Gennadiy Golovkin wins title with unanimous decision over Sergiy Derevyanchenko
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.
For much of the fight it appeared Madison Square Garden would be home to a second massive upset in four months, after Andy Ruiz Jr. took three heavyweight world title belts by seventh-round knockout from Anthony Joshua in the same ring on June 1.
But it was not to be, and the Derevyanchenko team fiercely argued that its man had won a fight so brutal that both men were taken to the hospital as a precaution afterward rather than appearing at a news conference.
"Sergiy proved he is one of the top middleweights in the world," manager Keith Connolly said. "The crowd booed GGG and cheered Sergiy after the fight. There has to be a rematch if he doesn't fight Canelo next. There is no other fight people will want to see. Even GGG's own network, DAZN, which is paying him $100 million [under his three-year, six-fight deal], had Sergiy winning [114-113]."
Promoter Lou DiBella was emotional about his fighter, also believing he won.
"That was like [an Arturo] Gatti-[Micky] Ward fight at the highest level," DiBella said. "That was a f---ing war. I thought we won. I honestly thought we did. I knew it would be close, but I thought we won. I am sure when I watch it again I will think that.
"Of course, a rematch. We want the rematch. What would you rather see? That again or another Canelo fight? Of course, that again. That was a great fight. That kid fought the fight of his life, and if he doesn't get a rematch there is no f---ing justice."
According to CompuBox, Derevyanchenko landed more punches on Golovkin than in any of the 25 fights of his it has tracked. He landed 230 of 738 blows (31%), while Golovkin connected with 243 of 720 blows (34%).

perhaps reading the article would help to answer your question: “Golovkin said to FanSidedthrough an interpreter.”

Bivol is not in the Same division as GGG pls note and with due respect to Canelo, he didn't make any adjustments or try to put up a fight like come out of your shield. He simply accepted defeat and claim to loose 2 rounds when he actually got beat up. GGG practically should be 1.5 of 2 fight with Canelo and I mean as a boxing observer. Yet he got a gift decisionComment
