Canelo Alvarez and Gennady "GGG" Golovkin will step into the ring with one another once again in the hope of deciding the best middleweight in the world just a tad under a year after they met for the first time. Canelo vs. GGG 2 will be one of the most anticipated championship boxing rematches in history by the time the bell rings, and we are here to ensure you are along for the ride throughout the entire fight on Saturday night live from Las Vegas.
The first meeting between these two power punchers did not go as everyone had hoped. Last September in Las Vegas, Alvarez and GGG went the entire 12 rounds with the bout controversially being ruled a draw. The rematch was inevitable from that moment, although it's taking place a little later than originally expected. The second bout was scheduled to take place on May 5, but failed drug tests on the part of Alvarez followed by a subsequent six-month suspension put a halt to those plans.
Thankfully, the two sides were able to come to terms for this date on Saturday night, and fight fans everywhere are eagerly anticipating watching these two throw with each other for the second time. Take a look at our full slate of expert picks and predictions for Canelo vs. GGG 2 -- and enjoy the show.
