‘The Judges Are Not Loyal to Canelo Anymore’: Gennady Golovkin

Modern-day boxing fans are lucky to witness one of the greatest rivalries between two boxers. Earlier it was Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier, then it was Mike Tyson vs. Evander Holyfield. Now we are witnessing a fierce rivalry between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin. The two are among the greatest boxers of this generation, and fans are eager to see this magnanimous trilogy fight.

The two titans will go up against each other on September 17th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. It has been weeks since the rivals have been berating each other in press conferences. Gennady Golovkin seems very confident about defeating Alvarez, and he stated, “Canelo doesn’t bother me at all, but when a person has a lot of bad traits, traits that get in the way of him living a normal life, that bothers him. That’s what we see right now.”
