Reynoso: Canelo's third fight with Golovkin will be better than previous fights

The third fight will take place on September 17 Saul Alvarez (57-2-2, 39 KOs) with Gennady Golovkin (42-1-1, 37 KOs). If Canelo wins, next year he will have a rematch with his recent abuser, WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. Alvarez's trainer Eddie Reynoso spoke yesterday about these fights.

“Canelo is doing well, both physically and mentally. He is motivated to get back to work and remove this stain on his track record. He has a winning mentality. After losing to Bivol, it was hard for him, but that's okay. We must continue to work, Saul understands that failure is part of this sport, ”said Reynoso.

“We have won tough fights before. Canelo fought with an injured hand, broken ribs and kept on winning. Now, however, he needs to accept his defeat and maintain the discipline he needs. We need to better prepare for the rematch with Bivol, I think we were close to winning but lost the last two rounds and that was decisive. With better preparation, we will definitely win the rematch, ”added coach Canelo.

“On the day of the fight, Bivol had a weight advantage, we consciously went for it, such challenges make us strive for glory. This time we were not lucky, but we will return. I don’t listen to what Oscar De La Hoya says (about Canelo playing too much golf - ed. note), he has not been properly disciplined in his life and has no right to give advice to anyone, "the expert continued .

“Golovkin and Canelo know each other very well and will meet at super middleweight where they won’t have to shed pounds and will be physically stronger. Therefore, Canelo's fight against Golovkin III will be better than the previous two. Golovkin changed coaches some time ago, improved his defense and uses the left straight more. His strong blow is also always with him. So GGG is in a good position before the third confrontation with Saul. It will be a difficult fight, they are both capable of winning by knockout, ”summed up the Mexican.

Canelo's first fight against Golovkin ended in a controversial draw in September 2017. A year later, Canelo came out victorious in the confrontation with GGG, defeating the boxer from Kazakhstan by decision.
