It neither counts toward sum title defenses nor serves to interrupt their contiguous run. No Contests are thrown out, essentially. Treat as if they never happened.
Also - people saying a draw isn't a successful defense, wtf? Yes it very much is, no less so than a points or KO win. Draws have always been and still are valid title defenses.
Nope, no contest - fight didnt happen. That said, Golovkins title-defense streak is even more questionable. It’s not his fault, WBA ****ed it up for him, but regular title defenses shouldnt count.
For those questioning if a draw is a succesful defence, or thinking its not, it quite clearly is a succesful defence of titles. Both fighters fought for the belts, but the champion retained them, and succesfully kept the challenger from dethroning him after a fully legitimate and completed match. . Its a succesful defence. The NC... I dont know. Its often not considered a valid or completed match.
Half of this fella's defense count was for a mickey mouse trinket against non-ranked bums. The only two live bodies he ever faced arguably beat him. His fight tonight against grey haired Vader is no better than grey haired Beefy Smith . At least Nelo wasn't dragging his grey haired old men up a division they never fought at. lol.. I show you day time drama show- Gennady Golovkin
A draw counts as a title defense as the belt did not change hands during the match. And everyone knows GGG won that fight anyway. Nice try. A no contest means it does not count. No one won, lost or drew
I'm not sure if Dino is just a poorly researched guy or the agenda clouds his vision. One thing is for certain. These shall we say mistruths aren't fooling anyone.
Brook and Vader don't count as title defenses so you can knock back GGGs defense count by 2 , ? Did you see all the grey and balding hair on Vaders crown? The dude is about 40 years old.
Dino, I hope you don't troll Marvin Hagler for being bald. Are you aware of how silly you look? Brook and Vader don't count as title defenses he says? You are an inadvertently funny guy. What's next!
Pheeew ,what an idiotic statement, even by your low standards... Yes it was a gift draw to the chemical Queen you idiot..
