Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Gennadiy ‘GGG’ Golovkin will meet in an epic trilogy clash on September 17. Canelo vs. GGG III will be live on DAZN Pay Per View in the U.S. and Canada and around the world on DAZN (excluding Mexico, Latin America, and Kazakhstan) and is presented by Matchroom, Canelo Promotions and GGG Promotions.
Alvarez dared to be great once again in his last outing but was edged out by WBA World Light-Heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. Now the focus switched back to Super-Middleweight where he will defend his undisputed title against the Kazakh king, who campaigns at the weight for the first time in his storied career.
Alvarez and Golovkin have shared 24 thrilling rounds already in this hottest of rivalries and the pair will meet for a third time, five years after their first battle ended in a controversial draw and then the Mexican star edging out Golovkin via majority decision.
Both fights took place in the T-Mobile Arena, and while a venue for the trilogy bout will be revealed soon, what is in no doubt is that it will be the hottest ticket in sport when these two foes dance for the third and decisive time.
“I feel very happy and proud to be able to give the best fights and this fight won’t be an exception,” said Canelo.
“I hope to see you on September 17,” said Golovkin.
“Let’s push ahead without going backwards,” said Eddy Reynoso. “A Mexican never surrenders, let’s push forward.
“The Canelo vs. GGG trilogy is the biggest fight in boxing and I am delighted to get this made for September 17,” said Eddie Hearn. “These are two men that bitterly dislike each other and want to end this incredible series with a blistering KO.
“I truly believe this will be the most thrilling fight between these two great champions and it will be fireworks from the first bell to the last man standing.”
“What a few weeks we have had on DAZN - the biggest women’s fight of all time, an absolute barn burner in Las Vegas, and now, the highly anticipated trilogy fight between the pound for pound King Saul Canelo Alvarez and one of the biggest names in the sport Gennadiy ‘GGG’ Golovkin,” said Ed Breeze, EVP Rights, DAZN. “The last two fights between these two have been up there with the very best this century and we look forward to broadcasting it to fight fans live and worldwide on DAZN.”

Bugger will of course tune in Canelo loss has made this a little more interesting.
Still going for a MD for Canelo with a 7-5 type scorecard.

IMO he should of fought Bevol more like ggg 1.
it would be far more difficult to execute that gameplan against an opponent who holds every physical and technical advantage for that style
Bivol had a height, reach, and length, advantage..... a excellent jab..... and boxing on the outside is his natural style, so his instincts are based around mobility/defense
I think Canelo probably had to go after Bivol..... but yea, not sure what his approach will be in the rematch
the Bivol-puzzle will be much more difficult to solve than the Plodkin-puzzle
Canelo usually holds numerous advantages over his opponents, because he is very skilled and very well-rounded... so now we will find out exactly what Eddie Reynoso can bring to the table

GGG needs to go all out, pressure, and throw punches for all 12 rounds. Canelo gasses after the middle rounds, and GGG needs to take advantage of this.
He can't start late like he did in fight 1.
He can't try to outbox him like fight 2 and expect the decision.
He can't hesitate when Canelo lays on the ropes. Screw the counterpunch risk. He needs to throw.
He needs to use his awesome jab to back Canelo up and throw flurries.
If he can do this all night, he'll have a shot at the decision. Lot of question marks thought. Who knows if he can still do it.
Canelo is a MUCH better fighter than Golovkin..... and, there are multiple ways that he can win
also, Canelo knows exactly how to fight him..... he will make better adjustments, because he is more skilled and more well-rounded than Plodkin
imo, Canelo should mix it up... he should start with the same gameplan they had in the first fight, using movement / skills / ringIQ... Golovkin had no answer for that..... the reason why ALL THREE JUDGES awarded the same 5 rounds to Canelo.... is because those 5 rounds were clear, and not even close..... Golovkin was soundly out-boxed.....
..... and then Canelo should switch it up, and start to apply pressure down the stretch..... like he did in the rematch, lighting Golovkin up with that thudding bodywork and those sharp judge-friendly counters
there is a damn good reason why Golovkin avoided so many mover / spoilers... he never fought any of them, not a single one
I always knew why he was avoiding those guys, it was clearly obvious
the blueprint how to beat a puncher was established well over a hundred years ago, and we saw that in the first fight
Abel Sanchez even admitted that Golovkin's power is only effective when his opponent is standing right in front of him
which is exactly why they were pleading with Canelo to stand and fight like a Mexican..... that really was ********
props to Canelo for walking Golovkin down in the rematch..... but this time Canelo should use his skills/movement to take the fight away from Golovkin, and then apply pressure and look to punish him down the stretch
Golovkin missed well over 1000 punches in those fights..... Canelo should not give Golovkin any opportunity to settle into a rhythm that may play to his style..... he should remove those opportunities, just like he did early in the first fight
good on you for keeping the faith, but I think most people can see what is going to happen in that fight
