Gennady Golovkin (36-0-0, 33 KOs) earned his 23rd consecutive knockout victory on Saturday in London as he forced the corner of formerly undefeated welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-1-0, 25 KOs) to throw the towel and stop the fight in the fifth round.
To anyone watching, it was apparent that Golovkin wasn't his normal self. After the fight, he disputed reports that he was battling illness. Whatever the case was, the normally cheery Kazakh star didn't have the bounce to his step and big grin on his face that we've grown accustomed to all fight week.
