Gennady Golovkin boxing news
By Jim Dower: Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez has no idea what kind of punching power Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin has going for him, says HBO commentator Jim Lampley. He believes that Canelo (49-1-1, 34 KOs) is misguided with his belief that he knows how hard Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) is going to be hitting just based on the 2 sparring sessions he had with him 7 years ago.
Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez has told Gennady Golovkin to “bring it” as the pair kicked-off fight week ahead of their toe-to-toe clash on Saturday night.
Taking place live on BoxNation Box Office in the UK for just £16.95, or available to BoxNation subscribers, the flame-haired Canelo wants to give fans the fight they have long yearned for and warned knockout king Golovkin to be ready during their Grand Arrivals at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.

By Gav Duthie: For boxing fans Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin 37-0 (33) v Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez 49-1-1 (34) is the fight of the year no doubt. The worlds media, journalists, boxers, ex-boxers, promoters and networks can’t see it being anything other than a classic encounter. Both fighters have a fan friendly style and are often involved in action packed fights. I, however, am not sure it will be the all-out war that people expect. Looking historically there are a lot of similarities between Golovkin and middleweight legend Marvin Hagler. I just can’t decide if this fight will be like his against John Mugabi or Sugar Ray Leonard.
A lot has been made over the sparring sessions between Boxing’s No. 1 superhero and undefeated WBC/WBA/IBF/IBO middleweight world champion GENNADY “GGG” GOLOVKIN (37-0, 33 KOs) and The Ring magazine and lineal middleweight champion CANELO ALVAREZ (49-1-1, 34 KOs) which took place many years ago. Golovkin, boxing’s longest-reigning world champion, has discounted the significance of those sessions.
By Jeff Aranow: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is sounding out of this world confident going into his fight this Saturday night against IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin. Canelo has increased his trash talking by another level, as he’s now saying he would have knocked out all the same guys that Golovkin did during his career. Canelo seems to be trying to suggest that he’s the same knockout puncher that Golovkin is.
