Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin III Odds: BetUS Make Canelo -500 Favorite

In little over five weeks, boxing fans across the globe will be glued to their television screens to watch the highly anticipated meeting between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.

Almost four years to the day since their last meeting in which the Mexican won a majority decision, the feud is set to finally be put to bed once and for all, this time at super middleweight. The winner will walk away as the undisputed super middleweight champion of the world as the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF, WBO and The Ring belts are all up for grabs.

For Golovkin, this will be his first time competing at super middleweight in his career, while it will be Alvarez’s sixth bout as this weight, giving him a distinct advantage in the contest. Alvarez’s last bout saw him fight at light heavyweight when he took on the challenge of fighting Dmitry Bivol.
