Mexico's Saul "Canelo" Alvarez dethroned unified middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin by majority decision here Saturday to win a hardfought rematch.

Alvarez showed skill and durability to outlast Golovkin in another attritional battle between the two rivals at the T-Mobile Arena, one year after they had fought to a draw in their first meeting. 

With one judge scoring it even at 114-114, Alvarez claimed the win after two judges scored it 115-113 in his favour.
