Canelo Beats GGG In Triology FIght

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez dominated Gennady Golovkin over 12 rounds to retain his undisputed super-middleweight titles.

It was the third encounter in Las Vegas between the modern day greats with Alvarez claiming a second win following a controversial draw in the first bout.

After sidestepping a fightback from Golovkin in the later rounds, all three judges were in agreement, scoring it 116-112, 115-113, 115-113 for Alvarez.

"Thank you my friend, we gave the fans three great fights," said the Mexican.

They had a warm embrace after the fight, despite their rivalry turning sour in the four-year wait for the trilogy encounter, which saw Alvarez retain the IBF, WBA (Super), WBO and WBC titles.

Golovkin said: "I want to shake hands with Canelo. Congrats to all his team. He's a real warrior, if you don't understand that, you don't understand nothing."
