Judges, referee selected for Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady Golovkin rematch
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.
