The fight became very dirty in the last minutes by both boxers, taking goals but resorting to hugs, and it seems that the cards will be who will define the winner tonight.
11th round
They threw punches, Golovkin is trying but being a little dirty with mistimed punches and clinches. Canelo resisting, but also getting into the exchange of punches in a very even episode.
10th round
Golovkin has woken up and tried to pull out punches to even the scorecards, although Canelo has not let his guard down and has also answered him. The last 6 minutes promise a lot.

7th round
He started the fight in an explosive way but was diluted. Golovkin is not taking risks and is not throwing the punches he used to show in his fights. Canelo at this moment is handling the fight.
6th round
Little by little Golovkin seems to be starting to come forward with punches, but the Kazakh is unable to find himself in the ring. Canelo is dominating and dropping those hooks to soften up his opponent.
5th round
Canelo's powerful volado that sent Golovkin staggering, who had previously stumbled as a result of another blow from Saul Alvarez.

The crowd is now shouting Canelo, Canelo, before a Mexican who is pushing the pace because Saul is proposing the fight, he is going forward in search of the win.

Little by little Canelo's power punches start to come and Golovkin had to resort to clinching and reducing the distance to appease the Mexican. The Kazakh still doesn't look comfortable and it's costing him the fight.
2nd round
Canelo with more agility and who tries to carry the rhythm of the fight against a Golovkin who does not look as comfortable as in other occasions and a little static.
1st round
First episode of full knowledge where neither of the two really dared to release courageous blows and tried more to take care of the guard and defense, before the cry of Mexico in the stands.

Now it's time for the main fight between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
The victory
By unanimous decision, Rodriguez pulled out the win without major problems against Gonzalez to get the victory.

Gonzalez tried but it was not enough, Rodriguez looks like he will win on the cards, but in a moment we will know the decision.
11th round
Gonzalez again took two hits down and had to breathe for a moment, although neither was awarded by the referee. Rodriguez will have to hold off the onslaught down the stretch to see if he can pull out the win.
10th round
Rodriguez continues to be the better fighter, who was 1-2 on several occasions against a tired Gonzalez, who already has swelling in his face and will have to look for strength to get the knockout in the last two rounds.
8vo round
Gonzalez received a low blow and Rodriguez was deducted a point for hitting in the wrong area, although, despite this, he dominated the fight, especially in the last rounds by taking control of the fight and throwing the better punches.
6th round
Rodriguez and Gonzalez give their all in the ring, although the highlight is that at the end of the round they put Canelo on the screen and you can see how he is preparing.
5th round
Rodriguez was more of a flyer and more daring, but Gonzalez continues to get his way and has never let himself be put on the ropes. Overall the bout is still very even and sure to be close on the scorecards.
3rd round
Both boxers determined to get the win, but with intelligence. A very even fight after the first 3 rounds and 9 minutes.
1st round
Gonzalez and Rodriguez unleashing power punches despite being the first few minutes, in a relatively familiar round.

Start
The fight of the year has arrived and here we bring you all the details. Canelo Alvarez is looking to return to victory when he faces Gennady Golovkin. We begin with VAVEL's coverage of the boxing event.
Ryan Garcia goes to Golovkin
Ryan Garcia, former Canelo Team member, commented that he believes this fight could be won by the Kazakh and it is nothing personal against Saul Alvarez.
"Before I would have said that Canelo would win, but now it's not like that anymore. Now I see things differently and I think Golovkin has the advantage to win this fight," he told DAZN.
Who the winner is up against
There has been much talk in recent hours that the winner of this fight would go against the American of Mexican descent Ryan Garcia. Although Golovkin, it should be noted, is already over 40 years old and a retirement could be latent at any time.
Will be in video game
For the first time in his career, Canelo Alvarez will appear in a video game and it will be in the eSports Boxing Club, which will feature some stars and where the Mexican could not miss.

Canelo answered him
For his part, Canelo defended himself and commented on why he has said what he has said since Golovkin is two-faced and not friendly as he wants to make him believe.
"It's personal for me. I don't pretend to be someone different, I can't appear in media or other places and say things and then pretend it wasn't so. It's personal, he talked a lot of things about me and you guys know that. I can't wait to be in the ring. He's different, he pretends to be friendly but he's an asshole. He pretends to be funny and that everything is fine, but in other places he talks shit, that's how it is," he commented.
Nothing personal
Gennady Golovkin indicated that the fights above the ring he doesn't take them personally and everything Canelo has commented he won't respond to because "he doesn't want to lower himself to his level."
"For me, it's just another fight, albeit with an outstanding boxer and a very interesting boxer. It's going to be interesting, but again, nothing personal. Take my opponent against Dmitry Bivol, there was nothing personal in that fight, it was just boxing. "It's just business, just boxing. I don't see any reason to get into personal details about it, it's not worth it. The way he (Canelo) has behaved over the last four years, I don't want to stoop to his level," he sentenced.
