In Their Words: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (Ring Life)

[Evil Abed]

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has quickly emerged as something more than a hard-punching, red-haired Mexican attraction, having thumped Matthew Hatton in March in a unanimous decision to earn a vacant junior middleweight belt at the precocious age of 20. On Sept. 17, as part of a split-site co-feature with the Victor Ortiz-Floyd Mayweather Jr. bout, Alvarez will make his second defense against Alfonso Gomez at the Staples Center in Los Angeles (HBO PPV). But first, Alvarez has agreed to discuss an array of topics as part of an ongoing feature leading up to the fight.

On how his fans in Mexico compare to those in the U.S., and when he realized he had crossed over as a star in America:
All fans are good to me and support me the most. There is nothing to compare since all are equal in support. When I fight in Mexico, many people come out to support me in everything I do, especially in the gym. The night of the fight is no different because I have always fought in filled arenas, and this is due to the support of my people. In the U.S., I've seen that the fans are starting to recognize my work in the ring, and that fills me with pride and satisfaction.

[I realized I'd crossed over] when people started asking me to sign autographs at the same amount or more than in Mexico, which motivates me more. Curiously, in every place I stop -- at any shop, arena or even on the plane when I am traveling -- I notice the fans recognize me and I'm very pleased that things have gotten to where they are. I know there's a long way to go, but we are ready to get stronger.

My first championship was the WBC junior middleweight title.
I won in a 12-round unanimous decision over Matthew Hatton earlier this year. The support of my fans was amazing. It's a difficult feeling to explain, but being world champion was my first dream [I hoped] to accomplish. I realized that dreams come true if you work hard. It is very difficult to reach that goal, but never impossible. For me, there is no dream that's impossible. I fought 12 hard rounds, and Matthew was very tough. At the end of the fight, when my name was announced with my hand held high, I knew this was not a dream anymore.

Look back here for more from Alvarez next week.

Slow your role son.

Don't come crying in my thread because Mak ****d you silly in your own.

Take a shower, burn your clothes and move on.

[BoxingGenius27]

If you say so.

I would just like to know your personal view points over copying and pasting everyone. Anyone can do that.

I post relevant boxing info from different sources around the internet and allow people to give their own opinions.

Nothing special about it. Just something I like to do

and I don't use blogs to enforce my own opinion by the way.

Exactly. That's all he does.

Heck, at least STRUGG is original. Although, I'm sure STRUGG know's how to copy and paste if he wants.

Twitter's a nice tool. I might be addicted. Quickest way to get the info.

I've seen Phantom share his thought plenty of times
