A look at previous fights between Gennady Golovkin and Canelo Alvarez
The rivalry between the best technicians of this generation began in 2017 when the duo collided for the first time. The fight ended in a controversial draw. As per the expectations, both fighters lived up to the pretty intense hype and landed an incredibly close contest.
GGG out-jabbed Canelo but could not match the power shots of the Mexican icon. This paved the way for the second fight.
The second battle landed a year later in 2018 and was labeled as the fight of the year. T-Mobile Arena witnessed the memorable event. The fight ended with a majority decision victory in Canelo’s favor. However, the verdict never satisfied Golovkin, and that gave voice to the third fight.
