Over the past few days, we haven't gotten very much good news in the world of sports. Pretty well everything has been cancelled and fans are having to resort to watching old games. Needless to say, it's a sad state of affairs and people are starting to get fed up of it all. Combat sports have been trying to continue on but for now, it looks like everything has been delayed. Regardless, it hasn't stopped some boxing promoters from trying to negotiate new fights.
According to Lance Pugmire of The Athletic, it has been announced that Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin have agreed to a trilogy match to take place in September of 2020, should everything go smoothly. This is huge news especially when you consider how great the first two fights were.
For those who don't remember, the first match ended in a draw while the second bout was a majority decision win for Alvarez. Alvarez remains one of the elite pound for pound fighters in the world while Golovkin still has plenty of fight left in him. When these two duke it out, it will certainly be a great spectacle for boxing fans.
Let us know in the comments below who you think is going to win.
George R.R. Martin Says "Game Of Thrones" Almost Ended With A Movie Trilogy
How would three movies have changed “Game of Thrones?”
In a new interview with the German outlet Welt, George R.R. Martin says that Game of Thrones almost ended with three big movies, rather than season 8.

“We had actually considered this option: David Benioff and Dan Weiss, the two creators behind the series, actually wanted to end the saga after the seventh season with three big movies,” he said. “Game of Thrones was to end in the cinema. Four or five years ago, it was seriously discussed,” Martin said.
“Because HBO didn’t get involved,” Martin further explained. “The responsible people said, ‘We produce TV series, we’re not in the cinema business.’ And when HBO makes movies, like now with [Deadwood], then they produce it only to show it on TV – not in the cinema. Everything is changing right now. What is cinema today? What is television? What is streaming? Is Netflix now making cinema or television? Everything mixes. Today we no longer know where the boundaries are between cinema, streaming providers, and television.”
To say fan reaction to season 8 was mixed would be putting it lightly: On Rotten Tomatoes, the final season has an abysmal 31% audience rating. Would having released the final episodes as a trilogy of films changed the reaction to the ending of Game of Thrones?
