Mauricio Pedroza: Thank you, Oscar
By joining GGG live from the summit gym in Bear, California, his coach, Abel Sanchez and GGG promoter, Tom Loeffler, who will also begin with some remarks. Tom?
TOM LOEFFLER: Today, this rematch really has the impression that it is a much bigger event than the first time. There was a lot of controversy around the score for the first fight, and the two guys do not want to leave it in the hands of the judges this time around.
We are here where Abel Sanchez has his training camp at Big Bear California GGG's training to win a much more decisive victory over Canelo the second time. You see we have all the titles here.
GGG is the champion, and if Canelo wants to become a champion, he really has to fight and try to take the titles.
So we can not wait to see everyone. September 15 at T-Mobile and HBO Pay-Per-View
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Tom, thank you very much
So the first question is for you, Canelo. What has happened, and what would you like to say to your fans who have been disappointed with you?
CANELO ALVAREZ: The reason for the cancellation, we all talked about it. The main thing is that the fight has happened, the fight has been done. I did it for the fans. That's the fight you wanted to see and come on September 15th, I can assure you that it will be a much better fight than what you would have seen in May.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: As you were disappointed, the fight did not happen May?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Of course, we were all disappointed. I was disappointed and the fans were disappointed that this first fight of May 15 did not take place, but everyone is happy that we all agreed to have this next fight on the 15th. September.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Gennady, do you really believe that the reason why Canelo tested positive for clenbuterol was spoiled meat?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: First of all, I respect the fighters of Canelo's level, and the fact that they ruined everything, it was not my decision to disqualify him, and I think it was a team failure, but it does not matter now. It does not matter now. It is important that we are going to have a fight.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Abel Sanchez, do you believe the reason why Canelo tested positive for clenbuterol was contaminated meat? You were very vocal when the news came that Canelo could be suspended.
ABEL SANCHEZ: We were waiting for the commission to investigate and, whatever the conclusions, unfortunately they made a mistake. We have a fight in our hands on September 15th. They found him innocent of whatever, any mischief, so we must go with that.
My personal feelings have nothing to do or should have nothing to do with the actual results of
MAURICIO PEDROZA: But why do you say that you think that they made a mistake? What mistake did they make?
ABEL SANCHEZ: Well, they had the impression of making a mistake. They felt that he ingested bad beef. Hope this time that they are in Mexico, it does not do it yet. We would like to have a fight on the 15th and the fans deserve it.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Even though your revenge against Canelo Alvarez was canceled, you still fought in May in Los Angeles at the StubHub Center against Vanes "Nightmare" Martirosyan. What are you trying to prove in the fight?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Well, because I like to be active, I love this box, I love this sport, and I love the fans. You know, the fans wanted me to fight, and why not me? Why should not I fight, especially on this important day, May 5th?
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Did you watch GGG's fight in May?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Yes. Yes, I saw the fight in May. Of course I would do it. He is the opponent that I have on hand and it is my job to watch him.
Regarding what I thought of the fight, look, you can not call it a fight. You do not have any opponents. This is not my opponent level. I did not pay attention to it being a fight.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Oscar, could you tell us about the negotiations that have taken place in recent months?
OSCAR DE LA HOYA: Negotiations are negotiations. The bottom line is that we have a fight. Obviously, we know who is side A, and that is Canelo Alvarez.
Of course we know that all of Mexico is behind Canelo Alvarez. Wherever I go, wherever we walk, the Mexican National is behind Canelo Alvarez, and I firmly believe that Canelo enters the ring last, wanting to win these belts, for the honor and pride.
You know, he's going to show it in the ring, and we strongly feel that you know, it's a big advantage and once the first bell rings, you know, we have a fight.
So we feel strongly that, no matter what the negotiations, we are extremely happy and the fans will be even happier when they see a fight on September 15th.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Tell us why is it so important that this return match takes place on September 15th? So important, that you had to put your own money to make it happen.
OSCAR OF THE HOYA: Well, it was the big hail maker – I mean, you know, we can all talk about percentages and this and that but there were a few things that I had to throw myself.
But in the end, Canelo has the biggest piece of pie, and because he's the champion, he's the draw. He is the one who brings people. On September 15, you will have millions and millions of fans supporting Canelo and supporting GGG.
