Larry Merchant Breaks Down Canelo vs. GGG 2
By William Trillo
In the aftermath of Canelo Alvarez defeating Gennady
Golovkin by a razor thin margin on Saturday night
chatter has been blowing up from social media to the
water cooler. Everyone has an opinion and although I
respect the thoughts of most of the fans and pundits
there comes a time when I need to get to the bottom of
things and speak to an expert.
Enter Larry Merchant. If there has been one voice of
reason in boxing for me it has always been the
commentary Merchant offers.
In the wake of yet another controversial Canelo/GGG
affair I was thrilled to be able to reach out to Larry
to hear him breakdown the rematch.

Decisions, Decisions
By William Trillo

The decision rendered in the Canelo vs. GGG rematch
wasn’t a robbery nor was it a travesty of justice. It
was an extremely close fight that could have gone either
way. For the record I scored the fight 115-113 Canelo. I
had an excellent view of the fight from my press box
perch and without the distractions of the PPV talking
heads commentating on the fight I was able to come to my
own unbiased opinion. It’s how I saw the fight.
That being said, in the press box I was flanked on
either side by journalists from Mexico. Sharing almost
exactly the same perspective as I had it came as more
than a surprise to me that less than a minute after the
final bell rang both said they gave the fight to GGG. Click Here For Full Blog

Canelo Snags GGG’s Belts
With
Majority Decision Victory
By William Trillo @
Ringside
Photo: Marlene Marquez
Middleweight Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (50-1-2, 34 KO’s)
stood in the center of the ring almost all night against
Gennady Golovkin (38-1-1, 34 KO’s). That is what Triple
G was hoping for. Canelo obliged GGG by not running and
in doing so he took a razor thin majority decision over
Golovkin. Along the way Canelo snatched up all the belts
that GGG owned, those being the International Boxing
Organization World Middleweight Title, World Boxing
Association Super World Middleweight Title &World Boxing
Council World Middleweight Title.
Like the last fight, everyone was expecting or hoping
for a crushing KO by either fighter. But again, these
two finely honed athletes took everything that was
offered and never gave a glimpse of hitting the deck.
After 12 close rounds judges scored the fight 114-114
even while the other two judges had the fight scored
115-113 giving the nod to Canelo.

Super welterweight Jaime Munguia (31-0, 26 KO’s) took on
a less than adequate opponent in Brandon Cook (20-2-0,
13 KO’s) and beat the Ham-N-Egger in a somewhat
embarrassing display for a PPV event. Officially Munguia
stopped Cook at the 1:03 mark of third, unofficially
this fight was over before the opening bell rang.
Munguia retains his World Boxing Organization World
Super Welterweight Title, but seriously calling this a
title defense is a stretch at best.
Middleweight David Lemieux (40-4,34 KO’s) and Gary
O'Sullivan (28-3, 20 KO’s) had all the makings on paper
of a real war, but that’s why they make ‘em fight. With
one of his patented left hooks Lemieux nailed Spike to
the canvas. The fight was brought to a halt at the 2:44
mark of round one.
Super flyweight Roman “Chocolatito” Gonzalez (47-2, 39
KO’s) KO’d Moises Fuentes (25-6-1, 14 KO’s) at the 1:44
mark of round 5. One sharp right hand did the permanent
damage to Fuetes along the ropes. He would not get up
from that pinpoint shot. Gonzalez dominated but appeared
to be a shell of his former self in victory.

Canelo Looks Like A Starving Lion

LAS VEGAS — With just a few days before his rematch with
Gennady Golovkin, the Mexican Saul Canelo Alvarez looks
like a starving lion in the South African desert. “Yes,
I am feeling like a hungry predator at a few days before
this rematch with Golovkin,” said Alvarez Wednesday
afternoon at the MGM Grand hotel-casino in Las Vegas.
“This time, I will be a lot of more aggressive than I
was in our first fight. I am determined to attack
intensively in each round, and I really believe that my
intensity and my power will have me win by KO or TKO
this time. Golovkin believes he will take advantage of
my intensity, but he is so wrong. I know how much my
fists can do damage when I am attacking furiously. I am
considering this fight like the biggest moment of my pro
boxing career, then, I cannot waste it. I am so
impatient to be in the ring. I really believe that my
fans will be extremely proud of me Saturday evening.”

I Will Have The Chance To Knock Him Out"
By Daniel Cloutier
LAS VEGAS - Gennady Golovkin, the fighter from Kazakstan
who is considered actually as the best fighter pound for
pound in the world, hopes that the Mexican Saul Canelo
Alvarez will keep his promise September 15th in the ring
of the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Alvarez promised to attack intensively in each round to
knock Golovkin out. “Alvarez said he will attack
furiously from the beginning to the end of the bout, and
I hope he will keep his promise,” said Golovkin. “The
more he will attack, more he will give me opportunities
to hurt him, more he will give me chances to knock him

Fight Week is here.
Finally. Undefeated WBC/WBA/IBO Middleweight World
Champion Gennady "GGG" Golvkin will be looking to break
a record everyone believed would remain untouched -- the
record he shares with the legendary Bernard Hopkins. On
Saturday, Golovkin will attempt to make the 21st
consecutive defense of the middleweight crown he has
held since 2010, in a rematch against Lineal
Middleweight World Champion Canelo Alvarez. How fitting
that Golovkin will be going for the record-breaker
against Alvarez inasmuch as the co-promoters of Alvarez,
Hopkins and Oscar De La Hoya, will have front row seats
to see it. Making it even more memorable, the
Golovkin-Alvarez rematch will take place in the same
city and on nearly the same date as the De La Hoya -

place, on September 18, 2004.
