Coach Jonathon Banks does not hide the plan with which his superstar Kazakhstani ward Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs) will come out with – on September 17 in Las Vegas (USA), the veteran will try to take away his Mexican antagonist Saul Canelo Alvarez (57 -2-2, 39 KOs) the title of absolute super middleweight champion.

The fighters had previously crossed paths twice in the ring. In 2017, the judges recorded a controversial draw, and 12 months later, Canelo won by a narrow margin. The Mexican is approaching the fight as a favorite, because Golovkin has already exchanged his fifth decade.

Banks argues: “The main goal is to come to the fight in top shape. No, I won’t tell Gennady that we need a slugfest. I prefer him to box first, put pressure on the opponent and try to get close to him. No, we don’t need long-range combat. I want them to box on the inside. That’s how I’d like to see Golovkin fight.”

According to Banks, “Canelo is used to being given the win even in fights where he didn’t look better than his opponent. But in May, everything changed in the fight against Dmitry Bivol. He lost on points. And this means that he will definitely fight Golovkin in a different style. It turns out a situation where both boxers want to offer something different to the opponent. It turns out a situation where both prefer to end the fight with a knockout, so as not to depend on the decision of the judges later. If earlier only Gennady spoke about this, now it concerns both of them. That’s why they say they want to win by knockout. And that guarantees us an awesome fight.”

Meanwhile, coach Canelo reminded that “Golovkin is not Bivol for you.” The Mexican does not hide that he frankly dislikes the Kazakhstani: “I hate this bastard!” And the top coach from the USA smiles at all this and explains to the fans: Golovkin and Canelo are not enemies, but business partners.
