By Jim Dower: Eric Gomez of Golden Boy Promotions says he plans on having a sit down meeting with Saul “Canelo” Alvarez in the next few weeks to decide on whether they’ll be going ahead with the rematch with IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin for May 5 next year.
By Sean Jones: Saul “Canelo” Alvarez can adjust and beat IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin easier in their rematch, says Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez. He’s convinced that Canelo did enough to beat Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) by 9 rounds to 3 score last Saturday night, which would put him in the same ballpark as judge Adelaide Byrd when it comes to scoring the Canelo-Golovkin fight. The fight was ruled a 12-round draw for their match at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Sean Jones: Eric Gomez of Golden Boy Promotions is committed to putting together the rematch between Golden Boy star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) and IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) for a fight at a still to be determined date. Gomez says Canelo-GGG absolutely need a “tie-breaker” because their previous fight last Saturday night was a “tie”, with the judges scoring it as a controversial 12 round draw at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.
By Dan Ambrose: Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez wants unbeaten middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin and his promoter Tom Loeffler that they are the B-side in the equation for a fight against Mexican star Saul “Canelo” Alvarez if that fight takes place.
Gomez wants Golovkin and Loeffler to know that they don’t draw as well as Canelo, and because of that, he’s not on board with them getting a percentage split of the revenue for a mega-fight beaten the two middleweights.
