— -- There is good reason to believe that a second helping of Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez will be better than their first fight.

As well as being a more exciting encounter, boxing also needs the May 5 rematch to be controversy-free after the Sep. 16 fight ended in a disputed split points draw.

Judge Don Trella scored it even and judge Dave Moretti had it 115-113 for GGG while judge Adalaide Byrd was heavily criticized for a 118-110 verdict for Canelo.

"This is terrible for sport, for boxing," said Golovkin after the fight.

What can we expect from GGG-Canelo II and what are the big issues?

The rematch will be a different story
