The long wait is over
as the maddest boxing event this year, the Gennady
Golovkin – Canelo Alvarez II will take place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas
tomorrow and be aired on HBO Pay-Pay-View.
Both warriors from
Kazakhstan and Mexico made weight and was on prescribe weight limit at 159.6
lbs and 159.4 lbs for Gennady (38-0-1,
34 KOs) and Canelo (49-1-2, 34 KOs) respectively.
The two will be
battling out for WBC, WBA and IBO title
belts that’s currently owned by Golovkin.
The traditional stare-down
got heated when Canelo rushed toward Golovkin’s face and invaded his space. But
the knockout artist from Kazakh stayed gentle and answered Canelo with a dead
stare.
The hype and hate is
evident.
The two was instantly
separated by a mass of security personnel and other staff.
After the weigh-in,
Golovkin addressed to the crowd that tomorrow's even’t won’t be just a regular boxing
show but a massive war and called Canelo a clown.
“I saw he’s like a clown, he’s like a showman. He’s not true guy.” “Tomorrow
you’ll see a real war. This isn’t a fight, this is not regular fight. This is
like special war.” – Gennady Golovkin
Alvarez on the other
end, pointed that he’s motivated and very excited for the 13th round
to start.
“I got excited from seeing all the fans. They motivated me to do that
right now and more than anything you’re going to see. I defeated him at the
weigh-in, now it’s time to defeat him on Saturday.” “I don’t like to talk.
Tomorrow I will show you instead of words.”– Canelo
Alvarez through interpreter
Both fighters
promised that the fight will end in a dramatic way.
PREDICTION
On their first
meeting, I had Triple G ahead with 7-5 rounds against Canelo. But wasn’t too impressed
by what he (Gennady) has shown.
I know Golovkin has
the right tool to stop Alvarez, and it is possible if he correct his mistakes and
made some adjustments.
The key is to put
more pressure and to land the “righteous right hand”.
The jab is there and
it’s good but jab alone won’t be enough to beat Canelo.
I guess somewhere in
round 8 or 9, he will caught Canelo in a corner and drop the A-Bomb!
