Oscar De La Hoya was underwhelmed by the final act of the trilogy in which he once played a significant role.

LAS VEGAS – Canelo Alvarez’s genuine disdain for Gennadiy Golovkin has been evident every time they’ve come face-to-face in recent months.

The two-time world champion Kenia Enriquez (24-1, 10KO) is looking to have a big finish to 2022 and even bigger 2023.
