Three fighters have scrapped with Gennadiy Golovkin, four bones have been broken.
Two of critically and Matthew Macklins ribs, Martin Murrays nose and notoriously, the eye socket of Kell Brook have been severely damaged by a man whose energy is portrayed out of a horror movie like something unimaginable.
The sufferers of Golovkin speak regarding their punches force. Theres nothing particularly smart, unlike the competitions of Vasiliy Lomachenko who explain genius and his grace. The contrast with Golovkin is crude – that he cries harder than everybody else and has left a path of devastation to establish it.
Sergiy Derevyanchenko would be the hottest body – he strikes Golovkin on Saturday night at 2am, live on Sky Sports Action, at an IBF middleweight championship fight from Madison Square Garden, New York. Derevyanchenko is a customer that is tough but what Golovkin brings into the ring is unique.
Your body shots he struck me ? Something popped from my stomach and it took my physio months to push it back , recalled Murray who valiantly lasted 11 rounds in 2015.
My nose? Theres nothing that I can do about it. I broke his nose but it didnt bend on the exterior. My nose was flexed by him .
I am still feeling it now. My nose has never been the exact same from the three-and-a-half years because I fought so, when I retire, so Ill require an operation – he must pay for it!
Murrays is only one life thats been altered with Golovkin since trading pitches. Brooks orbital bone had been smashed in a five-round conquer in 2016 as well as in his next fightthat he broke the other eyes socket from Errol Spence Jr..
Its a common injury you have in automobile crashes, since your face strikes the dash and dash the bone in the front of the face, Brooks trainer Dominic Ingle told Sky Sports in the time.
When he got to the hospital I think the doctor said that some more punches on that and it could have been, not deadly, but it may have cost you your eye-sight.
Macklins recovery from broken ribs following a conquer in 2013 was agonising. What hurt ?
Getting up in the morning, and heading back to bed, and coughing!
Kazakhstans Golovkin maintained the entire world middleweight championships for eight years after, he was about a knockout run, before Danny Jacobs shot him that the distance. The only flaws on his album will be the draw and conquer to his rival SaulCanelo Alvarez.
In the previous 18 months, Vanes Martirosyan and Steve Rolls were blasted off. 35 of Golovkins 41 struggles have been stoppage victories.
He had a Mike Tyson-like standing, says Murray. We had the mentality that we needed to get through the worst day of our daily life to get the very best day.
Golovkin had, according to the Brits with the bones, far more than raw power. What became hopeless to withstand was how he manoeuvred himself into places to unleash that energy in so many ways.
I thought everybody he battled was beaten before they got in the ring, Murray continued. As soon as they felt his power they had been emotionally defeated.
I sensed his energy in the very first round. I thought,I will cope with this, however, I had prepared myself.
But its the culmination of the range, space, the way he cuts off the ring, gives you no more breathing room and his punch variety. Everything got to me personally.
He works the equation out when hes in the ring. He does that if he can bang out somebody. I gave the issue of a high, tight shield but he solved .
Murray now jokes that it had been abit dumb to go on into the 11th round.
Macklin was conscious of stories that a Golovkin had left wreckage at Freddie Roachs fitness center, but still took him on.
He did not catch me with anything to the mind, Macklin said. However, I felt the burden of the jab and a couple stiff straight hands – that I knew I didnt want to get hit with a large hook.
I had been preoccupied thats why that he got me to the body.
He carried power, man. I have never been hit like that to the human body, ever. I felt so through pain or paralysed for 30 seconds. This was excruciating.
Over the decades I had taken great body shots were winded, but never gone . This time I couldnt suck it up. It had been different… just, different.
Brook needed the towel following his eye socket struck to be thrown in after five rounds. The angle of the strikes was what harm him.
He was weird, the way he lacked his shots, Brook said in the moment. They landed when you did not expect him to chuck them. But hes strong and so robust, you know youre being hit.
Ive been in with anybody with that much electricity. It was power that is bizarre too, difficult to describe but it is certainly powerful. Some fighters have a sharp, snappy power, others have that really dense power and his was in the middle. All I can say is that when he strikes you on the arm, then you know you have been hit.
Its simple looking at it and watching him throw those bizarre shots, but before you are in there and it is really happening to you, you cant really prepare for it.
Will preparation help Derevyanchenko? Remains although golovkin is 37.
