Tonight in Las Vegas, Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin met in a much anticipated rematch of their first meeting last year.
It will likely go down as the biggest boxing event of the year, and as such, naturally drew plenty of attention from other fighters — both from boxing and mixed martial arts.
Check out what some of the MMA professionals had to say in the social clips below:

I got it 3-2 GGG but scorecards could be all over the place might be headed to another draw

Crazy to see how the styles of this fight switched for both fighters. Canelo is using strong FWD pressure against GGG. #CaneloGGG2

GGG seems to be fading. Much different fight tonight.
