Boxing superfight ends in draw

SHARE ON:

For years, boxing fans clamored for a fight that many prognosticators believed to be a stylistic matchup that could rival that of the heavyweight fights from boxing’s golden age.

On one side, Gennady Gennadyevich Golovkin, more famously known as GGG, was a man who was dropping fighters left and right in boxing’s middleweight division. Golovkin is a pressure fighter who relentlessly stalks his opponents and bombards them with his fiery heavy-hitting fists. Despite having an undefeated record, his legacy has always been questioned because of the lack of a career defining win.

In the other corner, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, was a rising star in the boxing ranks, gaining the reputation as the sport’s next cash cow following the retirement of the likes of megastars Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao.