But this fight had to be done because we did not want to experience another Hagler / Hearns or Hagler / Sugar Ray Leonard we did not see the second fight that n & rsquo; Did not take place. We did not want to see – like Trinidad and myself, we did not see the second fight.
So this fight was to take place. The first time was a draw and finally we got it. September 15th will be an important day for boxing. I firmly believe that the way this fight will unfold, the fans will be extremely happy, extremely proud and boxing will once again be at the top of where it should be.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Why is it so important for GGG, for this fight to take place and to make the compromises that GGG had to take in order to secure revenge? For example, letting go of your position that the percentage for the rematch should be an even and even split.
TOM LOEFFLER: On our side, we know who the champion is. It does not matter who is announced first. It does not matter which name appears first on the poster.
GGG is the champion. He will walk with his belts and the important thing is that he will come out with his belts. There was a lot of back-and-forth in the negotiations, but again, we have to give credit to both fighters. We must give credit to GGG. We must give credit to Canelo. We must award credits to Oscar and Golden Boy Promotions.
In the end, we are not just talking about revenge. We actually see the rematch arrive on September 15th. Many fighters can not even fight the first time, and here are two of the biggest boxing stars fighting revenge.
Neither side wants to let him go to the judges. Canelo is predicting a knockout. GGG does not want to go through the same thing that it went through last year in September – where his fate is in the hands of three people. He wants to make sure that he controls his fate and wants to make sure that there will be no question that will come out of the ring as a champion on September 15th.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: We heard Oscar describing why Canelo Alvarez is the main man In this fight, so why do you think you deserve a split 50/50?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: I still believe that and I know Oscar says, and I do not always agree with what Oscar says. For example, I do not believe that all of Mexico will root for Canelo. I understand that every Oscar thinks that Canelo is the main locomotive behind this fight, but I think we are both worthy of this fight.
With regard to the 45 to 55, yes, we made a concession. I think we are making a big concession, but I think it's now, it's the most important thing we're going to have a fight and our fans are going to love it.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Canelo, Gennady just said that it doesn`t happen. I believe that all of Mexico is going to root for you. Do you agree, and why do you think GGG thinks that he has behind him some of the Mexican fans?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Listen, I've always had detractors, no matter where I fight or who I fight against. There is always this side of the fans who are the detractors, but I have many, many more, who love me and who support me.
And now, that little respect that I had or that we had, it was lost, September 15, it's just him and me in the ring, whether I'm supported or not. It'll just be him and me, and he'll see.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Now, I want to go back to Oscar De La Hoya. As a fighter, being in a fight like this one motivates you more at the training camp, especially when you come to hear Canelo say that he no longer respects GGG?
OSCAR OF THE HOYA: Well, that's exactly what a fighter needs. and that's exactly why this fight is going to be such a big fight.
As Canelo said, the little respect they have for each other is out the window, and when you are a fighter and you don? have no respect for your opponent, magic happens. The magic takes place inside the ring. You train harder in the gym. You are running extra miles. You make sure that you are in good shape but, more importantly, it is mental, the mental aspect is at its highest level. That's why I think these bullfighters will be in great shape on September 15th and we'll see an incredible fight.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: As a fighting fan and promoter, how much are you excited for the fight and how much are the shooting fans excited for the fight?
TOM LOEFFLER: Not only as a promoter but as a boxing fight, it's the fight that everyone is looking forward to. This is the fight that fans are eagerly awaiting, as the media has asked.
And GGG, I get a lot of comments, a lot of messages on social networks from Mexico's fans saying, please, knock out Canelo, do not let him in the hands of the judges this time and GGG will go out like this.
I know that Oscar is in Mexico with Canelo. Make sure, Canelo, less Mexican meat, more Mexican style this time, September 15. Make sure everything is going in the right direction.
Two warriors climb into the ring. The gloves are off this time. The two guys, you know, do not feel respected by what happened on May 5, so I think fans will win on September 15 when these guys will be in the ring with each other. other.
Oscar De La Hoya May 15 Tweet the following text, "In the meantime, @GGGBoxing doing 3million and #Canelo doing 40million without you. # Sign the contract. # Scared. # CaneloGGG2. #stopcrying."
We Come to speak of respect. Gennady, how do you react to that, what did Oscar De La Hoya say about you on May 11th?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Oscar De La Hoya can say many things, and it is not always correct.
