BOXING: CANELO ALVAREZ AND GENNADY GOLOVKIN PUT-ON A GREAT SHOW BUT IT ENDED IN A CONTROVERSIAL DRAW


Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez and Gennady 'GGG' Golovkin came at the T-Mobile Arena to fight and they did just that, fight!
It was a great bout watched by 22,358 boxing fans in the T-Mobile Arena and worldwide...

The fight that got Alvarez starting well and winning the earlier rounds lived up to expectations of many...


Golovkin or better known as Triple G came through the mid rounds with a fury of uncontested shots making Alvarez backup more and move around more...

Alvarez woke up in the 10th, 11th and final 12th round but it was a bit late...


The controversial part is that one of the judges looked at the bout as a draw...

The score cards read 118-110 (Adalaide Bryd) for Alvarez, 115-113 (Dave Moretti) for Golovkin and Don Trella scored a controversial split draw 114-114...


The power of GGG was absent whereby throwing less power punches (32%) than Alvarez (42%)...

It was the 1st time GGG failed to get a decisive win with a flawless 37-0 record on his back...

It is the 2nd draw for Alvarez with a record of 49-1-2... 

Golovkin will keep all his belts (WBC, WBA, IBO and IBF)
