stars fight, Golovkin vs Brook) and Daniel Jacobs in 2017 (Golovkin vs Jacobs).
His opponent, the former Olympian Vanes Martirosyan (who replaces Saul Alvarez, since the mexican tested positive for clenbuterol receiving a six month suspension), has a boxing record of 36-3-1 (21 knockouts) but he is not ranked as he hasn’t fought since May 21, 2016 when he was defeated by Erislandy Lara (Erislandy Lara vs Vanes Martirosyan 2). Before this bout, in 2015, he had lost to Jermell Charlo (Charlo vs Martirosyan) and beat Ishe Smith (Martirosyan vs Smith). Golovkin vs Martirosyan is valid for the IBF, IBO, WBA and WBC World middleweight titles (all held by GGG). Watch the video and rate this fight!

Old GGG is back in town!
Ridiculous mismatch.
Vanes was never stopped before, similar to Brook when he fought G. Remember Power is the last thing a boxer loses.
short and comprehensive!
the armenian took some money very easily
really charlo coudnt stop him
$250k
Devastating k.o.
Gotta love GGG, he’s great for the sport. Not too many exciting knockout machines stepping up to replace this guy after he retires
Predictable outcome. Golovkin looked decent but let’s be realistic here. In the overall scheme of things Martirosyan is fairly ordinary and Golovkin did pretty much what he was expected and supposed to do against an opponent who hadn’t fought in two years.
Business as usual, Ignore the commentators, GGG has it all in HEAPS!!!!!!!
Total mismatch
Shame
Worst fight ever..what the hell were they thinking..this is a joke…shame on boxing
