Third fight OK with Alvarez

BOXING Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is open to a third fight against Gennady Golovkin after taking a points decision and the Kazakh’s WBC and WBA middleweight titles in Las Vegas.

Billed Canelo v GGG II, the fight came nearly a year to the day since a split-decision draw left Golovkin stunned.

Triple G was stunned again with a tight decision favouring the Mexican, with two judges scoring the fight 115-113 and the third 114-114.

Speaking after the fight, Canelo, pictured, said: “If the people want a third fight, we will do it again. But for now, I want to enjoy the moment with my family and my people. He’s a great fighter but I’m a great fighter and I showed it tonight.”
