The 2016 Olympic champion, and now the first heavyweight professional boxer, Evgeny Tishchenko, in a conversation with , said he expected more activity from the Mexican. Saul Alvarez in the third fight with a Kazakh Gennady Golovkin.
The third fight between Alvarez and Golovkin took place in Las Vegas on Sunday morning. The Mexican defended his WBO, IBF, WBA and WBC super middleweight titles, winning by unanimous decision.
“The result was not surprising, but I expected Canelo to be more active. Golovkin is 40 years old and age is taking its toll. I was surprised by the judges who gave an adequate mark, even if Canelo was even a little bit more confident. And compare 115:113 in that fight and in Bivol’s win over Alvarez. Dima then won much more convincingly. But today I’d give Alvarez the win with a score of 116:112. The fight, in principle, was not bad, but I think Golovkin is unlikely to surprise us with anything else,” Tishchenko told .
Golovkin holds the IBF, IBO and WBA middleweight championship belts.
Previously, the athletes met in the ring in 2017 and 2018. The first fight ended in a draw, the second fight was won by a split decision by Alvarez judges.
