Saturday night’s rematch between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin lasted 36 minutes but at the sound of the final bell, Alvarez won by majority decision, with judges seeing the bout 114-114, 115-113 and 115-113. However according to many, the scores could have easily been declared in favor of Golovkin, or could have brought the two another draw like their original fight. Alvarez was crowned the new middleweight champion of the world, ending GGG’s stronghold title reign.
