Gennady Golovkin Wants Immediate Rematch, If Not, he will fight Miguel Cotto

Gennady Golovkin vs Canelo Alvarez Fight Was Great But It Did Not Answer the Big Question

Who is the better fighter that night? 

Let’s start by mentioning the controversial yet official scorecard that night.

Dave Moretti: Golovkin 115- 113
Don Trella: Draw 114 – 114
Adalaide Byrd:  118 -110 (cringe-worthy)

There is a lot to talk about in the scorecard but we are not here to dwell on things that can’t be changed. We know the Adalaide Byrd already got warm, I mean really warm with heated greetings from the internet right after her despicable scoring, so let’s leave her alone for the moment.
On the post-fight press conference, a rematch was obviously part of the discussion and today it looks like they already scheduled a meeting to sit down and talk in details. Canelo Alvarez has a rematch clause in the contract so he will not have any issues getting Golovkin back inside the ring. However, if he chooses not to get in with the Kazakh fighter again then Golovkin’s team would need to find another opponent for his next fight.
Gennady Golovkin at 35 years old isn’t exactly young and every month counts. His record now stands at 37 wins with no defeats and 1 draw.  Golovkin’s camp is eager to make the rematch and they want to make it happen on Cinco De Mayo next year (May 5, 2018). If an agreement will be made between the two prized fighters, Gennady would rest the remaining of the year until their anticipated rematch.
If it fails, Gennady’s camp is ready to take on another fight and they won’t wait for a long time to get back in the ring. According to sources,  Miguel Cotto the Puertorican boxing superstar who allegedly intended to have his retirement fight at 36 years of age would like to challenge Gennady for his titles and Gennady’s camp looks to be interested. If  Canelo-Golovkin rematch will not be agreed upon then a Cotto-Golovkin match might happen this December.
While the fight between Cotto and Golovkin would be interesting, the boxing fans who demanded the Canelo Alvarez vs Gennady Golovkin fight did not actually get the closure they wanted to get. And while most would agree that the fight was an epic battle between two of the best middleweights right now, it did not really answer anything as the fans are were just left salivating for more and would like to see the 13th round to maybe up to 24 rounds for the two middleweights to settle who truly is the best of the best.

Canelo, GGG And Oscar De La Hoya Talks as to Why Their Fight is Better than Floyd vs Connor

Real hardcore boxing fans know how to differentiate a show between a boxing match and the middleweight clash between Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin is what the boxing community really needs.
Canelo Alvarez, Gennady Golovkin and Oscar De La Hoya join First Take to talk about their upcoming boxing fight set for September 16 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Canelo vs GGG: Ripping a Page from Pacquiao-Mayweather Playbook?

Quick to make up for an uneventful main attraction to a stacked fight card, Golden Boy Promotions pulled of a maverick of sorts in a WWE like manner.
On the aftermath of a one-sided beating inflicted by Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvares(49-1-1 34 KOs) on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr.(50-3-1 32 KOs), everyone expecting a routinary post fight interview was treated for a big surprise. HBO panelist, Max Kellerman asked a question that caught everyone off-guard:
 “We have been told that there is a plan in place for your next opponent, who is it?” Kellerman asked. “Golovkin, you’re next my friend!”. Canelo responded.
Gennady Golovkin(37-0 33 KOs), earlier seen watching from the ringside was suddenly nowhere to be found. All the lights then went off with loud cheers drowning the rock music of a teaser on the big screen, GGG was then shown storming out of the dugout escorted by security to face Canelo in the ring.
Minus the fireworks and fancy costumes, a mega-fight between two of boxing’s current stars was announced for September.
Quick History

Before the fight was conceived, both camps traded barbs at each other for the past couple of years. Since 2014, Golovkin has been calling out known middleweights like Miguel Cotto, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. and Saul Alvarez. Among the three, only Canelo has responded decisively to GGG’s challenge, but not before questioning the caliber of opponents the latter has previously faced. Since then, lengthy rounds of negotiations ensued, none came to fruition.  Often blaming the other for the fight not pushing through, both accused each other of screwing the negotiations and ducking. Canelo took much of the criticisms when he vacated his WBC Middleweight belt with GGG as his mandatory challenger, thus adding to the rumor of him avoiding a fight with the Kazakh.
A Proven Successful Business Blueprint


Not so long ago, two boxers also featured in a much publicized affair. Most of the jabs and punches came through social media and media interviews that lasted for six years. In that duration, interest built increasingly with the media writing almost everything about the anticipated much up between two of the best fighters of their generation pound for pound. In May 2015, they finally met in the ring in what was dubbed as “The Fight of the Century”. The event shattered all-time revenue records and gave the boxers the biggest payday of their entire careers in a 36-minute show. Those two boxers are Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Manny Pacquiao, two of the most financially successful boxers of their generation.
Witnessing how the events unfolded in the buildup to the super fight, one can’t help but ask, were the negotiations and hype intentionally prolonged to maximize the potential profit of the fight?

The same question is also being asked in the wake of another mega fight between Canelo and GGG in September. Did they follow the same blue print? Maybe. This fight is currently the most profitable product the industry can sell with the fight at the height of public interest. Of course, that’s discounting the possibility of Floyd coming out of retirement to fight UFC star Connor McGregor in a boxing match. With all the drama and hype, plus the impeccable timing of the announcement of the fight, the bout has all the makings of a classic, thus, drawing parallels with the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight build up. The real question is, will the fighters also follow the blueprint of the fight itself? If so, you might just have to wake me up when September ends.

Watch: Canelo’s Message to his Next Opponent, GGG

Before the Canelo-Chavez fight took place, there was a lot of mocking and smack talking between this two great Mexican boxers as to who will be crowned as the newest king of Mexican Boxing in their annual Cinco de Mayo boxing tradition.

However, Canelo said in an interview that he never felt any hatred against his current contender Julio Chavez Jr because he took it as an extra motivation to show that he can box, he can move and he wanted to prove he can also do anything that a bigger and stronger boxer can do. He demonstrated this when he defeated Chavez Jr via unanimous decision. He also said that he is a bit disappointed on how Chavez Jr performed during their last match because he didn’t meet Canelo’s expectation at all and it’s not something to be considered as great and historic fight.

I’ve never feared anyone, since I was 16 fighting as a professional. When I was born, fear was gone…” Canelo states in an interview when asked about what can he say to those people who criticized him for not considering Golovkin to become his opponent for the longest time.

During an interview after his fight against Chavez Jr, Canelo finally announced that his next boxing fight will be with Gennady Golovkin, commonly known as the “Triple G”. Golovkin and Canelo are both excited with their bout this upcoming September. They say that to be able to beat Golovkin, Canelo needs to exert extra effort and show everything that the public haven’t seen yet. Though Canelo explains that he’s already working on that and he stated he getting better and better every day and the rival between Golovkin will be the way to show what he has to offer.

The said bout will become the Biggest Mexican Showdown in the history.

So who’s your bet?
