The feud between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin is far from over.

Alvarez added another title to his middleweight collection this past weekend (Sat. May 4, 2019). He defeated Daniel Jacobs for the IBF middleweight title of the world. In attendance for the fight was former Alvarez foe Gennady Golovkin. “GGG” was not impressed by his rival’s performance inside the ring.

In response, Alvarez said he’s glad his “fan” was in attendance to watch him fight (via Boxing Scene):

“It ‘s good that he comes to see me, it’s good that he’s my fan. I’m grateful to have won, there’s more work to do and we’re going to get even stronger,” Canelo said.

Alvarez and Golovkin first met back in September of 2017. Both men fought hard after 12 rounds, but the public consensus was that Golovkin had out-classed the Mexican star enough to earn the decision. However, fans were shocked when a Split Draw decision was read.

They rematched a year later, with a much closer fight after 12 rounds. This time, Alvarez was awarded the Majority Decision win, in another controversial ruling. It remains to be seen what’s next for Alvarez, but a rematch with Golovkin is very much in play. As for “GGG,” he will face Steve Rolls from Madison Square Garden on June 8.

Canelo Alvarez and Daniel Jacobs met for a unified middleweight championship bout inside the T-Mobile Arena from Las Vegas, Nevada last night (Sat. May 4, 2019).

Alvarez’s WBA (Super), WBC, The Ring, and lineal middleweight titles were on the line, as was Jacobs’ IBF middleweight strap. Alvarez looked to control the fight early on. He showed some great movement and counter-punching ability. His defensive tactics against Jacobs were probably the best we have ever seen from the Mexican star.

However, Jacobs changed the course of the fight in the middle rounds when he connected on a huge hook. From then on out, Alvarez showed more respect for Jacobs’ power, and “The Miracle Man” began to put together his punches. Although Jacobs had a much better second half, making the affair a more competitive one, it wasn’t enough for the win.

Alvarez took home the unanimous decision and added Jacobs’ IBF middleweight strap to his collection. Check out the highlights here:
