Main event
An important part of boxing is determining a winner, but it can also be difficult to determine a victor when two fighters have very different styles. After 24 rounds of some of the most incredible punches seen in the sport, Gennady Golovkin delivered one final blow on Saturday night to put away Saul Canelo Alvarez for good.
The judges had already had their say throughout the fight (many favoring Canelo), but ultimately even they had to award Golovkin with his win. In the end, despite popular opinion outside of boxing circles, Golovkin walked away as an undefeated champion after defeating Canelo by unanimous decision.

Pros & Cons
Pros- boxing is an exhilarating way to get exercise in a group setting and socialize with friends. One might feel energized after working out due to the adrenaline rushes that come from sparring or training for an upcoming fight. This can translate into feeling more alert, focused, and less stressed overall. Cons- boxing puts great stress on the body as it takes constant physical tolls on the body and doesn’t lend itself well to anybody who is trying to work up an appetite before they eat a meal. For those reasons, boxing is not recommended as an activity for children or anyone else who is recovering from illness or surgery.
