By Dan Ambrose: Gennady Golovkin’s trainer Abel Sanchez says the rematch with Saul Canelo Alvarez is farther away today than it should be due to the Mexican star not having enrolled in a drug testing program since he was given a 6-month suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission last month on April 18 after testing positive twice for clenbuterol.
By Sean Jones: Trainer Abel Sanhcez says the main reason Gennady Golovkin wants to fight on the Cinco de Mayo holiday this weekend on May 5 is because he feels that he’s Mexican. Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) was supposed to be facing Mexican superstar Saul Canelo Alvarez on the May 5 fight date, but he pulled out of the fight just ahead of his April 18 meeting with the Nevada State Athletic Commission for his hearing on his 2 positive tests for clenbuterol.
By Dan Ambrose: Trainer Abel Sanchez says the reason why Daniel Jacobs did not perform well against Maciej Sulecki last Saturday night is because of the wear and tear he took in his fight against Gennady Golovkin last year in March.
