Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin 3
Published

By
J. HumzaSaul “Canelo” Alvarez completed his trilogy with Gennady Golovkin, retaining the undisputed super middleweight crown with a points victory on Saturday at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The pair have shared the ring twice before – the first meeting in September 2017 was a draw and the second was overshadowed by Alvarez, although there were arguments for Golovkin to win in at least one of their fights.
Since their last meeting, Canelo has swept the super middleweight division and also reigned supreme at delicate heavyweight, but suffered a shock defeat to Dmitry Bivol in May.
His rival has won four fights since the September 2018 rematch, unifying the IBF and WBA super middleweight titles last time out by defeating Ryota Murata in the ninth round in Japan in April.
Golovkin started cautiously, while Alvarez arguably overshadowed the first round with more flashy action.
The match got off to a rocky start, with Canelo landing decent right hands, Golovkin capitalizing on his jab in round two, and the action picked up in round three as the Mexican got to the body and applied pressure.
The Kazakh seemed timid in the first four rounds and Alvarez sensed it, landing in handcuffs in the fourth round, but in the fifth the 40-year-old got out of the situation a bit better and Canelo landed a powerful overhand punch right at the end of the round.
After a quieter sixth and seventh rounds in which Canelo once again came out on top, he upped the ante in round eight, landing stiff, demanding shots that Golovkin slowly managed to counter.
“GGG” finally let go and moved forward with his best round yet in the ninth round as the two traded opponents, but it seemed like it wasn’t too tardy to start the championship sessions.
Golovkin was competitive again in the tenth and continued to march forward in the penultimate set, but ultimately needed a knockout to win as the fight reached the final three minutes.
It didn’t look like it would ever happen, but he fought until the end when the fight went down in the cards.
Two 115-113 scores and a third 116-112 sealed the victory for Alvarez, although the margins looked much closer than they should have been and the couple embraced after splitting three battles.
Rodriguez defended his world title
(Pictured) Jessie “Bam” Rodriguez successfully defended his WBC super flyweight title for the second time, overcoming a snail-paced start to his match against the dashing Israel Gonzalez to win by unanimous decision.
Gonzalez (28-5-1, 11 KO) impressed in the first half of the fight before Rodriguez (17-0, 11 KO) gradually gained ground in the fight.
The champion was docked a point for low blows in the eighth and was forced to work demanding against the Mexican, who had previously failed three times in his world title fight.
Rodriguez was lucky not to lose another point in the penultimate frame when another low blow came in, but he ended up with two far too wide cards, 118-109 and 117-110 respectively, and a third at a more reasonable 114-113.
Akhmedov defeats Rosado
Ali Akhmedov (19-1, 14 KOs) won the vacant WBC Silver and IBF North American super middleweight titles with a resounding points victory over Gabe Rosado (26-16-1, 15 KOs).

Three scores 100-90 proved the Kazakh’s superiority.
Williams overtakes Conway
Austin “Ammo” Williams won the vacant WBA International middleweight title with a unanimous decision victory over Kieron Conway of Northampton.
Conway (18-3-1, 4 KOs) was dropped in the ninth round by a right uppercut from Williams (12-0, 9 KOs), but was competitive, especially in the middle rounds.
Williams won by two scores of 97-92 and the third by a score of 96-93.
Undercard remaining
Diego Pacheco remained undefeated and also won the vacant WBC United States super middleweight title by knocking out Enrique Collazo in the fifth round.
Pacheco (16-0, 13 KO) defeated Collazo (16-3-1, 11 KO) with a powerful right hand, and after the Puerto Rican beat the count, Pacheco’s double-fisted attack forced the referee to intervene.
In a fight between undefeated Aaron Aponte (6-0-1, 2 KOs) and Fernando Angel Molina (8-0-1, 3 KOs), the two failed to separate after eight rounds in the super lightweight division.

Arnold Barboza Jr vs Danielito Zorrilla – Results and Fight Report

J. HumzaArnold Barboza Jr stayed on course for a world title fight, winning the vacant WBO Intercontinental super lightweight title by a landslide decision Danielito Zorilla at the Pechanga Resort & Casino in Temecula, California.
Both men came into the scheduled ten-round contest undefeated, and the home team emerged victorious. Barboza Jr (27-0, KO10) was on a three-fight winning streak of ten rounds, the last of which nearly knocked out Antonio Moran last August, while the Puerto Rican Zorilla (16-1, KO12) was unknown but ended with a stunning second-round knockout of former world title challenger Pablo Cesar Cano.
Barboza was simply too lively for Zorrilla in this one, starting with a solid body shot in the opening frame before countering well and landing an uppercut in the second. After a still third, Barboza seemed to briefly stun Zorrilla with a right hand in the fourth and landed another solid combination to end the fifth frame.
Barboza was almost always one step ahead, and after a few more confident rounds in which he repeatedly wobbled the guy, he seemed well ahead heading into the final session. Zorrilla rallied for the finish, landing an uppercut of his own in the ninth, and as the fight wound down, he landed a few flush shots on the tiring Barboza who reached the final bell.

