Gennady “GGG” Golovkin, welcome to the big time.

The popular knockout machine was electrifying and terrifying in his pay-per-view headlining debut Saturday night, as he dazzled and wowed the sold out Madison Square Garden by dominating Canadian powerhouse David Lemieux from the start.

Golovkin relied almost solely on his battering ram-like left jab, snapping his foe’s head back repeatedly. Lemieux tried to get into his usual aggressive rhythm, but Golovkin’s reach and sickening power nullified virtually everything David tried early on.
