Gennady Golovkin has thrown out the first pitch at Dodger Stadium, and he has been given a hero's welcome back home in Kazakhstan. Until the rest of the world's best boxers run out of reasons to avoid getting in the ring, Golovkin (32-0, 29 KOs) has plenty of ways to keep busy - and boxing fans know they'll never be bored by the ever-smiling fighter reigning atop the 160-pound division. ''I just like fights,'' Golovkin said. A crowd of more than 12,000 will pack the Forum in Inglewood, California, on Saturday night when he takes on Willie Monroe Jr. (19-1, 6 KOs), an elusive left-handed fighter on a big winning streak, in a showcase spot on HBO.
