✅ I propose to recap the best moments of this fight and see my review of this confrontation. А round-by-round analysis. After a historic middleweight boxing world title reign in which Gennady Golovkin made a division-record 20 consecutive title defenses before it came to an end by controversial decision at the hands of Canelo Alvarez some 13 months ago, GGG yearned for another title belt. He got it at Madison Square Garden, but his brawl with Sergiy Derevyanchenko in a fight-of-the-year candidate might have been the hardest fight of his career and a result that will be debated for years to come. Golovkin won a unanimous decision and a vacant middleweight world title before an announced crowd of 12,577, but he certainly did not look like the destroyer he has long been. Judges Frank Lombardi and Eric Marlinski both scored the fight 115-112 and Kevin Morgan had it 114-113 for Golovkin, who dropped Derevyanchenko in the first round and cut him over the right eye in the second but seemed to struggle mightily with Derevyanchenko's relentlessness for much of the fight. ESPN scored the fight 114-113 for Derevyanchenko, who failed in a second bid to win a 160-pound world title.
