Geale didn't want anymore of Golovkin. I think he understood what everyone else was seeing. He couldn't hurt Golovkin, he was getting hurt by Golovkin, and he was giving his all and getting beat by a guy who hadn't even broken a sweat. There wasn't going to be a lucky punch tonight, he couldn't dodge GGG's power for one round let alone 12, and even if he could he was still getting outboxed and losing rounds. It looked hopeless from round one and just kept getting worse. Once he got knocked down for the second time, he had that look on his face like "I have absolutely no idea what to do to turn this around." Still didn't expect him to quit though.
