Gennady Golovkin: record, next fight and profile →
Mauricio Sulaiman, president of the World Boxing Council (WBC), is expecting a very dangerous fight for both participants when IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin face Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez in a rematch. The contest takes place on September 15 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
At the corporate auditorium of Interjet, World Boxing Council President Mauricio Sulaimán, Julio Gamero - who is the Commercial Executive Director of Interjet - along with the Boxing Commission of Mexico City President Ciro Nucci and the Director in Mexico of the Vegas Convention Visitors, Benjamín Díaz, presented the special Chiapas designed "Adolfo López Mateos" WBC world title that will be presented to the winner of the fight between Gennady Golovkin and Saul Alvarez on September 15th.
Former IBF middleweight world champion David Lemieux (39-4, 33 KOs) of Montreal, Canada is not concerned with the bold words from Ireland's Gary “Spike” O’Sullivan (28-2, 20 KOs), as they are less than a month away from their fireworks showdown.
It’s not just that Canelo Alvarez twice tested positive for clenbuterol, according to Abel Sanchez. Gennady Golovkin’s trainer says he and Golovkin also are bothered by what he considers a continuous attempt by Alvarez and his handlers to make it as if the Mexican icon’s performance-enhancing drug ordeal never happened. Sanchez doesn’t think they’ve accepted any real responsibility for what occurred and that’s why there has been so much harsh criticism from Golovkin’s side since Alvarez’s two positive tests in February led to his six-month suspension and the cancelation of their rematch May 5.
Daniel Jacobs is convinced Billy Joe Saunders wants no part of him. Saunders insists that isn’t true. In fact, if Saunders defeats Demetrius Andrade in what figures to be a difficult fight October 20 and can’t land a shot at the winner of the Gennady Golovkin-Canelo Alvarez rematch, the unbeaten WBO middleweight champion says he would want to face Jacobs next.
Canelo Alvarez won’t have fought in almost exactly a year when he enters the ring for his rematch against Gennady Golovkin next month. Alvarez’s trainers, Eddy Reynoso and Jose “Chepo” Reynoso, don’t think their fighter’s long layoff will adversely affect the Mexican icon when he squares off with the 36-year-old defending middleweight champion for the second time. In fact, they expect the 28-year-old Alvarez to be better and sharper in just his second fight at the middleweight limit of 160 pounds.
Chepo Reynoso, the co-trainer of Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs), rejected the recent constant claims from veteran trainer Abel Sanchez, who handles IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin (38-0-1, 34 KOs).
Mexican star Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) is very motivated from all of the trash talk that has come from the mouths of IBO, WBC, WBA middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and his head trainer Abel Sanchez. Canelo will challenge Golovkin for a second time on September, 15th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Abel Sanchez hit back at Saul "Canelo" Alvarez on Wednesday after being branded a "dumbass" by the Mexican fighter ahead of next month's rematch with middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin. In a scathing blog post, Alvarez took aim at Sanchez after the veteran coach accused him of "running" during last year's drawn first meeting with Golovkin in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin now know who’ll score their rematch if it goes the distance. The Nevada State Athletic Commission has assigned Connecticut’s Glenn Feldman, Nevada’s Dave Moretti and New Jersey’s Steve Weisfeld to work their second 12-round, 160-pound middleweight championship match September 15 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Bob Bennett, the NSAC’s executive director, suggested those three judges to the five-member commission, which approved them Wednesday during the NSAC’s monthly meeting in Las Vegas.
