BOXING: 10 QUESTIONS ABOUT THE FIGHT

Gennady Golovkin vs. Canelo Alvarez

Unified middleweight world titleholder Gennady Golovkin will defend his belts against former champion Canelo Alvarez on Saturday, Sept. 16.

-Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) has 18 straight defenses in the division and is looking to get closer to the record held by Bernardo Hopkins, who made 20 middleweight title defenses between 1994 and 2005.

-Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) will now campaign as a full-fledged 160-pound middleweight following his one-sided unanimous decision victory against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6. Alvarez hasn't lost a fight since dropping a majority decision against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

Alvarez will fight for the eighth time around Mexican Independence Day (Sept. 16) and is 6-1 in those fights. He’s gotten a knockout win in all six of the wins and his one loss was to Floyd Mayweather.

Golovkin will make his 19th consecutive middleweight title defense since winning the WBA middleweight title in 2010. Golovkin’s 18 consecutive middleweight title defenses are the second-most in division history behind Bernard Hopkins’ 20 from 1995 to 2005.
