Sunday Punch: Gennadiy Golovkin does horrible things to Matthew Macklin’s liver

You know I love body shots and I love Gennadiy Golovkin, so how about some vintage GGG for the first Sunday Punch of August?

Golovkin made his third United State appearance on June 29th, 2013 against Matthew Macklin at Foxwoods in Connecticut. This was a WBA middleweight title defense for the Kazakh power-puncher against someone who had recently taken losses against Felix Sturm by split decision and KO to Sergio Martinez. A first-round KO of Joachim Alcine set Macklin up for uh... not good times.

This wasn’t a competitive fight but Macklin hung tough through two rounds.
