On Saturday night, Canelo Alvarez put on an impressively dominant display in the Las Vegas, Nevada T-Mobile Arena. The boxing phenom took on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a non-title fight grudge match that was highly anticipated.
Still, Alvarez pummeled his opponent as each round bled into the next. The bout ultimately went the distance, with Canelo Alvarez earning a unanimous decision victory over his opponent. However, the night did not end there.
Directly after Canelo Alvarez’s performance, another boxer made his way into the ring. Gennady “Triple G” Golovkin entered the ring and committed to a staredown with the night’s victor. Right then and there, Golovkin vs. Alvarez was announced for September 16.
The odds for Gennady “Triple G” Golovkin competing against Canelo Alvarez have become quite close. The odds currently stand -157 for Golovkin, with “Triple G” in the lead. Alvarez stands at +150.
The highly anticipated Middleweight unification bout between Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gennady 'Triple G' Golovkin is scheduled for twelve rounds of action and will be presented by Golden Boy. They’ve reached this current level against all odds. Nine out of 10 Pound-for-Pound Kings had Olympic-level amateur backgrounds. Canelo achieved what Manny Pacquiao did (reach No. 1 without having an extensive international amateur career) but without the Filipino icon’s extraordinary natural/athletic talent.
