In a just-concluded super middleweight battle, the current four-tier world boxing champion Sur Avarez (58-2-2, 39KO) defeated his old rival Gennadi Golovkin (42-2-1, 37KO) in 12 rounds, winning the three-man battle, and also defending the WBC/WBA Super/IBF/WBO Superweight Golden Belt.
The match was held at the T-Mobile Center in Las Vegas, USA, which was also the headline main event for today's DAZN-PPV livestream. Before the game, Avarez had threatened to devote himself to KO from the first round, but he played very cautiously at the beginning of today, and did not rush to the fierce battle at the beginning of the second world war, and played very patiently. After Golovkin's upgrade to 168 pounds, his physique seems to be thicker than Avarez's, and after the replacement of new coach Jonathan Banks, his tactics have changed, strengthening dodging, defending, and no longer attacking like before.
In the first 8 rounds of the game, Avarez still had the advantage, he was faster and more accurate in his heavy punches, but Golovkin also dodged some of Avarez's heavy punches, but the attack was not coherent enough, and the heavy punches were not effective. At the beginning of round 9, Golovkin stepped up his attack, creating more pressure on Avarez, but the speed slowed down a beat, and Avarez's heavy punch was clearer and more accurate, but he was not capable of hitting Golovkin hard enough. In the last two rounds, Avarez was somewhat physically weak and incompetent, and Golovkin played very aggressively, but he was unable to create a real threat to Avarez. In the end, the two played 12 rounds, and the three referees unanimously gave the victory to Avarez with a score of 116-112, 115-113.
Defeating the opponent, the 32-year-old Avarez's professional record rose to 58 wins, 2 losses and 2 draws, 39 games KO opponents. Today, Avarez's victory over Golovkin is expected by many people, after all, he is 8 years younger, but many people think that Avarez will play stronger, not just grind to win. At the same time, we also saw that the 40-year-old Golovkin still has a strong strength, the fist is heavy and hard, but the speed is slow, and today he lost very decently, he was not seriously damaged, and his face was relatively clean.
