GGG v Canelo 3 Talks have begun for May 4 2019

Talks have begun


Golden Boy Promotions CEO Oscar De La Hoya has directed his company president, Eric Gomez, to begin immediate negotiations to stage a trilogy encounter between Saul "Canelo" Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin.
Canelo, who De La Hoya promotes, is scheduled to return to the ring on May 4th, Cinco De Mayo weekend, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas - the venue where they collided on two previous occasions.
Golovkin has been inactive since lost a close twelve round majority decision to Canelo back in September 2018. The victory awarded Canelo the WBC, WBA middlweight titles.


Golovkin (38-1-1, 34KOs) and Canelo (51-1-2, 35 KOs) first met in September of 2017, which resulted in a controversial twelve round split draw.
They were initially scheduled to have a rematch in May 2018 - but it was pushed back when Canelo tested positive for the banned substance clenbuteroal, which resulted in a six month suspension. Golovkin would instead face, and stop, late-replacement Vanes Martirosyan.
After their rematch, both boxers became network free agents after HBO made a company decision to drop eliminate boxing from their programming future.
Canelo would eventually sign a five year exclusive deal with streaming service DAZN - and then returned to the ring on December 15th at New York's Madison Square Garden.
He moved up to the super middleweight division and captured the WBA "regular" title with a rapid three round knockout of Rocky Fielding.
Golovkin is still a network free agent, with Premier Boxing Champions, DAZN and ESPN all attempting to sign him up. Reportedly, PBC has made the strongest offer of the three. Golovkin has not made any comments regarding his future.
The suggested weight for the third contest is unknown, with Canelo holding titles in two weight classes and to date has not made an official decision regarding his weight class future.

I'll always watch these 2 having a scrap but the excitement has completely gone now, GGG won 2 fights and didn't get the nod in either of them, he's a lot older now, it's made for Canelo etc etc etc

Not much that can be said about the fight now, yeah we know they are two great fighters, we know that everything is engineered in Canelo's favour, we know the controversy, we know there are other fights to be made etc etc etc

I'll definitely watch it but I'm tired of talking about the pair of them now.

Awesome start to the thread

Canelo lost the two fights and here's hoping for third time lucky for GGG.

When Golovkin wins he should have a farewell fight against Canelo for a fourth time and then retire.

Then come back out of retirement and fight Canelo again for a fifth and final decider.

Then they can have an exhibition fight on New Years Eve

Good fights, but we have seen it all besides the correct decision. I do not see the fucking point.
