Golovkin v Alvarez - Everything you need to know ahead of the fight
Now that the hype over Floyd Mayweather v Conor McGregor has come and gone, the boxing world has turned its focus to what should be one of the best fights in recent memory; Gennady Golovkin vs Canelo Alvarez. In a clash being billed as the ‘Supremacy’, the WBA, WBC, IBF and The Ring middleweight belts will all be on the line. We’ve taken a look at everything you need to know ahead of the super fight.
The fight will be held at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on Saturday, September 16th. UK viewers will either need to have a late night or early morning as the fight isn’t set to take place until 3am on Sunday morning.
The fight is available for UK viewers on PPV channel Box Nation for £16.95. ???
Anyone who’d like to see these two go at it again in the future should hope for a Golovkin win. In an interview with the LA Times, Eric Gomez, the president of Golden Boy Promotions revealed that Alvarez had an immediate rematch clause in place on his contract, whereas Golovkin, if he loses, won’t be guaranteed a rematch.
Golovkin is undefeated in his 37 fights and he’s won 33 of those by knockout. Alvarez has only lost one of his 51 fights and that was to Floyd Mayweather, and there’s no shame losing to him! With all the belts on the line, something has to give.
The undefeated, and now retired, Floyd Mayweather thinks that Alvarez will hand Golovkin his first loss. He said: “Do I think Triple G can beat Canelo? Absolutely not. I think there’s a few guys that can beat Triple G, and Canelo is on the top of the list. I believe that he’ll beat him. He’s got good punching power, but he’s flat-footed.”
Heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is good friends with Canelo and as such, he’s picking him to win too. He said: “So I have been riding with Canelo for a long time but it’s going to be a tough fight because Triple G is from Kazakhstan, he has the good foundations of a boxer. But so has Canelo, so I’ll put my money on him.”
Amir Khan, who lost to Alvarez in 2016, is also picking the upset. He said: “I honestly think he beats Triple G. A lot of people underestimate him, I don’t know why. I’ve been in the ring with Canelo. I’ve never been in the ring with Triple G, but I’ve been in the ring with Canelo and he’s hard to hit. He’s quite tricky and like I said he hits very hard, so you have to give him that respect. I think that he gives a lot of people problems.”
The bookmakers currently have Golovkin as the 4/6 favourite. Alvarez is 6/5 with the draw available at 25/1.
Such is the power of the two fighters, it’s quite surprising to that the bookies have the fight going the distance. They have a points decision available at 8/11 with a stoppage priced at Evens.

Re: Golovkin-Canelo OFFICIAL!!!- Sept 16th
Britain's Nicola Adams will fight on the Saul Alvarez v Gennady Golovkin undercard in Las Vegas on 16 September.
The double Olympic champion, who turned professional in January, is making her debut in the United States and takes on Hungarian Alexandra Vlajk.
She beat Virginia Carcamo and Mexico's Maryan Salazar in her first two bouts.
"Every boxer dreams of fighting in Vegas and to be doing so as part of the biggest fight of the year is incredible," said 34-year-old Adams.
Unbeaten WBA, WBC and IBF middleweight champion Golovkin takes on 'Canelo' Alvarez in what Adams' promoter Frank Warren has called "among the best fights to be made in the last decade".
In confirming Adams' fight on social media on Thursday, Warren added: "This is without doubt the boxing event of 2017, and I am delighted that Nicola has the chance to showcase her skills on such a huge bill.
"For Nicola to be part of it is brilliant for her and women's boxing.
"I have every confidence that Nicola will become a world champion in the professional ranks."
Leeds' Adams has set her sights on winning a world title following victories in her first two professional fights.
The flyweight began in Manchester with a comfortable points win over Argentinian Virginia Carcamo before forcing a stoppage against game Mexican Maryan Salazar in her home city of Leeds.
Her next opponent Vlajk, 37, has won 11 of her 17 contests and stopped two opponents since turning professional in 2013. She has banked over 114 rounds, compared to Adams' seven.

I am definitely staying up for this fight. GGG and I have been waiting for this fight for 18 months and he will do it.
I'm looking forward to it @Master

It was only 26th August (when I stayed up all night and you got lucky waking up late but because the fight was delayed) when we watched Fraud v Colin McGregor. :)

I've asked that several times and for some reason people seem reluctant to answer it

Jacobs would beat Canelo, too big and strong for him.
