01:04Ladies and gentlemen, here is the unbeaten, unified WBA super,

01:10WBC, IBF, IBO middleweight champion of the world,

01:16Triple J, Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin!

01:26Yeah!

01:31Once again, referee Jack Reese with the final instruction.

01:39Right here. Right here for now.

01:44You guys want to exchange the flags?

01:48Okay. Come here.

01:51Ladies and gentlemen, I just want to remind you,

01:54please listen and follow my commands at all times.

01:57Protect yourself at all times. Fight hard, fight clean. Good luck to both of you.

02:00For the first time, they heard about this monster, Triple G.

02:03Last fight was on pay-per-view, and here you can just watch him on regular age.

02:06Triple G has his reputation, because you were guaranteed

02:09to see if he has one of those moments in him tonight.

02:12And not to mention...

02:15It's hard to find that in the sport yet, or still at this hour.

02:20John King promoted fighter in against Gennady Golovkin.

02:23Martin Rosens flashing a nice jab.

02:26Golovkin into jab in Golovkin's mouth.

02:29Golovkin lands a left hook.

02:32Oh, Martin Rosens hurt.

02:35Golovkin known for his scary power in both hands,

02:38and would like to remind fans of that after his last couple fights.

02:42That's what happens, again, when you fight

02:44Golovkin considered a level below that.

02:47Yeah, he thrown a good jab already here, though, Max.

02:50Probably let his head back a couple times.

02:52His head back one time, so we're getting some good exchanges in early.

02:55The bad thing for Bunnings is that

02:57that 24-month layoff is gonna take.

02:59Later in the fight, he'll get back comfortable and get in position.

03:02And it's been in the gym, Roy, and he says he's been in the gym

03:05for the last 17 months fairly continuously.

03:08For a long time, almost two years in his instance.

03:11Are you more susceptible to drain so much energy from a fighter

03:14as most fighters know?

03:16When you haven't been in there, the little things, the timing,

03:19the making a guy miss by a hairline.

03:22They say the last thing to leave a fighter is his punch.

03:26I've also seen fighters age and lose that knockout snap.

03:30Roy, you think Triple G still has that vaunted punch?

03:33We always talk about Triple G being 36 years old,

03:35but Triple G is an elite fighter.

03:37An elite fighter at 36 is not a bad fighter still.

03:3936 is not an old fighter,

03:41especially when you haven't taken a lot of punishment.

03:44I've seen him before.

03:46What we talk about Triple G has made the point

03:48that you expect to see knockout power from Triple G,

03:51but CompuBox counts him at more than 10 jabs per round.

03:55Nobody else in boxing has done that.

03:58And he's landed 14 hits on the hard right hand.

04:00Glukkin a little bit. I agree.

04:02And he hit him with a good right hand.

04:04Followed by a good jab, yes.

04:06Glukkin landed 15 jabs on the round,

04:08but only one hard power shot.

04:10Hit him in the mouth with a right hand.

04:12Glukkin landed the last punch of the round.

04:14Step to your defense, okay, D?

04:16Everything's working. Do what you're doing.

04:18You're doing everything.

04:19Coming in with a jab, a right hand,

04:21and Triple G thought it was over.

04:22Then all of a sudden, bing!

04:24There goes another jab,

04:25and that's what knocked him off balance.

04:27Yeah, I thought it was the right hand

04:29that had stunned him a little bit.

04:30It was the follow-up left.

04:31Orozion came up in boxing in Southern California.

04:35A lot of Mexican,

04:37and he thinks he's uniquely prepared

04:40for Mexican style,

04:41but those are some Mexican styles.

04:42Uppercut by Golovkin,

04:43and Martin Orozion grabs and holds on.

04:46That uppercut really was a good shot by Golovkin.

04:48He held on to Golovkin long enough

04:50to avoid being called for until his knee hit the canvas.

04:53That grease ruled it a throw by Golovkin.

04:56Jim, he turns it up right now.

04:57He can get him out before Vonage gets him.

04:59And he better do that,

05:00because Vonage is throwing some really big shots,

05:02but the ring rush is still really affecting him right now.

05:05He's seen this all before.

05:08He's not good with match.

05:09Well, because to be a fighter that acts like

05:11you don't want no part of this in the early rounds

05:13while he's powerful

05:14until you get used to seeing it of his punches,

05:16then you can act like it doesn't really matter.

05:18Right now, it does matter,

05:19because you're a little tight,

05:21and it does look that way,

05:22as though Golovkin's got a lot of weight on his shoulders.

05:25Outside the ring stuff.

05:26And he gets hit with a right hand again by Martin Orozion.

05:29Oh, hard left hook.

05:33Right hand, Golovkin.

05:35Another left.

05:36Hard left hook.

05:37Down goes Martin Orozion.

05:39He collapses.

05:405, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10.

05:48Second round knockout for Golovkin.

05:51I would have got disqualified.

05:52I would have got disqualified.

05:53I don't think Triple G should be disqualified for that.

05:56That was exactly like the punch that you got disqualified for.

06:00In his desire to score the knock

06:03was, if anything, overzealous.

