One of the middleweight leaders Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (42-2-1, 37 KOs) recalled after losing in the third fight against the absolute champion in the second middleweight (up to 76.2 kg) Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (58-2- 2, 39 KO) that he still has titles in the category up to 72.6 kg.
Here is what the Kazakhstani said immediately after the fight to the interviewer in the ring.
“Everyone knows that this is the highest class. it [Канело] the best fighter in boxing. Everyone knows who Canelo is. It was a huge fight. Again, strategy. When I started the second half of the fight, I tried to turn the tide of the meeting. In the second half, I felt pretty good, — said GGG. Look at his face, look at mine. We trained well, and this proves that we put up a quality fight. The fight was more tactical [чем раньше]. Like chess. Boxed smart. Canelo is better today. Congratulations to him.”
