Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin is a stoppage machine. In 36 fights the Kazakh has won 36 times finishing his fights inside the distance 33 times. The last time he didn't stop a fight early was in 2008.
GGG has won his last 23 fights inside the distance last going to the scorecard against Algerian Amar Amari over eight years ago, in a fight that was only to eight rounds.
Since then the 34 year old has been unstoppable and impossible to take the distance with Kell Brook the most recent to give it a go. The formerly undefeated Brit managed to make it to the fifth round before a closing eye and a flurry of punches from the dangerous Triple G saw Brook's corner throw the towel in.

Two years ago today Golovkin took on experienced Mexican Marco Antonio Rubio in a defence of his WBA (Super) and IBO middleweight titles with the WBC interim title also on the line.
Having stopped Daniel Geale inside three rounds in his previous fight the Californian based European took even less time in the Staples Centre to finish off Rubio. In the second round he unleashed an unanswered flurry that finished with a huge left.
Rubio hit the mat and despite a late attempt to answer the referee's count he was unable to get up in time. Watch the brutal blow here:
