Canelo

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez said he will need surgery on his left hand before seeking a possible rematch with Dmitry Bivol after handing bitter rival Gennadiy ...

"It's very important for my legacy, for me, for my pride, for my country, for my family. "I need surgery on my hand after this because I'm not good from my left hand. The Russian will take on Gilberto Ramirez in a light heavyweight title fight in Abu Dhabi on Nov.

For all his successes and talent, Gennadiy Golovkin is destined to be remembered as Saúl Álvarez's foil.

After the fight was delayed while Álvarez served a suspension for testing positive for clenbuterol (he blamed tainted meat he ate in Mexico and said he stopped eating beef), Golovkin called his onetime sparring partner a drug cheat. “He pretends to be a good person and be different, but he’s not.” Whether he fights Bivol next, or somebody else, it seems Álvarez’s future resides in the super middleweight and light heavyweight divisions, one more reason his struggle with Golovkin is finally over. Golovkin won most of the later rounds on the judges’ scorecards, and he has to wonder what would have happened had he begun the fight aggressively. The king of his rivalry with Golovkin certainly, finally. It was perhaps an incongruous statement coming from Álvarez, ever the showman, considering he was wearing a crown as he said it. Fight weekends are always big in Las Vegas, and this time tens of thousands of Mexicans and Mexican Americans descended on The Strip to celebrate Mexico’s Independence Day, which was on Friday, in proximity to its favorite fighter. The judges scored the fight 116-112, 115-113 and 115-113 in favor of Álvarez, scoring that did not do Álvarez’s dominant win justice. Golovkin spent the first two-thirds of the fight weakly probing with his left jab and tagged Álvarez with damaging punches only when he abandoned caution late. Golovkin, 40, is such a fearsome puncher — he has won all of his professional fights against boxers not named Saúl Álvarez, and almost all of them by knockout — that he is regularly avoided. To be remembered as the fighter whose greatest value lay in providing a canvas for Álvarez, known as Canelo, to paint on. Golovkin, then, over the course of 24 rounds, stuck as closely to Álvarez as anybody has.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez says he may not return to the ring for a full year with the Mexican superstar desperate for a rest and set to undergo surgery on wrist ...

It is not broken, it is an meniscus [injury], a wrist injury. so maybe in May, September, I don’t know. ‘Last year I fought four times in 11 months, so that is why. ‘But I’m going to take my time, my body needs it,’ he said. I need surgery. I was like: ‘It’s, okay, later, later.’ Then it started really bad.

Canelo Álvarez ended his long rivalry with Gennady Golovkin with a clear victory in their trilogy fight on Saturday.

Of course, if opportunity presents I will be looking to return in the ring.” I feel the strength and power within me. “I still have this fire burning within me. But I need rest.” Golovkin said: “I want to shake hands with Canelo. I’m glad to be involved in that kind of fight.”

At the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Mexican superstar Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) retained the IBF, WBA, WBO, WBA super middleweight titles when ...

But I’m a warrior," Canelo said. I’m a warrior. The 2018 rematch saw Canelo win a very close twelve round majority decision.

Canelo may feel some validation in finally winning unquestionably over his old foe, but in all truth this was in many ways a less impressive performance than in the second fight, even if he lost that one. A perfectly rational one to be honest, since at that point Golovkin looked old and drained and like the pace was getting to him, and that continued through round eight. In round seven things Canelo changed things up again, perhaps sensing a finish- he took the lead entirely, not waiting for opportunities to counter but pushing at Golovkin behind his own jab and throwing combinations in close. This is something he always does so it isn’t new to Golovkin, but in the first two fights Golovkin’s jab was the most prominent feature of either fight and Canelo was never able to consistently punish him for it. Instead we’ll take a look at the story of the fight, why Canelo was so dominant early and why (scores aside) he did seem to fade a bit later to allow Golovkin at least some success. Golovkin’s age is the sad part of this equation — four years ago he’d never have allowed someone over-committing in front of him to get away with it, but this time he just couldn’t get himself moving fast enough to close distance and respond.

Canelo Alvarez narrowly defeated Gennady Golovkin, according to the judges.

Canelo remains the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF & WBO super-middleweight world champion, despite horrendously close scorecards of 116-112, 115-113, 115-113. ‼️ Canelo Alvarez BEATS Gennady Golovkin by unanimous decision to end their trilogy. [September 18, 2022] 116-112, and 115-113 twice, in favour of the Mexican – meaning that if Golovkin had managed to win just one more round the result would have been announced as a majority draw. ‘Triple G’ couldn’t come up with much more than a jab, whist his Mexican opponent cycled through his range of available artillery. Well, decisive to some…

Motivated by closing his Golovkin rivalry, Canelo Alvarez made amends with his longtime foe: “We gave the fans three good fights.”

