The Nevada Athletic Commission has appointed the referee and three ringside judges for next month’s rematch between unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) and Canelo Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs).
Only one of the three judges who worked their first fight, a controversial split draw last September, is set to score the rematch. Dave Moretti had it 115-113 Golovkin, but neither Don Trella (114-114) nor Adelaide Byrd (118-110 Canelo) will be part of the second matchup. These two slots have been filled by highly regarded New Jersey-based Steve Weisfeld, who is often an unofficial scorer on Showtime boxing broadcasts, and Connecticut-based Glenn Feldman.
