De la Hoya: 'Canelo was tired from golf'

Oscar De La Hoya commented on Saturday's defeat Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) from Dmitry Bivol (20-0, 11 KOs). According to the owner of Golden Boy Promotions, the Mexican boxer has been paying too much attention to golf lately.

“I myself played golf between fights and I know that this is a sport that is very tiring for the body. Theoretically, there is not much effort, but you spend 6 hours on the golf course, standing all the time and not recovering, ”De La Hoya said.

“Canelo should drop everything and focus on boxing again. He will be able to play golf in retirement, and now he has to return to what brought him success, ”added the former promoter of Alvarez.

In September, a rematch between Alvarez and Bivol may take place. It is possible that this time boxers will cross gloves within the 76-kilogram limit. The first fight took place in the light heavyweight division.
