Golovkin vs Simon

WBA World Middleweight Championship

A stunning first round knock out win by Golovkin.

Sitting back and countering Simon's advances played into Golovkin's strategy, and a heavy left hook after 137 seconds was all it took to take Simon down.

This was Golovkin's third successful defence of the WBA "regular" title, and has now won 19 of his 22 fights by knock out. This was only the second defeat of Simon's career - both defeats have been back to back.
