One of the trilogies that will take place in the history of boxing culminated. 36 rounds were played Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin. The last 12 rounds had a lot of intensity from the Mexican. Meanwhile, the Kazakh went from little to more, to give a lot of flavor to the contest. Chloroform did not arrive, but there was a war in the ring.
The trilogy leaned towards Canelo Álvarez, who recovered from the painful defeat against Bivol. A unanimous decision with cards of 116-112, 115-113 on two occasions. Golovkin’s two defeats went to Santos Saul.
From the first round Canelo Álvarez came out more purposeful than his rival. The Kazakh looked slow, and threw a few punches. The strategy of the Mexican was to try to damage the soft areas so that the rival neglected the guard and connected to the head.
Which turned out, because just in the second round, GGG already looked damaged. The Mexican went to the front, making his opponent walk backwards. Sign of superiority. Canelo was looking to keep his word, knock him out.
By the fifth round Cinnamon's fists struck Golovkin’s face, his legs staggered, but it was not enough to throw him away, although the warning had already arrived and the public was already eager to see Golovkin fall.
But the Kazakh did not give up. In the ninth round Golovkin brought out his experience and put the Mexican in trouble, who felt a left that made him back to the ropes. The Mexicans in T-Mobile were silent, the few Kazakhs were agitated.
Golovkin’s reaction ignited the fight. A wake-up call for Canelo not to be trusted. The last rounds were intense. Both exchanged blows, the expectation was so great that the sand was silent for moments.
The last round was special. In addition to the intensity, he left one of the postcards to be repeated from generation to generation, a hug of respect between the 'Canelo' and 'GGG'. The battle had a personal and sporting hatred.
"Thank you for giving people three big fights. Thank you Golovkin, thank you for everything. I have been through difficult times in my life and you have to move on, the defeats are good," said the winner of the fight with respect.
Gennady Golovkin also had words of praise for his opponent, "I want to congratulate Canelo and his team. He is a great warrior". In addition, he said that despite his 40 years he will remain in boxing, because he is still a unified middleweight champion.
