A look back at Gennady Golovkin’s devastating KO of Rubio

Kell Brook may wish to look away as we relive Gennady Golovkin's trademark knockout of Marco Antonio Rubio.

The WBA Super, WBC and IBF world middleweight king is renowned for his power and variety and in October 2014, produced a sensational two-round demolition of durable Mexican Rubio.

Rubio (59-8-1-KO51) was a puncher of some renown himself and came into the fight comfortably the heavier man but was soon on the end of some vicious hooks from Golovkin.

The finishing blow was a shot that many feel Kazakhstan's Golovkin invented. Sky Sports pundits recently dubbed it 'The Golovkin shot' and asserted he's the only man capable of throwing it.

As Rubio valiantly tried to stem the tide through counter-attacks, he was caught several times before a finish that sent another message to the 160lb division.
