Capping off their trilogy in disappointing fashion on Saturday night in Las Vegas, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez defeated Gennadiy Golovkin for the second time to retain the
WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight championships.
Canelo dominated the fight from the opening bell en route to a unanimous-decision win. Two judges scored the bout 115-113, and the third had it 116-112, though it didn’t even seem that close.

Rd 12: Canelo 10-9. I have Canelo winning easily 11-1. They have a long embrace when it’s over. Dud of a fight. #boxing #CaneloGGG3
Golovkin’s performance was roundly criticized, with many observers noting it looked like he was aging before our eyes.
