In the fifth Derevyanchenko could significantly hurt Golovkin by body punches. The ending of the battle took place in the double-edged struggle.
The scores were 114-113, 115-112 and 115-112.
Both fighters immediately after the fight was taken to hospital as a precautionary measure, so a press conference after the fight didn't take place.
