Member International Boxing Hall of Fame, the legendary conqueror of three weight categories, American James Toney surprised with his prediction. He believes that on September 17 in Las Vegas (USA), the age-old Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) from Kazakhstan will beat the Mexican Saul Canelo Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) and take away the title of absolute super middleweight champion .

Golovkin will win
thinks Tony. “But no, that doesn’t mean I’m some kind of hater. Canelo is a great fighter. It’s just that all those movements of his… They wouldn’t help him in a fight with me. I would take it out in 2-3 rounds. If you are standing in front of me, then you are my client. After all, that’s how I fought. He always stood in front of the opponent, made him miss and kicked his butt so hard in counterattacks. Canelo tried to do something similar. But he can’t do that.”
Golovkin and Alvarez had previously crossed paths in the ring twice: in 2017, a controversial draw was recorded, and exactly 12 months later, the Mexican won the thin one. Those fights took place in the middleweight limit. At 76.2 kg, Golovkin had never boxed before.
The other day, the ex-champion told how Golovkin should act in the third fight with Canelo. And it also became known that Hearn’s promoter has complaints about the veteran: “Why were you silent?”
