So it is over and it happened like people expected.
Vanes had a good first round but #ggg# was just trying to figure oud what he had in front of him.

Second round, ggg unleashes and Vanes had no answer. He tried to clinch but was ineffective. He could not last for a full round of kazakh aggression.

I think Vanes choosed not to get up after the 8 count. He must have said "why keep getting punched like that when I already made 250 k in 4 minutes."

Vanes was courageous but not crazy coureagous like Kell Brook.
Props to him, he had only 2 weeks to prepare and was pretty much retired.

I am eager to see what the future holds for GGG though.

Cinco de Mayo is near and we will see #GGG# versus that guy #Martirosyan#. I never heard of him before but I have looked at him and for sure he is no bum. Better than Lemieux for instance.

I always favor the underdog so I wish good luck to Vanes.

昨晚的大消息，160 磅量级 (middleweight) 王者 Gennady Golovkin 37-0-1 (33 KOs) 确定依然会在 5/5 出赛，对手人选确认，是曾经二度挑战拳王头衔的美国好手 Vanes Martirosyan 36-3-1 (21 KOs)。而地点不是美国拉斯维加斯，而是美国加州。

如之前的传闻，这场赛事将於美国加州的家得宝中心球场 (StubHub Center) 举行，这也是 Golovkin 睽违 2 年再次重回加州出赛。Golovkin 过去深耕美国西岸市场，在加州有一定号召力，2015 年与 2016 年在论坛体运馆 (Fabulous Forum) 出赛都突破当地的拳击票房纪录。

Golovkin vs. Martirosyan 将由 HBO 负责转播，预计於台湾时间 5/6 上午 11:00 开始，由於这场赛事不是付费收看 (pay per view, PPV)，所以这也是 Golovkin 在 2016 年以来第一次赛事没有在 PPV 转播，另外，如果以 Golovkin 2010 年首次夺下的世界拳王头衔 WBA 拳王来算，这也是 GGG 第 20 次防卫拳王头衔。

至於对手 Martirosyan，绰号 “梦魇” 的他过去曾经美国代表队成员，但过去都在 154 磅量级 (super welterweight) 出赛，这会是他第一次於 160 磅量级出赛。而且，Martirosyan 已经二年未曾出赛，上次出赛是在 2016 年五月，挑战当时的 WBA 与 IBO super welterwieght 拳王 Erislandy Lara 25-3-2 (14 KOs) 以判决败北。
