The third showdown between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady “GGG” Golovkin did not disappoint.
As much as the boxers themselves, boxing trilogies have long helped frame the epochs of their sport. Rubber matches such as Ali vs. Frazier, Ali vs. Norton, Patterson vs. Johansson, Zale vs. Graziano, and other triptychs determined who was the better of two evenly matched masters of the American martial art.
Given the astronomical pay-per-view numbers and the high quality of the two fights, it would have been logical for promoters to arrange a third deciding contest immediately. Then again, logic and boxing have not always been good partners. After his 2018 victory, Alvarez mowed down a series of vaunted opponents, copping both the super-middleweight and light-heavyweight belts. Last year, Alvarez was honored byas the best pound-for-pound boxer on the planet, an honor once bestowed on GGG. Then, however, in May 2022, Alvarez caught a case of hubris and challenged light heavyweight champ Dmitry Bivol. In a surprising upset, Alvarez was roundly beaten.
During the fifth act of the trilogy, Golovkin seemed to come alive. The fighter who used to be referred to as a “beast” showed some ferocity, moving forward, and scoring with respectable uppercuts and rights, but the dynamite just wasn’t there, even though he was attacking a tiring Alvarez.
