He is a great champion and I'm glad to beat him," said Golovkin. "I want all the belts, now I have two. The winner of Cotto-Canelo for sure will be next. I'm not sure who will win that fight, but I want to fight the winner next. I'm staying at 160 until I have all the belts.""I feel like the referee called the fight too early. I am fine," said Lemieux. "When he stopped it I wasn't event on the mat, I can keep going. I have a lot of respect for Golovkin as a fighter. We prepared well for this fight but I feel like I waited too long to take some shots tonight and that really hurt me. I want another chance at Golovkin and I will take advantage of it."
