By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Three weeks after the Money circus finally left Las Vegas, it was the fight to save “real” boxing. And for nearly every one of 36 minutes, it delivered.

LAS VEGAS – Even Canelo Alvarez’s scorecard differed greatly from the one Adalaide Byrd submitted last September 16. Alvarez told a group of reporters Tuesday that he feels he won seven of 12 rounds against Gennady Golovkin, which would’ve given the Mexican icon a 115-113 victory in their middleweight title fight. Byrd infamously scored what was a very competitive fight 118-110 for Alvarez, whom she credited for winning 10 of 12 rounds.

Canelo Alvarez began boxing as a professional six months before Gennady Golovkin and has 13 more fights on his pro record. The 28-year-old Alvarez is the notably younger fighter, however, eight years younger than the undefeated middleweight champion he’ll fight again Saturday night. Golovkin turned 36 five months ago and some fans and reporters suspect age could give Alvarez a decided advantage in their 12-round rematch at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Last month, BoxingScene.com and other members of the media caught up with former three-division champion "Sugar" Shane Mosley at his Nevada Boxing Hall of Fame induction. Other inductees included Laila Ali and Chris Byrd.
This Saturday night from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the rematch between Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs) and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) takes place. Last year they fought to a draw and many observers now believe it is the Mexican superstar that comes in with the edge this time around.
By Lyle Fitzsimmons - Coverage of boxing from the sport’s dedicated media and the mainstream media that parachutes in for larger fights both tend to ride raves of hysteria. When Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin met this time last year, the sport seemed to be in a bit of a transitionary period. It was one month remov...
