  • Gennady Golovkin and Saul “Canelo” Alvarez fought to a draw in the hotly-anticipated world middleweight title showdown in Las Vegas.

    Golovkin was bidding to defend his WBC, WBA and IBF belts against Alvarez in the bout at the T-Mobile Arena.

    But the match was too close to call, with the judges declaring a split draw at the end of 12 rounds – when many believed that Govolkin would walk away the unified champion.

    The scores declared by the judges were: 118-110 (Alvarez), 115-113 (Golovkin) and 114-114.

    Twitter reacted in kind.
