By Dan Ambrose: Oscar De La Hoya of Golden Boy Promotions sees his fighter WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (42-0-1, 30 KO’s) handing unbeaten Floyd Mayweather Jr. (44-0, 26 KO’s) his first loss of his career on September 14th in their fight on Showtime pay per view.
De La Hoya thinks he’s got the younger, stronger, smarter and more talented fighter in 23-year-old Canelo, and he expects him to beat Mayweather Jr. soundly in front of a nationwide audience. De La Hoya sees this as the beginning of big things for the junior middleweight, which Golden Boy tends to match up against a lot of welterweights.
