Alvarez, Golovkin not leaning on history in trilogy finale

SAN DIEGO: Although four years are an eternity in sports, Canelo Alvarez still remembers every round of his two fights with Gennady Golovkin. He recalls every tactical decision and momentum shift during those now-distant meetings with arguably his greatest rival.

But as he prepares for their third meeting in Las Vegas, Alvarez doesn’t plan to call on those memories very much. Four years to the weekend after they last met, Canelo doesn’t think there’s much to be gained from preparing to fight a boxing memory.
