LAS VEGAS (AP) — Canelo Álvarez decisively won his third ring meeting with Gennady Golovkin on Saturday night, earning a unanimous-decision victory in the final bout of their entertaining trilogy.

The 32-year-old Mexican star delivered a comprehensive pummeling of the now-40-year-old Golovkin, repeatedly testing Triple G’s famed chin with combinations and overhand rights. Golovkin started far too slowly and appeared to fall behind with no clear strategy to take the initiative away from Álvarez.
