Golovkin v Canelo 2 CONFIRMED

Golovkin slams 'clown' Alvarez after heated weigh-in



Gennady Golovkin labelled Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez a "clown" after a heated weigh-in on Friday.

After both made weight, Alvarez rushed at Golovkin for the traditional stare down, briefly putting his forehead against the unfazed Kazakh's.

Golovkin (38-0-1) will defend his WBA (Super), WBC and IBO middleweight titles at T-Mobile Arena in a rematch of their drawn fight from a year ago.

The 36-year-old hit out at Alvarez's antics at the weigh-in, promising a "war" on Saturday.

"I saw he is like a clown, he is like a showman, he is not a true guy," Golovkin said.

"Tomorrow, you'll see a real war. This is not a fight, this is not a regular fight, [it's] like a special war."

Alvarez (49-1-2) is fighting for the first time since facing Golovkin a year ago, having served a six-month drugs ban.

The Mexican accepted he got slightly carried away at the weigh-in, saying: "Look, I got excited from seeing all the fans and it motivated me to do that right now.

"I defeated him at the weigh-in, now it's time for me to defeat him on Saturday."

I question Canelo's sanity: 'I defeated him at the weigh in'. You fell off your chair and acted like a tool. For the sake of decency knock this guy the fuck out. He is horrible for boxing. As is fishnets.

Can not remember a fighter so hated, despised or people wanted to see lose as much as Canelo.

Cassius Clay was much more hated

Will you get your head out of the 1960's!

I know fighters like Eubank and Floyd made a living out of people watching their fights to see them lose but this is much different.

My mate has just invited himself round to mine, I've had to let him know in no uncertain terms that there will be no drinking because I am watching the villa at 5:30pm and then I'm staying up for the fight.

No doubt he will try and get me to have a drink but there is no chance of it happening today, he can come round and sit quietly in the corner but he ain't disrupting my plans

Yeah right, you will get bladdered and miss all the fights.

What he said..... "multiplied by infinity and taken to the depths of forever."

[brocktonblockbust]

Why all the hate?

[TitoFan]

He's hate-able.

[J_Undisputed]

Why all the hate?

Because he's like Oscars douchey little parrot. Echoing all the nonsensical tough talk to try and convince himself that he has this in the bag. If you listen to both it's rewording of the same sentiments. Canelo can't think for himself and he has Oscar's hand jammed so far up his chuff that he'll accept anything Oscar has to say because it makes him feel better about himself. It also feels like he gets off on talking smack in the moment when his opponent and the announcers can't understand him or call him on it.

[X]

​Yes, Canelo is a protected, connected, cheating bully and a wanker ...... but he's also a very good fighter

[TitoFan]

He is, X. No disputing that he's a very good fighter.

That being said, I'm hoping/begging for a KTFO, KOOTY candidate, highlight reel shit.

I said after the draw in the first fight that it was actually more of an injustice to Canelo. He fought is good fight and gave GGG some trouble. He proved that he was legit, but the controversy with the decision made us lose focus on how well Canelo did.

With that said, he is a cheat and I have no respect for him.
