GENNADIY GOLOVKIN is preparing for his 40th birthday and a date with Ryota Murata the following night. What a weekend approaching for the old master.

Here he talks earnestly about getting older and the problems that presents, Saturday’s opponent, and the old enemy, Canelo Alvarez. 

Also on the agenda this week: 

- The latest Savannah Marshall demolition job and what that might mean for Claressa Shields.

- The declining quality of small hall shows and big fight undercards.

- A classic Evander Holyfield beatdown is the subject of This Week In History.
