The battle for ‘Supremacy’ ended in disappointment last year after Saul ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin battled for 12 rounds at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, NV. The fight was thrilling, and it did great PPV numbers (1.3million), but the contest was controversially ruled as a draw. This is despite many onlookers thinking GGG did enough to win the fight. The infamous Adelaide Byrd disagreed with this, scoring 118-110 for Álvarez.
But now, a year and a day since the first fight, we get to forget about the stifling draw, and the Álvarez’s tainted meat saga, and just focus on one of the very best match-ups contemporary boxing has to offer.