06:05He's already down.

06:08And that neck finishing shot.

06:09Pretty close.

06:10I'll have to look at the replay

06:11to see whether Martin Orozion actually was on the canvas

06:16or was in the process of going down.

06:18I wouldn't DQ a fighter for that,

06:20nor should you have been DQ'd.

06:21I agree.

06:22But that is, but technically,

06:23I believe he hit him when he was down.

06:25We'll see.

06:28Either way, he's got a new knockout streak.

06:31One.

06:34Here's another look.

06:35Once again, the uppercut that caused the problem early.

06:38Hit him right on the chin with a beautiful uppercut.

06:40Doesn't get any better than that, Jim.

06:49Now you see him coming in for the attack.

06:51Overhand right over the top,

06:52which finally got caught with several times before.

06:55He comes back with a jab.

06:57Another jab.

06:59A good jab to set up the right hand again.

07:02Whether Martin Orozion actually was on the canvas

07:06or was in the process of going down.

07:08I wouldn't DQ a fighter for that,

07:09nor should you have been DQ'd.

07:10I agree.

07:11But that is, but technically,

07:12I believe he hit him when he was down.

07:14We'll see.

07:15Here's another look.

07:17Once again, the uppercut that caused the problem early.

07:19Hit him right on the chin with a beautiful uppercut.

07:21Doesn't get any better than that, Jim.

07:22Now you see him coming in for the attack.

07:23Overhand right over the top,

07:24which finally got caught with several times before.

07:27He comes back with a jab.

07:29Another jab.

07:30A big left hook,

07:31and that put Martin Orozion right there.

07:33Caught it by right hand,

07:34but Martin Orozion was out at that point.

07:35Another hook, boom,

07:37and now Martin Orozion wasn't that bad.

07:39I don't think his knee had reached the canvas,

07:41but the glove may have.

07:42Technically, he's down.

07:44If the ropes are holding you up, you're down.

07:46That's right.

07:47That was a clean knockout,

07:49even if it was a little messy at the end.

07:53Paul Jack Reese is one of the very best.

07:56Now, here's Reese.

07:59And Golovkin seems to let out a little air,

08:02relaxing finally.

08:04It's round number two.

08:06Referee Jack Reese reaches the count of ten

08:09for your winner.

08:10By KO victory, he is still

08:14unified middleweight champion of the world,

08:18Triple G!

08:20Gennady Gennadyevich!

08:23Gennadyevich Golovkin!

08:34First round wasn't his best.

08:36Second round was a wipeout.

08:38Ultimately, the result is what most ringside observers expected.

08:42An early-to-middle rounds knockout for Golovkin.

08:45Final CompuBox numbers, Golovkin closed the show,

08:48landing 11 of 15 power shots.

08:51His brilliant analysis of the power barrage

08:54that ultimately put Martirosyan away.

08:56He doubles Martirosyan in landed punches.

08:58He throws 11 more.

09:00He lands at a 43% overall connect rate.

09:04He reinforced his reputation as the number one jabber in the sport

09:08as he lands 16 out of 30 power shots, 53%.

09:12You know what we've told you over the years

09:14about a fighter who lands more than 50% of his power shots.

09:18He lands 20 jabs in less than two complete rounds again.

09:23I feel great. I've come back. I've come back.

09:26Gennady, Vanes came over to me a moment ago and said,

09:31that is the hardest puncher I've ever faced.

09:37Do you feel like you had your power back tonight?

09:41Why weren't you able to do this in your last two fights?

09:44Excuse me. Give me a chance. Just I want to first of all...

09:47Thank you very much.

09:49Thank you very much, my friends from Kazakhstan, my family,

09:53and, of course, my all fans of the world.

09:56Thank you very much. It's huge support.

09:59And, of course, yeah, Vanes, he is very good fighter.

10:02He punched me a couple of times, you know, just...

10:05After first round, this is serious business.

10:07This is serious fight.

10:09That's what it looked like. It looked like he got your attention

10:11at the end of the first round

10:13and you came out all business in the second.

10:16This is my second round is all business.

10:20First round, just I'm looking just his strategy

10:23because I know his team very good team.

10:25Attention at the end of the first round

10:27and you came out all business in the second.

10:30Absolutely. This is my second round is all business.

10:34First round, just I'm looking just his strategy

10:38because I know his team very good team.

10:40Congrats. And just, you know, just second round,

10:43this is true business.

10:45Given the date at which Canelo had to pull out

10:48of tonight's fight that was supposed to take place

10:51in Las Vegas...

10:54You had to come up with a last-minute replacement opponent.

10:58Vanes has a name. He's a good fighter.

11:00He's a known fighter. He has a pleasing style.

11:03So it's understandable that he's a replacement opponent.

11:06But now this fight is over.

11:09The middleweight division is chock full of opponents

11:12who suddenly seem willing to fight you.

11:15What do you want to happen now?

11:17I want everybody...

11:1915 power shots.

11:20Roy Jones with his brilliant analysis

11:22of the power barrage

11:24that ultimately put Martirosyan away.
