canelo-alvarez-suspended-six-months-nevada-state-athletic-commission
It's worked out perfectly for him then, GGG will be even older and they can reschedule the 'well marinated' rematch for September when Canelo will no doubt say he will 'prove all his doubters wrong' or some shit like thatThe Nevada State Athletic Commission has reached an agreement with Canelo Alvarez that will result in the Mexican fighter being suspended for six months.
The commission and Canelo's team reached an adjudication agreement before Wednesday's scheduled hearing and it was adopted unanimously (5-0) by the commission.
Alvarez received a one-year suspension, but because he has cooperated it is suspended to six months, as the commission rules allow.
Alvarez was training for his mega rematch with unified middleweight world champion Gennady Golovkin when he tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol from samples provided in February.
The fight was scheduled for May 5th in Las Vegas. Now Golovkin will fight Vanes Martirosyan on that date in Carson, Calif.
Alvarez will be eligible to fight Aug. 17, six months from the date of his first positive test. This means Alvarez and Golovkin could potentially stage their highly-anticipated rematch in September assuming Golovkin wins his fight with Martirosyan.