I feel fresh, still have good power, and the first opponent that comes (at me), I will be looking to return to the ring.” He’s strong and that’s why we are here, and I am glad to have shared the ring with him,” Alvarez said. “I have gone through some difficult things in my life and the only thing you can do (in defeat) is to try and continue to move forward,” Alvarez said. “He’s a real warrior.” “It is very important for me and my legacy.” Surgery is required and up to six-to-12 months of recovery, he revealed, confiding, “I can’t even pull grass.” "We had three fights that will go down in the history of boxing." “Probably a tactical mistake,” Golovkin concluded of the inactivity that plagued him. His reactions were slower than in the fierce 2017 and 2018 battles with Alvarez and he looked winded. We felt content to lay down our rivalry.” And I was able to hit him, too." He twice whiffed on left-handed blows and was relegated to repeated jabs without sufficient follow-ups.

He jogs into the Hall of Fame on a first-ballot nomination and his body of work will never be forgotten. Like Canelo over GGG, “PacMan” had a 2-0-1 lead in that trilogy, but Marquez got vindication by nailing his rival to the floor in a fourth fight. Golovkin, 40, is a magnificent warrior and one of the finest fighters of his generation. Leonard won a decision and the crowd booed during the closing stages. Golovkin was so timid with his offense over the first two thirds of the fight that Canelo racked up the rounds in second gear. Canelo walked away a 12-round unanimous decision winner, the undisputed super middleweight champ and he’ll forever hold a 2-0-1 lead in the trilogy – officially.

Congrats to Canelo." I will beat him." We trained well, and this shows that we did a very good-quality fight. "This is the best fighter in boxing. "After the eighth round came the fatigue. The fight could be divided in two parts.

T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas - In their anticipated trilogy fight, Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (58-2-2, 39 KOs) was too young and too good, as he dominated Gennadiy ...

Thank you so much for your support. “Thank you so much my friend, thank you Golovkin, thank you for everything,” Canelo said. Thank you for everything. He’s a really good fighter. The 2018 rematch saw Canelo win a very close twelve round majority decision. Their first bout, in 2017, ended in a controversial twelve round split draw.

Too many once-anticipated fights are taking place long after they should.

Make it happen while fans and the participants still care enough and can put on an amazing match. That was another dream bout that happened far too late, and the evidence was in the product. But this was probably the last big stage elite fight we’ll see GGG take part in. This was another example of a fight left on the shelf a few years past its expiration date. [long-awaited](https://www.ringtv.com/640194-on-this-day-lennox-lewis-punishes-and-knocks-out-mike-tyson-in-eight-rounds/) match in 2002 that had been talked about for almost a decade. The bottom line here is this third fight happened far too late for it to leave fans satisfied. On Saturday night, Golovkin was clearly a boxer fighting way past his prime. In the third bout, neither guy looked great, but it’s safe to say GGG is long past his prime. During that span, Canelo has grown leaps and bounds and entered his absolute peak prime years as a fighter. Alvarez and Golovkin should be congratulated for the overall trilogy and theater they’ve provided over such a long period. GGG looked every bit of 40 years old in that ring. The fight left most fans, and even those covering the battle inside the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas, underwhelmed.

Canelo Alvarez talked about his win over GGG, and got a little annoyed with questions about David Benavidez.

“To be honest, I’m really happy I managed to beat one of the best fighters in the world in Gennadiy Golovkin. But I don’t care. “I don’t know. ... When I say I don’t want to fight Mexicans, it’s because I represent Mexico. “I respect him as a fighter. Obviously I wanted to get the knockout, but it didn’t come, because he’s a great fighter. “It’s really important, three of the best fights you’ve seen. “It’s hugely satisfying to win, despite all the problems I had. I respect the judges. “I didn’t hear the scores, really. I need to take my time a little bit — maybe (fight) in May, September, I don’t know, but I need to take my time.” [Doctor explaining: “Saul has a TFCC tear, which is a piece of cartilage in the wrist, which affects the body’s ability to mobilize that joint without feeling impingement and sharp pain.

Canelo vs. Golovkin - By Craig Daly: Eddie Hearn says Dmitry Bivol could move down to 168 to challenge Canelo Alvarez for his undisputed super middleweight.

“Against Souleymane Cissokho, and tonight, he had the opportunity to do more and try and win that fight. “His movement was fantastic, and he was the deserved winner. “It was a good performance. “It all depends on interviews that come in the future. “So, you’re talking about him fighting the brilliance of Canelo Alvarez. “He was forcing the pace. “He’s probably not the fighter he was four, five, six years ago, but few are when they reach that stage in their career,” Hearn said about Golovkin.

He’s already a two-time super middleweight champion, and will be keen to have a crack at making that three. His answer was straight to the point: As for Benavidez, his last outing was a spectacular performance against David Lemieux in May of this year. It’s easy to see the beginnings of a build-up here.
