    While Golovkin destroying Macklin in three rounds was impressive, it was expected. Macklin didn't really pose that much of a threat. More of a when will Golovkin win rather than who will win. Matthysse-Peterson was more of a 50/50 fight and even Matthysse backers didn't expect him to destroy Peterson in three rounds.

    I voted Matthysse only because Peterson is of higher quality as an oponent, imo.

    Overall though, not just counting their last fights, GGG is a better fighter. Maybe by quite a bit.

    Matthysse by far, not many were expecting him to win in that manner.

    The Matthysse one.

    With Golovkin vs Mack everybody (besides a handfull of Brits, doubters and haters) knew he was going to knock him out inside X rounds, and a lot expected it to happen inside the first half of the fight.

    Although I also expected a Matthysse KO, I expected it to be late and it wasn't a given too. Matthysse was the favorite, but not by much.

    Expected?

    It took Sergio 11 rounds and he's supposedly the better of the two.

    What rubbish.

    Lots of people expected to see Peterson boxing Matthysse cuz in their opinion he was the better boxer but Matthysse showed whos the boss @ 140 ! So I say the K.O win of Lucas over Peterson is more impressive cuz it was unexpected compared with the K.O win of 3G over Macklin. People expected to see Macklin going down in some round !

    Martinez is not known as a ko artist. He is also getting old. A fresh power punching Golovkin was expected to make easy work of Macklin.

    Mathysse.

    It was impressive ass kicking, beating guy like that who has never been knocked out BUT..
    Just because before that Mathysse went and lost to Shot Judah:)rofl )and Alexander. Mathysse is not skilled at all...

    well Macklin was a 9-1 underdog and Peterson matthysse was just about dead even odds. in short the golovkin end was expected, the Matthysse end was more surprising
