Canelo Alvarez reveals he needs SURGERY on his left hand immediately after beating Gennady Golovkin via unanimous decision in pair’s final chapter
Canelo Alvarez revealed he required an operation on his left hand immediately after beating fierce rival Gennady Golovkin via unanimous decision in their trilogy bout in Las Vegas.
Four years after the fighters’ most recent meeting ended in a narrow, disputed victory for Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs), the four-division world champion left little doubt about this verdict.
The 32-year-old Mexican star delivered a comprehensive pummeling of the now-40-year-old Golovkin (42-2-1) in the first eight rounds, repeatedly testing Triple G’s famed chin with combinations and overhand rights.
The judges all scored it surprisingly closely for Alvarez: 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113.
