Gennady Golovkin vs Nobuhiro Ishida

---

Gennady Golovkin successfully defended his WBA Middleweight Titles with an impressive third-round knockout win over challenger Nobuhiro Ishida. An overhand right from the champion sent a backpedaling Ishida down, out cold, and halfway out of the ring. The referee did not begin a count and immediately waved an end to the bout. Ishida, who's head had to be supported momentarily by those sitting ringside, did regain consciousness quickly and was kept down in the ring for some time to recover.
