My body remembers.

Every time, before every big fight, my body remembers what to do.

And it’s no different this week, before I face Canelo Álvarez on Saturday night.

Each day before the fight, it gets bigger. Bigger and bigger. Until fight night. That’s when Gennady Golovkin becomes GGG in the ring.

It’s been happening again, these last few months, up at our camp in Big Bear, California. Gennady to GGG. As I get ready to fight Canelo, what people say is the biggest fight of my career, my body, my mind are both getting ready to step into the ring.

And when I do, it is like a shark in the ocean. If you go in the ocean, the shark knows. He’s home. It’s the same for me in the ring … Let’s do it.
