By Sean Jones: Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya says he’s very surprised that IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin is the favorite to beat his fighter Saul Canelo Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) in their fight on September 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Sean Jones: Oscar De La Hoya says Saul Canelo Alvarez has something to prove to Gennady “GGG” Golovkin in their fight on September 16. Canelo (49-1-1, 34 KOs) wants to prove himself when he gets GGG inside the ring. Canelo has a chip on his shoulders about being perceived by the boxing public as ducking Golovkin for the last 2 years. There’s nothing that can change that perception obviously.

By Allan Fox: Oscar De La Hoya says he wanted to make sure that he snatched the September 16th date in Las Vegas for the Saul Canelo Alvarez vs. Gennady “GGG” Golovkin BEFORE Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor could take the date.

By Jeff Aranow: Oscar De La Hoya is already predicting that his fighter Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) will be knocking out middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) in their fight in 3 months on September 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

By Scott Gilfoid: Oscar De La Hoya is one of many in the boxing world that was super impressed with unbeaten Errol Spence Jr. (22-0, 19 KOs) with his 11th round TKO win over IBF welterweight champion Kell Brook (36-2, 25 KOs) at Bramall Lane in Sheffield, England. Spence was brave enough to go to Brook’s backyard, break him down with big power shots to the body and head until the 31-year-old quit on one knee in round 11.
