Bookies Are Backing Canelo to Settle the Score With Triple G

Every so often, we see a boxing bout that gets followers of the fight game excited but also captures the imagination of sports fans across the board. Whether you are an avid follower of the noble art or you’re more into the likes of NFL, NBA or English Premier League soccer, the chances are you will be aware this bout is happening and will have an opinion on who should win it. You may even be planning to watch the action with friends and family on TV.

The third – and probably final – fight between Saul and Gennady promises to be every bit as exciting as the last two. A victory for Alvarez would give him a 2-0 lead over his rival, proving beyond all doubt that he is the best of his era. Golovkin has never beaten Alvarez, fighting out a hotly disputed draw in their first meeting and then losing the second. Will it be third time lucky for the Kazakh KO artist?

Bookies backing Canelo

What do traders working at the top sportsbooks in Las Vegas make of this one? Bookies aren’t always right, we already know this and have seen evidence of it many times, but it’s usually worth checking in to see what they expect. Is there any value to be had in backing Alvarez to claim a second win and remain unbeaten against GGG? Will Golovkin fire back and score a win that would level things up?
