Yet it should not be forgotten that, for most of his career, he was an implacable and ferocious world champion. He tried to build on that momentum but, in the last stretch of the fight, Álvarez cruised comfortably home. It was here, in May, that he lost for only the second time in 17 years, when he was outboxed by Dmitry Bivol. He was unable to impose himself and, especially in the first seven rounds, he looked a disconsolate version of the previously formidable middleweight champion who dominated his division for so many years. It was plain that, then, he and Golovkin were two champions of almost equal merit. Álvarez, the undisputed world super-middleweight champion, was a comprehensive winner and the only surprise was that, for once, the judges were sympathetic to Golovkin.

"I'm just glad to share the ring with him," Alvarez said. By the end of Round 3, Golovkin's face was already swollen, and a large welt emerged on his forehead. Round 10 was more of the same, with a bundle of sharp right uppercuts on the inside set up by Golovkin's excellent jab. I'm glad to be involved in that kind of fights." Golovkin is near the end but insists he'll press on with his career. Golovkin, 40, a native of Kazakhstan who fights out of Los Angeles, was down wide on all three cards entering the stretch and picked up the pace. Golovkin pumped his jab but never followed up with a right hand. The September 2018 rematch, which Alvarez won via majority decision, was far from convincing, a battle that begged for an encore. Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) started strong while Golovkin worked his jab and barely threw his powerful right hand, the punch that launched him to stardom and a legendary middleweight championship run. Alvarez said he will wait to see if he needs surgery, which according to the physician would require six to 12 weeks of rehab afterward.

Golovkin won most of the later rounds on the judges’ scorecards, and he has to wonder what would have happened had he begun the fight aggressively. The king of his rivalry with Golovkin certainly, finally. It was perhaps an incongruous statement coming from Álvarez, ever the showman, considering he was wearing a crown as he said it. Fight weekends are always big in Las Vegas, and this time tens of thousands of Mexicans and Mexican Americans descended on The Strip to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day, which was on Friday, in proximity to its favorite fighter. The judges scored the fight 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 in favor of Álvarez, scoring that did not do Álvarez’s dominant win justice. Golovkin spent the first two-thirds of the fight weakly probing with his left jab and tagged Álvarez with damaging punches only when he abandoned caution late. Golovkin, 40, is such a fearsome puncher — he has won all of his professional fights against boxers not named Saúl Álvarez, and almost all of them by knockout — that he is regularly avoided. To be remembered as the fighter whose greatest value lay in providing a canvas for Álvarez, known as Canelo, to paint on.
