While much of the sports world has been focused on Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor over the past couple of weeks, it’s easy to forget that the real Fight of the Year is actually happening on September 16.

May-Mac is likely to draw a larger audience simply because it’s so unlike anything we’ve ever seen before, but in terms of effect on the boxing landscape, it doesn’t get any bigger than Saul “Canelo” Alvarez vs. Gennady “Triple-G” Golovkin.

Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming superfight for the WBC, WBA, IBF and IBO World middleweight titles:

Preview

Triple-G may be the slight favorite with about two months to go until the anticipated showdown, but lines are slowly moving in the direction of the 27-year-old Mexican, who most recently dismantled Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in methodical fashion to run his winning streak to seven fights since a loss to Floyd Mayweather in 2013.

Per OddsShark, Golovkin opened as a -175 favorite, while Alvarez was a +138 underdog. The movements have been small, sure, but it’s clear the early money has come in on Canelo.

And it’s not too difficult to see why that’s happening. While Canelo looked fantastic his last time out, GGG most recently struggled to put away Daniel Jacobs, ultimately walking away from the March 18 fight with a unanimous decision victory.

“Personally, I think Canelo stops him in 9 or 10,” said Willie Monroe Jr., who lost to Golovkin via sixth-round TKO in May 2015. “It’s funny, right after I fought Golovkin, 15 minutes after I got out of the ring, they said, ‘Who do you think will win out of Canelo and Golovkin,’ and I said, ‘Canelo will win.’ I found out that Golovkin is a midrange fighter. If you’re too far away from him, he’s just going to walk you down and cut off the ring. If you’re too close to him, he can’t get off. If you’re right in his wheelhouse, right in his power, that’s where he’s really dangerous.”

Still, bettors and pundits often times have short memories.

Golovkin may not have dominated Jacobs, but each of his previous 23 wins all ended before the final round, with 21 of those coming via the KO or TKO variety. This is still a truly dangerous individual, boasting a devastating blend of power and skill, and one underwhelming victory doesn’t immediately take away six years of dominating the middleweight division.

Canelo may be younger, and the bets may be trending his direction, but this is still really difficult to predict. These are two of the best pound-for-pound fighters on the planet, and separating them isn’t easy.

Hopefully that’s the case on September 16, too.
