Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez brought an end to his bitter rivalry with Gennadiy Golovkin as the Mexican won the fighters’ trilogy fight on a unanimous decision to retain the undisputed super middleweight world title in Las Vegas on Saturday, September 17.
Alvarez was rarely troubled as his 40-year-old opponent, the current undisputed middleweight champion, struggled to match the energy and work rate of the title holder, who defeated Golovkin for the second time in three meetings. The pair previously fought in the same T-Mobile Arena for the middleweight title in 2017 and 2018, with a draw controversially declared in the first fight before Alvarez won the second on a split decision.
But this contest bore few of the hallmarks of either of those absorbing encounters, with Alvarez controlling the center of the ring for the majority of the fight and dominating with his faster hand speed.
