Saul Alvarez Begins Tough Camp For Lovemore Ndou
By Jhonny Gonzalez
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is back in the gym and back to work. The undefeated Mexican sensation is getting back in proper form after his impressive victory on September 18 against Argentina's Carlos Baldomir, who was knocked out in six rounds at the Staples Center in California. Alvarez is now preparing to meet IBO welterweight champion Lovemore Ndou on December 4 in Mexico. Ndou will face Alvarez at the junior middleweight limit.
"We know who our opponent will be. He is an Australian. I'm not sure of his name but I've seen videos of him and I saw some of his qualities. I saw that he's a very strong fighter and he's fast, so we have to keep working hard," said Alvarez to Simone Gonzalez. "I want to finish the year with a big win and look impressive doing it and then look forward to 2011."
Alvarez says that he is not distracted by his recent engagement to Marisol Gonzalez. He will continue to train hard, fix any mistakes and sharpen his skills.
"I do my work. I think distractions are for weak minded people, which is not my case," said 20-year-old fighter. "I've had about three weeks of training since returning from a rest period. I felt great. I'm training hard with my morning runs, then go to do weights and work my abs, and then I come to train in the gym. We are fine tuning things and I'm aware that I still need to learn new things."
