After losing his trilogy to Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin stopped retirement talk and said, "I am still a champion." During Saturday night's super-middleweight tournament in Las Vegas, the 40-year-old looked every bit his age at times. Canelo won by unanimous vote over by unanimous decision. In fact, the judges' final scorecards of 116-112, 115-113, and 115-113 were all flattering to the Kazakh.

Following his defeat to Canelo Alvarez in Las Vegas, Chris Eubank Jr. has called out Gennady Golovkin, imploring the 40-year-old to fight in December. With a unanimous decision victory, Golovkin came short once more against an updated Canelo. Eubank Jr. is gearing up for a grudge match against Conor Benn on October 8, but the 33-year-old is apparently already planning for what comes next.

Canelo Alvarez (left) and Gennady Golovkin (right) clash for the third time in a thrilling trilogy match, this time with all the super-middleweight belts on the line. The pair have clashed on two previous occasions, the first appearing in 2017 after Canelo won with a fortunate split-decision draw, with the majority of onlookers supporting Golovkin's call. Their second meeting, which came after the first at the T-Mobile Arena, was also tense, with the winners winning by a majority decision in a vote that was not favorable on the Kazakhstani.

Canelo Alvarez (left) and Gennady Golovkin (right), two members of an historic trilogy, will meet in Las Vegas this weekend, four years after they last met. With Canelo escaping with a split-decision draw in their first fight, the once amicable sparring partners have now fought on two previous occasions, the two teams have met in combat for the first time, with Golovkin winning by a narrower but still controversial majority decision the following year.

Gennady Golovkin (left), a tremendous 36-minute war, jolted Canelo Alvarez's head back (right) with a lasting uppercut before the final bell chimed in Sin City, pulling to a close. In an epic sequel to their tumultuous first encounter, the two legendary rivals had just put on a masterpiece under the bright lights of Las Vegas' T-Mobile Arena, exchanging fists fervently. However, there was just one champion for Golovkin. The Kazakh fighter raised one arm in the air while being held aloft in jubilation by trainer Abel Sanchez, who was unimpressed that they had won the match on the scorecards after initially embracing Canelo at the bell. What followed, however, was another contentious decision that Golovkin later refused to accept to this day. Four years, four months, and 12 days after his tragic night in Vegas, he returns to the very same arena this weekend in the hopes of making it third time lucky against Canelo (inset). Despite the fact that GGG is almost unstoppable at 40 years old, with his best days clearly behind him.

It's amazing to note that Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin, two bitter adversaries on the brink of a legendary trilogy match, were once amicable sparring partners. At the time, the two athletes only held two world titles, and with a weight class and an eight-year age difference separating them, perhaps no one would have predicted that a third grudge match would largely define their careers. Both fighters put their reputations on the line on Saturday night, performing on the Las Vegas stage once more, as the pound-for-pound stars restructured their bitter rivalry once and for all, or so we wish.
