Monaco - No one, not Dmitry Pirog and not Paul Williams and not even James Kirkland - were able to put a proud Japanese warrior like Nobuhiro Ishida in danger of getting stopped. WBA and IBO middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, rightfully called one of the most frightening terrors in modern boxing, did exactly that in shocking (and thus scary) style, knocking WBA #15 Ishida out cold in the third round of scheduled twelve.

By Hector Camacho Jr. and Dmitriy Salita, BROOKLYN, NY - Dear Friends, Fans and Boxing Community, As all of you know, we were scheduled to fight each other February 9th, 2013, part of World Championship Boxing broadcast on Showtime from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, NY. Both of us were, and still very motivated to prepare ourselves for victory and give fans what they want. We worked hard in our respective training camps, did the miles on the road and put in countless rounds of sparring getting ready for this crossroads fight. Due to circumstances beyond our control the show got postponed because of an injury sustained by main event fighter Danny Garcia. Golden Boy made a public statement that the whole card will get rescheduled to April 27th. While both of us were extremely disappointed we saw the light at the end of a three-month tunnel. Sometimes in life, and too often in boxing, things do not hold true and the wrong thing can happen. This is one such moment. Either by mistake, or by design, contradictory stories have emerged to cancel our fight.