One score of 98-92 and a third score of 97-93 secured the match victory for the 30-year-old Barboza.
Elsewhere, also with a super lithe, substantial hit Raymond Muratalla (15-0, KO12) they had to settle for winning eight rounds Jair Valtierra (16-2, KO8).Muratalla scored a fourth-round knockdown but was unable to dislodge Valtierra from the fight, ultimately winning 80-71 on all three scorecards.

In the heavyweight division Stephan Shaw (17-0, KO13) I wasted some time dropping Bernardo Marquez (14-5-1, KO10) three times en route to a first-round victory. The heavyweight’s second highlight also lasted less than a round, as Richard Torrez (2-0, KO2) sent Roberto Zavala Jr. (2-2-1, KO2) in less than a minute.
Jorge Marron Jr (20-3-2, KO7) AND Adrian Yung (28-7-3, KO22) couldn’t be separated in their six-round welterweight bout as both fought to a majority draw.
Floyd Diaz (6-0, KO2) arrested Pedro Salome (3-1-1, KO1) in three rounds and a featherweight prospect Austin Brooks (7-0, KO2) won all four rounds against Victor Saravia (1-3, KO1).

J. HumzaHamza Sheraz headlined the Frank Warren-promoted event at the Copperbox in London last night, winning the vacant WBC Silver middleweight title with a fifth-round stoppage Francisco Emanuel Torres in a wild fight that included four knockdowns.
Sheeraz has made peaceful progress in professional boxing thus far, while Torres was held to a ten-round draw by the incoming Jose Benavidez Jr.
Sheraz (16-0, KO12) he started steadily and after a serene opening, a straight right hand staggered the guest in the second quarter, and the Argentine fell in the third quarter after a shot Sheraz left hand Sheraz made a mistake reaching the finish line, and Torres scored a knockdown of his own with a counter right hand.

It was a lightning-fast knockdown and Sheraz nailed Torres (17-4-1, KO5) a strenuous right hand for the third time knocking down the frame. After a milder fourth, Sheraz counter sprung into action, ending the fight with a powerful right hand that dropped Torres once again, but this time the referee stopped the action.
Watch the full fight here:
In what could have been a major event in itself, Mark Heffron (28-2-1, KO22) won the British, Commonwealth and vacant IBF Intercontinental super middleweight titles via fifth-round stoppage Lennox Clarke (20-2-1, KO8).
Heffron hurt Clarke in the first round with a solid right to the head and the pair took turns dishing out punishment, but Heffron was always looking one step ahead and hurt Clarke again in the fourth with body shots. A left hand disoriented Clarke in the fifth set and another attack with volleys to the head and body forced the referee to intervene, much to Clarke’s protest. Third time lucky for Heffron, who had failed on his two previous attempts at the Lonsdale Belt.

McCann stunned Beech early on and swarmed all over the Midlander until he finally touched down. McCann dominated the fight and scored another knockdown in the eighth with a right hand chop, and although Beech beat the count, another attack sent Beech into a frenzy.

Chris Billam-Smith vs. Isaac Chamberlain – Results and Fight Report

J. HumzaBournemouth International Centre witnessed the homecoming Chris Billam-Smith (15-1, KO 11)and successfully defended his European and Commonwealth cruiserweight titles, scoring great points Isaac Chamberlain (14-1).
Billam-Smith last dropped a fight in April when he knocked out Tommy McCarthy in the eighth round of their rematch, while Chamberlain needed less than a round to stop former world title challenger Dilan Prasovic last December.
The pair unloaded in the first round, with Billam-Smith landing several piercing right hands. Backed by a raucous home crowd, the champion staggered Chamberlain in the second with a couple of ponderous punches, but Chamberlain responded by stunning Billam-Smith with a large right hand in a pulsating frame of action, but the home host hurt Chamberlain again slow in the round. Billam-Smith worked the body well in the third, but the next few rounds were demanding to come by, with both finding success.
It was an energy-sapping affair and it seemed as if Chamberlain was gaining the upper hand after the half, but in the eighth the fight turned again with Billam-Smith taking Chamberlain down and landing powerful shots and he clearly outmatched his opponent. The evidence of this was ninth and tenth places as Chamberlain ran out of energy and Billam-Smith’s engine was impressive as he controlled the championship distance perfectly, dominating the championship rounds as the event came to a thrilling close.
AWESOME FINALE! 🤯🤯
