Gennady Golovkin : Undefeated ,boxing's next big thing.
===============================
When former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson was in his power-punching prime, it sounded as if gunfire were erupting in the gym as he hit the heavy bag during drills.
There hasn't been a fighter since with anywhere near that kind of power.
Until now, that is.
Middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, who defends his WBA belt in a pay-per-view bout against Nobuhiro Ishida on Saturday in Monte Carlo, has the kind of pop that helped make Tyson a Hall of Famer and iconic figure in the sport.
In his successful Jan. 19 title defense at Madison Square Garden in New York, Golovkin continually hurt challenger Gabe Rosado with his jab.
Golovkin punches with a free and easy motion and doesn't seem to be exerting himself greatly. But when his shots land cleanly, the impact is usually huge.
"I call him the middleweight Mike Tyson," said trainer Abel Sanchez, whose job it is to help Golovkin channel his power properly. "He hits so, so, so hard, it's incredible. A coach dreams about having a guy like this once in a lifetime."
