Gennadiy Golovkin responds to Oscar De La Hoya’s taunts

Photo/Sarah Stier/Getty Images Gennadiy Golovkin mocked what Oscar De La Hoya Tweeted to him Saturday night, right after Golovkin’s fourth-round knockout of Steve Rolls. “Nice comeback win,” De La Hoya wrote. “Now fight a real fighter, win a belt, and I’ll consider doing the 3rd fight. #Caneloisyourboss.” During post-fight press conference following his knockout win over Steve Rolls, a reporter asked Golovkin for his thoughts on  De La Hoya’s provocative tweet. “He talk so much, he back talk — I’m not thinking about what he said, Oscar,” Golovkin began. ”I’m not really interested in what Oscar is doing or saying, I’m not really interested in that at all. I don’t really like following men, you know. I’m not about following men at all.” “What do you think I should write him back?” Golovkin asked sarcastically. “You look good, you smart guy? Come on! He doesn’t know me. Just forget it. This is hype, this is hype today. Oscar [tweeting], just forget it.” Former middleweight champion got back to winning ways with a fourth-round knockout of Rolls at Madison Square Garden. Golovkin, who was fighting under new trainer Johnathon Banks for the first time, now has a record of 39 wins, one draw and one defeat.
