By Karl Rasmussen
Madison Square Garden was treated to an intense showdown between 'Triple G' Gennady Golovkin and Steve Rolls. After three hard-fought rounds, Golovkin gained an advantage in the fourth round of the fight, landing a flurry of punches on Rolls and advancing him towards the ropes. A mean jab with Triple G's vicious left hand caught Rolls right in the face, sending him out for an early night's sleep.
