Canelo Álvarez minimized Gennady Golovkin: “It's personal”

Although Canelo Álvarez is on the verge of one of the most dangerous fights of his career, as he will face the undefeated light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol, the reality is that boxer tapatio keeps receiving questions about Gennady Golovkin and his third fight agreed for Sept.

Due to the vibrant moments they offered in 2017 and 2018, which culminated in a draw and a close victory for Saul, the third fight between the two has been highly anticipated by a large number of fans and analysts, who have claimed for the third reel since the last bell rang.

It was finally confirmed that in the coming months the revenge could take place, so due to the high expectation that there is, the questions in each media exhibition usually carry some topic related to the Kazakh fighter, so this time Canelo himself was responsible for heating up the fight again.

The man from Jalisco gave his perception about Golovkin and talked about his last match against Olympic medallist Ryoto Murata, a fight that Canelo has not even seen completely, so at the moment he has focused on highlights.

“I didn't see the fight against Murata, I've seen some of the highlights, but it was as we expected, that he will win by knockout,” said El Tapatio for the channel No Puedes Play Boxeo, where he explained that fighting against the Kazakh boxer usually involves more than pure professionalism.

These words occur in the context of verbal confrontations between the two, since they do not usually remain silent when one talks about the other, so this statement was along the lines that Canelo Álvarez has handled in recent months and has already generated a direct response from Kazakh.

In mid-March, in an interview with The Sun newspaper, Golovkin again questioned Canelo's decisions in relation to one more combat and the way in which he has handled the third chapter of their rivalry. For GGG, the fact that tapatio qualifies the fight as a “personal” event is an action “too low” for a professional boxer.

“There's no bad blood on my part, but seeing how he approaches it saying it's personal, where have you been after our second fight? , let too much time pass. Why did he accumulate so much bad blood? It's unprofessional, too low for a fighter to approach it that way,” he said.
