Golovkin’s belt

Undefeated World Boxing Association middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin defended his title in New York on Sunday by stopping American challenger Curtis Stevens in a fight halted after eight rounds. Golovkin improved to 28-0 with his 25th early-stoppage triumph. It was the 15th fight in a row since 2008 in which Golovkin, 31, has won without needing to go the distance. Stevens, who was knocked down by the Kazakh with a hard right hook in the second round, fell to 28-4. It was the eighth successful title defense for Golovkin, who won the title by stopping Colombian Nilson Julio Tapia in 2010.