Regarding the money involved, I am a fighter, and I will work, do my job. I fight. As for Oscar De La Hoya, I suggest that he take care of his own fighter and he wants him to earn more money, let 's fight. Put it on the ring
MAURICIO PEDROZA: I want to go back to Abel. This quote from Canelo Alvarez, last week on RingTV.com, "The truth is that this fight means a lot to me because of everything that has happened and everything that has been said."
Alvarez stated on Friday officially one day before the tickets were put up for sale, "I will prove with my fists that I am the best and Golovkin will eat all his words and speculations." I will demonstrate who is the best when I defeat Golovkin on September 11th during the Independence Day weekend, and I will point out that Mexican boxing is the best. "
Abel, do you think that Canelo has what # 39, it is necessary to eliminate GGG?
ABEL SANCHEZ: All these same things were said before the first fight and it ended up being a track meeting.
I think that on the 15th, when Oscar and Canelo were having breakfast, Oscar had to remind him. He needs to bring his courage to the room that night because he will need it.
If he intends to knock out Golovkin, he will have to fight him. And if he fights it, he'll get knocked out. I already said it. he would have been knocked out the first time, but he decided to make it a runway that night.
But if he comes to fight and he comes knocking Golovkin as he says he will do it. he's not deceiving the fans yet, so he's going to get knocked out. I said it and I say it again.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Canelo, you just heard Abel say that you did not want to fight the first time. I want to get back to you now and let you respond to that statement, because it seems like GGG camp, you've never been ready to engage during the fight. Will this time be different?
CANELO ALVAREZ: I did my fight. I did what I wanted to do. I did what I was trained to do but I did a good fight.
But on September 15, I will make the necessary adjustments and things necessary to win. This man just likes to talk. He likes to talk a lot and find every possible excuse, but you will see, on September 15th, what is Canelo Alvarez and what he is able to do.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Gennady, you just heard Canelo say that was his fight, that was his strategy, but he says it's going to be different.
How about your side? What is the difference between your strategy and Canelo?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: As a champion, I know my strategy and of course in this fight to come, much will depend on Canelo and more Canelo has had the show, the most interesting will be the fight.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Eddy, why is your fighter the best fighter?
EDDY REYNOSO: He is a fighter with more arguments. He has more talent and is more versatile. He knows how to walk in the ring and make you miss, counter, attack. I mean, he has the total package
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Chepo, what did you learn from this first fight that can expose the weaknesses of GGG?
CHEPO REYNOSO: He is a smart fighter and no matter what people thought, I thought he clearly won the fight, clearly but came on September 15th, I can assure you two things. Not only will he remove the undefeated record of GGG, he will also silence Mr. Abel Sanchez
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Abel, you just heard Canelo say, we'll see a different Canelo, even Chepo Reynoso told us I'm going to see another Canelo. What did you learn from Canelo Alvarez in the first fight, and do you think we'll see another Canelo Alvarez on September 15th?
ABEL SANCHEZ: Well, in the first 40 fights, we saw Canelo fight, he fought totally different fight and he promised the fans that he was going to give them the same kind of action against Golovkin. After the first two rounds, he discovered that he could not.
I hope that September 15 will be different because I think the fans deserve what we promised them. Golovkin fights in his style. He is the champion. He'll go to Canelo, and if Canelo thinks he can knock him out, I think we'll see a classic fight.
No matter how intelligent Canelo is, when he is touched and he gets hurt, he will be knocked out. Smarts has nothing to do with that. He will be touched and hurt himself.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Many times Sanchez has called Alvarez a cheater after all the controversy surrounding his suspension. How did that make you feel, and what do you think of Abel Sanchez as a coach?
CHEPO REYNOSO: I think that Abel Sanchez likes to talk. He talks too much. At the end of the day, it will be Canelo Alvarez and GGG who will fight with their fists and not with their mouths. He likes to be the star of the movie, and it is not him.
It's about Canelo and GGG. And what we need to do as corner men, as trainers, is to do our job quietly because it is not about us.
Abel, learn to be quiet, please
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Oscar, what have you seen up to here? Canelo's team and the way they are preparing for September 15?
