Sure, Gennady cut him over the eye and dropped in the first round with a punch above the temple. However, at the same time it did not effect Derevyanchenko's overall performance.
Sergiy was ripping combination punches to the head and body that appeared to have hurt Gennady on multiple occasions. Golovkin seemed to lack both the energy and stamina to keep Derevyanchenko off of him; Which is why he kept backing up most of the fight.
Also, Sergiy's punches were a lot faster, more accurate, powerful and energetic than Gennady's too. Golovkin's workrate was much lower than usual. At times he appeared gunshy and had trouble letting his hands go.
