Canelo didn’t need to lose massive muscle weight for him to have a chance of beating GGG. All Canelo needed to beat Golovkin last time would have been for him to throw a few more punches each round and to stay off the ropes. Common sense would tell you that it’s not smart for Canelo to deviate from what he did in the first fight with Triple G. Canelo came close to beating Golovkin in the first fight with his huge bodybuilder-like physique. It’s a wrong time for Canelo to lose muscle mass. Therefore, it’s going to be harder for Canelo to compete against the 5’10 ½” Golovkin without the musculature that he had in the first fight. The 5’8” Canelo is even shorter than Brook. Golovkin crushed the 5’9” Kell Brook and the 5’7” Curtis Stevens. NEWS: Gennadiy Golovkin beats Chris Eubank Jr. Canelo looks smaller than he was last time, and that might hurt his chances of beating Golovkin, who has always done well when fighting smaller fighter during his career. What may hurt Canelo though for the rematch with GGG is his diminished size. Never the less, Canelo tested negative in the drug tests for that fight so you can’t say that he was on. Some boxing fans feel that Canelo was on clenbuterol for the first fight with GGG. Alvarez’s two positive tests were from earlier this year in February when he was training for the May 5th rematch. It will affect you mentally.”Ĭanelo tested negative for clenbuterol for the first fight with GGG last September. I don’t know if he was taking it or not taking it or if he was taking it by accident, but he got caught twice with the same substance. If he’s not taking the same stuff as he was taking before, it will affect him mentally. Confidence-wise, it’s going to knock him. He’s going to come back and he’s always going to be thinking, ‘I used to take that.’ He’s not going to feel as strong. When a fighter has been taking clenbuterol and he’s been tested.
The former world champion 36, was forced to hand over a £70,000 watch as he and his wife left. But that rarely happens.NEWS: Andre Dirrell previews Canelo Alvarez vs. Two men have been found not guilty of acting as spotters in the gunpoint robbery of boxer Amir Khan. Ideally two fighters would box each other at their most comfortable size and weight, confident they had not stripped away the excess too far or too quickly.

AMIR KHAN BOXER GGG PRO
When the bell goes on Saturday he will be back to around 164lbs and well aware that Álvarez will weigh closer to 175lbs than 170lbs. Khans hand speed was nearly as quick as his rise to fame and since his first pro bout in 2004, at the age of 17. As storm clouds gathered, in wicked metaphor, perhaps, both fighters hit the scales at 155lbs – and the challenger was noticeably bulkier than when at welterweight. When I get down to 155, I’ll be ripped.” And, at the weigh-in on Friday, so he was: totally reconstructed, almost, from the 135lb teenager who won Olympic silver in 2004. I honestly believe this could be a very good weight for me. Every time Alvarez prepares to fight someone not named Golovkin, hes asked if hes ducking GGG. Álvarez is coming for Khan’s head, no question, and he will take a lot of stopping because of his obvious physical advantages.Īt the start of the week Khan weighed 164lbs, and said: “My whole diet and training regime has changed. It all boils down to weight, though: will Khan be big and strong enough to hold at bay a fighter whose calling card is as subtle as a bailiff’s? Here’s our own Kevin Mitchell on the tale of the scale (hey! that rhymes!): When it comes to the fight though, Canelo is likely to be the significantly heavier man.

There’s been the kind of devotion to weight in the build-up to this fight that you’d usually only see on an episode of The Biggest Loser. Good evening and welcome to tonight’s live(ish) coverage of Amir Khan’s middleweight showdown against Canelo Alvarez.
