WBA/IBO/WBC interim-middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin didn't have a hint of trouble, easing inside the stipulated weight limit  just seven days from  his  May 16th fight at the Inglewood Forum in California. As set out by the WBC rules, Golovkin  complied with the the 7 day weighin, registering 165-pounds on the scale.

As previously reported, Willie Monroe Jr., Golovkin´s opponent, informed the sanctioned body by way of his manager that he wont fulfill the WBC pre-weight requirements. And because of that Monroe will not be able to capture the WBC  interim middleweight championship. In the event Monroe wins,  the title will remain vacant and he won't become Miguel Cotto's mandatory.
