LAS VEGAS — Thankfully, Saturday was the end of the rivalry between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin, because the judges just can’t seem to get it right when those two are in the ring.
Alvarez cruised to a one-sided victory over Golovkin in their rubber match at T-Mobile Arena, winning a unanimous decision to retain his undisputed super middleweight championship.
Alvarez reasonably won 10 rounds and you could easily have given him 11 or even all 12 rounds. Golovkin didn’t have the fire that marked his Hall of Fame career. He threw few punches, never had Alvarez in difficulty and didn’t seem able to unholster his weapons.
