Kazakhstan power puncher Golovkin was the short-priced favourite to retain his World Boxing Association and International Boxing Organisation middleweight belts and he lived up to the hype on Saturday.
Golovkin knocked Geale down in the second round with a right hand and in the third connected with another big right.
Referee Mike Ortega stopped the fight to give Golovkin his 17th straight knockout win.
Golovkin's professional record moves to 30 wins (27 knockouts) while Geale's record drops to 30 wins (KO 16) and three losses.
