Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez doesn’t mind playing the role of villain for this or any other fight. Just don’t ask him to buy into the ‘Good Boy’ act projected by longtime bitter rival Gennadiy ‘GGG’ Golovkin. “He’s two different people,” Alvarez said of Golovkin during a kickoff press conference Friday afternoon at Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles. “He pretends to be a nice guy but he’s not. He’s an assh-le. He really is. He pretends to be a nice guy. ‘Oh yes, I’m just here for the fans and I’m happy.’ Then in other places, he just talks a lot of sh!t.

Jaime Munguia understands the reason that countryman Gilbert ‘Zurdo’ Ramirez would love to next face Dmitry Bivol. The pursuit of a second divisional title—Bivol holds the WBA lightweight belt—is appealing to the unbeaten former super middleweight titlist. More so for Ramirez, however, is the desire to avenge a defeat suffered by Mexican countryman Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez who dropped a twelve-round decision to Bivol on May 7 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez was universally considered boxing’s best pound-for-pound fighter until Dmitry Bivol pumped the brakes on the Mexican star’s ascent, handing him just his second loss of his career and first defeat in nine years.
