How to watch Canelo vs GGG III in Australia

It’s finally here! After two fierce matches, the boxing world gets the long-anticipated third meeting between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. Which of these boxing superstars will have the last laugh in this historic fight feud?

Canelo vs GGG III fight preview

Five years ago, Canelo Alvarez encountered Gennady Golovkin for the first time, producing a middleweight fight for the ages. That first bout was marked as a split draw, however many pundits credited the Kazakhstani boxer as the better performer on the night, yet the virtue of the stalemate saw the Mexican retain his titles.

Enraged by the outcry, Canelo made it of paramount importance to defeat GGG and show the world he was better than his opponent. He was able to do that with a majority decision just a year after in the re-match. Without a unanimous decision, Golovkin still believed the rivalry was unsettled and has made it his duty to make it a trilogy. While Canelo has been less enamoured to take the fight initially, it’s on and ready to be settled.

Canelo’s change of heart was most likely prompted by his difficult transition to the light heavyweight division as he lost to Dmitry Bivol. To prompt a payday after his defeat, he gave live boxing fans want they wanted in this historic super middleweight showdown.

Despite now being aged 40, GGG has shifted his game to stay relevant and effective in the division. This was evident by his ninth-round stoppage victory over Ryota Murata in Japan, as he retained his titles and won the WBA super middleweight belt, to earn this trilogy fight.

When is Canelo vs GGG III?

The event is set to take place on Saturday, September 17th live from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The officially scheduled ring walk times are yet to be confirmed but given the location, you can expect it won’t be a regular fight time for us here in Australia.

Tale of the tape: Canelo vs GGG III

This third meeting has all the makings to be an absolute classic. On paper, Canelo Alvarez has the dominance over the division and is the younger man in this fight, yet has never had to come back from adversity like his last defeat.

Canelo Alvarez: Four-Weight Champion

Canelo’s record speaks for itself: 57 wins from 61 professional fights – with 39 of them coming via knockout, this Mexican fighter has consistently looked to collect silverware across multiple weight divisions.

However, with two losses now on his record, Alvarez’s overall resume and pride took a major dint. He’ll be able to shift the necessary weight down to super middleweight relatively easily, where he’ll be able to summon his power more efficiently.

Gennady Golovkin: The Triple G Boxer

While Golovkin states he’s comfortable at super middleweight, the fact remains that he’s 40 years old and shifting up for this fight – having never fought in this weight class before. If he still has the cardiovascular endurance to carry this weight and then uses it efficiently against his biggest adversary, he’ll be able to make it more than competitive – and could leave Las Vegas as the super middleweight champion.

Canelo vs GGG III fight card

The rest of the card is expected to live up to the high expectations of the main event, with numerous title fights. Jesse Rodriguez facing off against Mexico’s Israel Gonzalez for the WBC Super Flyweight championship in a highly anticipated match.

A little further down there’s another title on the line as the undefeated Austin Williams goes up against the Englishman, Kieron Conway in a bout that will determine who takes the WBA International Middleweight belt home.
