Gennady Golovkin only seems to know how to repel his longtime nemesis, Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez.
In less than a month, the two fighters will meet in the ring to write the third chapter of their controversial title fight. Golovkin, currently training in California, told journalist Ernest Amador that he believes he has support in his endeavor from some uncertain place.
“I know my legacy and what I will leave is written in boxing. It will remain for generations to come, but for sure when the time comes, I will certainly enjoy talking to my grandchildren, if I have them, about what I have done and left as a legacy. on the ring. “
Many Mexicans love me and no one in Kazakhstan loves Canelo.”
Leading the way, and despite their bitter history, ‘Triple G’ remained undaunted – smiling during press conferences and talking about respect for his opponent. This, does not seem appropriate for Canelo.
In a recent interview with BBC Sport, he said his goal is to retire Golovkin. He further explained:
“It’s personal because he’s said a lot about me over the years, so that’s why it’s personal to me.”
“When he was in front of me, he didn’t say anything – ‘I respect him, I respect his career and this and this’ – but what you said in the meetings? interview and in other places?”
“I think I’ll finish him off before round 12. I’ll put all my boxing skills, all my boxing experience to get this done.”
Canelo went on to say he was a ‘more dangerous fighter’ after his loss to Bivol. The Mexican superstar was ecstatic and dominant that night – a rare sight in the sport.
In need of a win and fueled by Golovkin’s jabs in the media, Alvarez will almost certainly start the 25th pair’s matchorder round each other fiercely as ever. Golovkin also has points to deal with – the first game ended in a draw with the second a razor-thin decisive victory for the Mexicans. Many fans felt that Golovkin should have been given a nod at least once.
The duo battle trio, will vie for Canelo’s super-middleweight title, set on September 17 in Las Vegas.
