Canelo vs GGG 3 LIVE! Boxing result, fight stream, latest updates and reaction after Alvarez beats Golovkin

Canelo vs GGG 3 LIVE!

Saul Canelo Alvarez settled his long-running feud with Gennady Golovkin by producing a dominant victory in Las Vegas on Saturday night. The pound-for-pound great executed the perfect gameplan in front of a partisan crowd on Mexican Independence weekend at the T-Mobile Arena, cruising to a comfortable unanimous decision win that finally closes the book on one of modern boxing’s most enduring and high-profile recent rivalries.

Canelo plans to avenge his shock defeat by light-heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol next after retaining his undisputed super-middleweight status, but first he will require a rest and likely surgery on a long-running left hand injury. Golovkin, meanwhile, says he has no plans to retire aged 40 and could now seek to become undisputed back at middleweight, where he is still a unified champion.

An intriguing undercard tonight saw boxing’s youngest active world champion Jesse ‘Bam’ Rodriguez successfully defend his WBC super-flyweight title against Israel Gonzalez, while Britain’s Kieron Conway was bested by Austin ‘Ammo’ Williams and Gabriel Rosado was shut out by Ali Akhmedov.
