Golovkin retains WBA middleweight title (The Associated Press)
Gennady Golovkin defended his WBA middleweight title successfully with a commanding performance against the hardy Martin Murray on Saturday, stopping him in the 11th round of a one-sided contest. Making his third title defense, Golovkin has stopped his last 19 opponents, and is unbeaten in 32 fights with 29 knockouts. Prince Albert of Monaco was among the crowd as Murray withstood some heavy punishment, and showed enormous courage to try and trade with the hard-hitting Kazakh.
