By Jim Dower: Trainer Abel Sanchez says it’s up to Saul Canelo Alvarez to prove his innocence when he meets with the Nevada State Athletic Commission on April 10 for him to answer their questions about why he failed 2 drug tests in February for clenbuterol while preparing for his rematch with unbeaten IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin for their May 5th rematch.
By Sean Jones: Gennady Golovkin was unable to keep Saul Canelo Alvarez from running from him during their fight last September. Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) had trained for what he thought would be “Mexican style” of fighting from Canelo, but what he got instead was a blend of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Erislandy Lara with a lot of fighting on the ropes, and a lot of round-stalling movement.
By Sean Jones: Abel Sanchez, the trainer for middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin, says he’s still waiting for the Nevada State Athletic Commission to complete their investigation of Saul Canelo Alvarez for his positive test for the banned substance clenbuterol.
By Sean Jones: Abel Sanchez says he thinks Saul Canelo Alvarez’s excuse of having tested positive for clenbuterol from eating tainted meat is a “lame” excuse, and he believes that if Gennady ‘GGG’ Golovkin had tested positive for the same drug, he’d have been suspended right now and there wouldn’t be a rematch on May 5th on HBO PPV.

By Dan Ambrose: Abel Sanchez says Saul Canelo Alvarez’s trainer Chepo Reynoso should have known which type of meats to avoid eating to prevent being exposed to clenbuterol.
