Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennadiy Golovkin 3: Fight card, odds, PPV price, start time, date, complete guide

The trilogy comes to a close on Saturday night in Las Vegas when the pair of knockout artists collide

The final chapter of an epic trilogy is set to be written on Saturday night in Las Vegas. Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin are set to slug it out for a third time at the T-Mobile Arena with all four major titles in the super middleweight division on the line (8 p.m. ET, DAZN PPV -- subscribe now).

The two first met five years ago at middleweight (still considered by many to be too late for the veteran Golovkin to finally get his chance) but that fight ended in an unsatisfying split draw mostly due to a head-scratching scorecard from Adalaide Byrd. Many believed GGG had done enough to win, so immediate calls for a rematch rang out.

There’s something about September at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. In 2017 and 2018, the venue hosted middleweight world titles fights between Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin as autumn fell, and the same will be the case this year.

Those first two fights saw Golovkin installed as a slight favorite over Canelo given his reputation and incredible knockout streak earlier in his career. But with how things have played out for the veteran -- and the explosion into superstardom for Alvarez -- the Mexican enters the trilogy as a massive favorite of -500. Of note, Alvarez was around the same price for his fight with Dmitry Bivol in May where he suffered his first loss in nine years by decision.

September 2017, September 2018, September 2022; on Saturday night, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin will complete their trilogy at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, where they have already squared off twice in the last five years.

The rivals’ first in-ring meeting ended in great controversy, the result being a split draw when most felt that Golovkin had clearly done enough to emerge victorious. The rematch 12 months later was not free of
