The long awaited trilogy is finally here: Canelo Alvarez will face rival Gennadiy Golovkin for the undisputed super middleweight championship on Saturday ...

But the co-main should also be fascinating. Despite outlanding his opponent in eight of the 12 rounds, Golovkin fell on the scorecards in a close majority decision. The fight would live up to the hype as both went toe-to-toe in a slugfest for all 12 rounds. Both have a long history dating back to September 2017 for one of the most anticipated boxing matches of the last decade.

I know what type of fight we’re facing and I’m absolutely ready.” “He lost touch with reality and believed he was invincible. “I’m calm and confident. I listen to what he says but at the end of the day, he is just making excuses. Confidence is there, but after clearly losing the fight, you’re raising your arms and saying you only lost a couple of rounds? He drew his conclusions that this loss brought him back down to Earth. He’s a great fighter but as a person? “I think I’m the best fighter in the world right now,” Alvarez said. I’m going to leave everything in the ring. He pretends to be a nice person but he’s not.

Who will win the final fight of the Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin III trilogy? Experts share their predictions.

Canelo will need to end the trilogy with Golovkin on a high note and that’s with a knockout. “Golovikin hopes to prove, once and for all, that he was right and the judges were wrong, first in 2017 and again in 2018, in a draw and then a narrow scorecard loss to Canelo. “For the record, I think Canelo lost the first fight against Golovkin and then tied the second meeting. “Golovkin represents a good rebound fight for Álvarez as it has the façade of a big-fight feel. I believe he wins a war Saturday night, breaking Golovkin’s body down during 10 grueling rounds and forcing a stoppage in the championship rounds to end one of the most memorable trilogies of the modern era. Not to mention the confidence required to beat the super middleweight champion, derived from the 24 rounds they shared in 2017 and 2018 — a majority of which Golovkin believes he won. “Yes, Golovkin is a middle-aged boxer, but the power punches are still there and he’s likely motivated for a trilogy bout he’s been waiting for four years. Golovkin is no longer in his prime, but he’s still the best middleweight in the game and he’s still an elite-level punisher if he’s allowed to get into his rhythm. But based on his age, his lack of activity since their rematch four years ago and Álvarez’s history on the scorecards in Las Vegas, it’s tough to envision a Golovkin victory. Canelo is just too big of a favorite to lay that kind of money on, but he’s younger, still in his prime and I believe he’s better than he was in 2018 when he won their second fight. Canelo will welcome the heat and do his best to not only stand his ground, but try to push GGG back on his heels. I think this fight is going to be close but Canelo may find himself in a hole that he’s unable to dig himself out of when he realizes that he cannot stop GGG.

At the beginning of this year, middleweight boxing superstar Canelo Álvarez was widely considered the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.

It was one of the richest fights in the history of the sport: it Boxing should have completed the trilogy soon after this 2018 fight, but as it the sport’s wont, all kinds of sniping got in the way.

“It will be such an epic fight and victory that everyone will want to see it again. It’s not like he’s got to go in and find out the best way to beat him on the night.” The Matchroom promoter said: “If Canelo loses I think he’s in a terrible position coming off back to back defeats.

After beginning his career in the boxing hinterlands of Germany, Golovkin rocketed to stardom in the 2010s with a series of knockouts and title wins, leading up to his first two fights against Álvarez. That opens up several questions for this fight: Golovkin is one of the greatest knockout artists in boxing history, but how will his power translate going up in weight and against a beefier Álvarez? The recent loss could just be written off as the price Álvarez paid for fighting in a division he is unsuited for. To some, Golovkin won both fights, especially the first one, where one judge, Adalaide Byrd, turned in a scorecard that read 118-110 in favor of Álvarez, and was He has had a handful of different promoters in his career, but they all settled on the same formula: Have Álvarez fight as often as possible in early May, for Cinco de Mayo, and mid-September, in line with the formal day of independence, Sept. It is hard to remember now, but Álvarez fought most of his early career at super welterweight (154 pounds), only finally moving up to middleweight for the first two fights against Golovkin. Álvarez has since broken up with Golden Boy and as a promotional free-agent is able to charge a premium for his bouts. The broadcast’s cameras showed the star of the “Creed” film franchise in Alvarez’s locker room, exchanging hugs and greetings with the super middleweight champ. But Ali and Rosado fought in real life, where the 27-year-old Akhmedov’s speed and footwork and combination punching propelled him to a lopsided victory. Juan Francisco Estrada of Mexico holds two major title belts, and the 35-year-old Nicaraguan legend Roman Gonzalez remains a major player in the division. Saúl Álvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin have the main event on a card of eight fights. Here’s a peek at the card and how the fights have played out so far:

A win, however, puts the wheels in motion for a fourth fight (and hopefully we won’t have to wait four years for the rematch).

Oddsmakers have Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 knockouts) as the overwhelming favorite.

Canelo Álvarez v Gennady Golovkin III: undisputed super-middleweight championship – live! Rivals meet for Álvarez's WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF ...

Meanwhile, the 32-year-old Álvarez furthered his ascent as boxing’s biggest superstar, adding titles at super-middleweight and light-heavyweight before coming back down to unify all four belts at 168lbs in the span of a year: the very same undisputed championship that’s on the line tonight. Their second, in 2018, was closer, but ended in a majority-decision win for Álvarez after another 12 rounds where many thought Golovkin did no worse than a draw. Hello and welcome to the Las Vegas Strip for tonight’s third fight between Canelo Álvarez and Gennady Golovkin. (The Guardian had it 116-111.) Canelo has held as a solid -450 favorite (meaning a $450 bet would pay off $100), while Golovkin is a +340 underdog (meaning a $100 wager would return $340). The close rounds are going to go to Álvarez and he’s just banked three of them. Golovkin lands a hard right hand, his best shot of the night, but Álvarez takes it in stride. Álvarez picks up the pace in the final minute, letting his hands go and pummeling Golovkin backwards. Golovkin lands a right uppercut through Álvarez’s guard, which must be the first one he’s thrown all night, but the Mexican walks right through it. He’s got Álvarez up against the ropes and he’s landing a couple of shots to the head, but the Mexican is throwing with him. Probably not a great idea for Álvarez to spend so much time along the ropes willingly. Álvarez breezes through the finish line.

Canelo is just too big of a favorite to lay that kind of money on, but he’s younger, still in his prime and I believe he’s better than he was in 2018 when he won their second fight. Rodriguez used a deft jab for most of the fight to keep Gonzalez at bay. A clash of heads occurs in the final seconds of the round. The fight is one-third complete and the drama is lacking so far. Canelo is the aggressor who is marching forward picking and choosing one punch at a time. Golovkin starts to muster offense with an uppercut in the final minute of the round.

USA TODAY Sports' Lance Pugmire provides round-by-round analysis of the third fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

Unlike in the Bivol loss, Alvarez doesn't have to expend energy here. This is not the former monster who reigned with 23 straight knockouts years ago. Golovkin's best round was still not enough. The age divide – Golovkin is 40, Canelo 32 – is glaring through four rounds. Golovkin struggling to get started.
