Middleweight superstar Gennadiy Golovkin returned to the ring for the first time in 14 months and looked very sharp against overmatched Kamil Szeremeta on Friday night, stopping the previously undefeated fighter from Poland after seven rounds. GGG scored four knockdown and Szeremeta opted not to come out for the eighth round after getting battered and dropped in round seven.
Golovkin (41-1-1,36KOs) did damage with both hands on a variety of shots including uppercuts, overhand rights and his vaunted left jab. Szeremeta (21-1, 5KOs) did his best to keep punching in between barrages but he was clearly outclassed in this fight. He didn’t come close to winning a round and he did quite well to get through three of the rounds without getting knocked down.

With the overpowering win, Golovkin looks to put the pressure on for a third fight with Canelo Alvarez, who is in action on Saturday night against Callum Smith. With a draw and a loss against Alvarez as the only blemishes on his record, Golovkin needed to make a statement tonight against his overmatched mandatory, and he did.
