Canelo Alvarez provided a conclusive finish to his trilogy with Gennadiy Golovkin.
He won a clear unanimous decision to defend his undisputed super-middleweight championship at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Mexico’s Alvarez and Kazakhstan’s Golovkin share a fraught history. They had two excellent middleweight title fights in 2017 and 2018.
But their first bout finished in a bitterly contested draw. Their second fight was delayed when Alvarez was handed a six-month suspension for an adverse finding in a drug test which he blamed on eating contaminated meat.
The Mexican did win that second encounter on a close majority decision, but never comprehensively got the better of Golovkin.
