Event Details
The best sports bar in New Orleans for the best fight action is the American Sports Saloon, with 70+ TVs, amplified sound, great food and drink, and no bad seat in the house. So whether you're here for Jazz Fest, or just in New Orleans for the weekend, come and join the party.
The superfight will unify the WBA (Super), WBC, IBF The Ring, and Lineal Middleweight championships.
Álvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) is a fully-fledged 160-pound middleweight after his dominant decision victory over Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. on May 6, 2017. His only loss was a majority decision to Mayweather in 2013.
Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) is widely regarded as one of the best pound-for-pound boxers in the world, and has defended his titles 18 consecutive times. Popularly known as “GGG,” Golovkin has been seeking a match against Álvarez for some time. A victory for Golovkin would give him a strong claim to being called the best pound-for-pound fighter in the world.
