Via Dan Ambrose: Matchroom boxing promoter Eddie Hearn predicts the fight in a trilogy between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin on September 17 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
There’s so much bad blood between these two fighters that they won’t be able to hold back when they hit the ring for the long-awaited trio on DAZN pay-per-view.
Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) deserves to be angry about his two fights with Canelo because he fought well enough to win at least one of them, maybe even both. two.
It’s hard not to look at the first two matches and think that the Nevada umpires were generous to side boxer A Canelo when he scored.
If you’re Golovkin, you have to think about the knockout because if it comes to the scorecard, chances are the referee will give it to Canelo. He is money-hungry; the guy who takes the fans to Las Vegas to spend their hard earned green money every time he fights in that city.
With Golovkin already 40 years old, he is not as important to the city of Las Vegas as the 31-year-old Canelo.
So if there is any bias towards the referee giving it to a boxer that will help the city, you have to guess that the Mexican star will be the one to get the nod if the match is over or even when not.
Canelo is no longer invincible
“It was a big fight,” said Eddie Hearn Against TV Hub about the trio match between Canelo Alvarez and Gennadiy Golovkin on September 17. “That loss. [to Dmitry Bivol] really changed a lot of people’s perception of the struggle.
“Canelo has an invincible atmosphere about him going into the fight with Bivol. I know how tough that fight was, but people just assumed that Canelo was the king of balance and could get to two divisions or one division, and he just kept winning. He lost.
“I think that the invincible atmosphere is no longer in Canelo Alvarez now. GGG will look into that. People can criticize him [Golovkin] performance against [Ryota] Murata.
“He was out for 400 days. He went to Japan to start slow, then went over to put the number up and stopped. I think it was a good performance.
“I think this war will be absolutely brutal. There’s no way this fight will last 12 rounds because GGG knows this is his last roll of the dice. Canelo Alvarez wants to defy GGG, and tomorrow, I want to see it in the press conference.
“I will do everything I can to get rid of that because they don’t like each other. So let’s let each other know rather than a small comment on the media. Hearn said.
A lot of people expect Golovkin and Canelo to talk trash in their kick-off press conference this Friday because that’s not in their nature.
In the past, Golovkin’s former coach, Abel Sanchez, was the one who said rubbish to create friction between him and Canelo.
Ever since Golovkin replaced Sanchez with Johnathon Banks, the press conferences for some of the little fights he’s had over the past four years have become dull, brimming with glee.
Golovkin’s objection did not want to talk to him because he helped them a lot in choosing them. They do not intend to bite the nurturing hand by saying bad things about Golovkin.
Learn how to instigate trash talk
“I might not be very famous tomorrow, but I want to build this fight into one of the biggest fights I’ve ever been in, one of the biggest fights in boxing,” Hearn said. made it clear that he plans a mastermind for the Canelo-Golovkin III launch press conference on Friday.
With the reported low pay-per-view numbers for Canelo’s recent fight against WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol on DAZN PPV, it was important for Hearn to act as the instigator on Friday. Those two will put boxing fans to sleep with their soft verbal exchanges.
“I really thought it was going to be a horror movie; I think it will be one of the best three. If Canelo beat Bivol, people would say, ‘Oh, that’s Bivol.’ They are always looking for an excuse.
“Look at Canelo Alvarez’s resume; unbelievable. So he wants this fight. The first two battles were epic, the two tough battles. He wants this fight. We signed this deal before the fight with Bivol, so you really have a choice.
“Do you play against GGG or do you try a rematch with Bivol? The answer is that I want to do both, but this is my chance for the GGG trio. People want to see it. You still have those tough guys in boxing who say, ‘Well, I’m not very excited about the fight.’
“F*** off. Do me a favor; it’s a fight and it’s going to be September 17th and everyone will be watching. People keep talking about different wars that will get bigger. There are two worlds.
“There is the world you and I live in every day, which is the world of heavyweight boxing because we are, and then the big world.
“A lot of the big fights in the world of heavyweight boxing, people no longer seem to know how big they are on a global scale. You’re talking about two symbols in Canelo and GGG,” Hearn said.
Canelo wants to make a statement
“They’ve given us 24 rounds of great entertainment and they’re not coming to us for another 12, but a lot,” Hearn said. “I think he wants to,” Hearn said when asked if Canelo wanted to make a statement against Golovkin.
“We’ll see how honest he is tomorrow. He wants to knock him down; he wants to beat him. I think GGG, who feels as if he won the first two teamfights, would feel like, ‘I have to do more; I have to equalize in this fight. ‘
“I think it will catch fire on the first ring, and I think it will be a brutal, brutal fight. I can’t see him not wanting a rematch with Bivol,” Hearn said of Canelo.