OSCAR OF THE HOYA: Well, it is clear that for the bottom of the team, it is an entirely different state of mind. It's a totally different fight. Just being an ex-fighter myself, I know what kind of preparations you need to do to reach your goal, to reach your goal on September 15 against GGG, and I can assure you, I mean, it's clear that Canelo is in a stronger state of mind. There is obviously a bad blood, and therefore, that's why it's going to be an incredible fight.
Look, Canelo, yes, he can box. He can move. He is the most skilled fighter. He can do all that, but he can also fight. And GGG did not see that, but I can assure you one thing: Come on September 15th, everything is business. Everything goes in there and does not prove to everyone who looks but proves to GGG that he is the best fighter.
So Canelo will be in a different form? Will he be in better shape, will he be stronger, faster? It's going to be all that, and then some.
So, on our side, we feel strongly that they have not seen Canelo as they will see him on September 15th. We saw GGG. We know what he does. All it does is go forward and fight and that 's all. Canelo has a lot of other things that he does, so come on September 15, you can witness it.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Oscar, I want to give you the opportunity to respond to a comment from Tom, also to Gennady's comments. they say that Mexico is really divided. It's divided. Not everyone is rooting for Canelo, and some Mexicans are rooting for Gennady Golovkin.
OSCAR DE LA HOYA: Everyone has their fans. Everyone has their fans. There is a reason why when Canelo is fighting against HBO Pay-Per-View, that he's the only boxing star on TV, there's a reason they support him. There is a reason why it generates the numbers that it does. There is a reason why the doors are so high. There is a reason why the numbers are so high.
Look, every fighter has his detractors, and every fighter has his non-fans, but the truth is that Canelo has millions and millions of fans around the world. as GGG
But we must recognize one thing; that Canelo is the Mexican champion, the star of Mexico, the star of boxing.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: GGG, you just heard Canelo Alvarez say that he lost a little respect for you. Let me ask you something. Have you also lost respect for Canelo Alvarez, the boxer, or even the person?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Respect is respect. We have a different mentality. We have a different understanding of what is respect. I think the Canelo team, doing what they did, and they lost a little respect from their fans. But it is not important.
I have respect for all the fighters, all the athletes, all the champions who are fighting at this level, and I think that at the very end we will find a way to shake our hands no matter what the result is, regardless of what we think before the fight. As two men, we should be able to stand against each other and shake hands in the end.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: I remember before the first fight, you were both driving in a very respectful way. Why this time does it seem more personal, actually for you two, but for you, is this personal this time?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Yes, absolutely, it's changed, totally. They have disrespected me for everything they said, all they did, all their actions. Now it's different. It's personal.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: There has been a lot of talk about you and GGG on both sides, but one of your biggest criticisms up to now is Abel Sanchez, and you have not spoken to him yet, so we will give you What do you mean to Abel Sanchez who is listening to you right now?
CANELO ALVAREZ: I have nothing to say to him. He knows what I think of him.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Abel, what do you think of Canelo? He's listening now. You talked a lot about him too.
ABEL SANCHEZ: I talked about him because of his actions and I think about the consequences that this has had for us as a team here, the GGG team. [19659004] He is an exceptional fighter. Two guys at the top of their game are going to be duke on the 15th. I hope we'll have the kind of fight we're waiting for.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Gennady, is there anything you would like to tell him?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Well, I want to tell him that we should be ready for the fight. You know, we should be ready for his fight for us. We should be ready for his fight for our fans. We should prepare ourselves. I think we should both be in the best shape for this fight, and the better we will be for this fight; plus, the sweetest taste that victory will have for us.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Canelo, you have the floor. What do you have to say to Gennady Golovkin?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Nothing. We'll see you on September 15th.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: And to all of you who are watching, is there anything you would like to say to GGG? Is there anything you would like to say to Canelo? Let us know in the comments section below to have a chance to have answers to your questions directly. But before looking at what fans posted in this comment section below, let me ask you all a question in our Facebook Live show.
I want to start with Gennady Golovkin. Why are not we all in the same room? Why are you in Big Bear, California? Why Canelo in Guadalajara, and why do not we shake hands in person?
GGG, I will start with you.
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: We are in a space, we are in a room where it is the best for all of us and is more comfortable for all of us. It is best to meet on September 15th and show everything we can demonstrate.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Canelo, usually when we promote a fight, we have both boxers looking at each other, sometimes shaking hands.
Why did not you want to face Gennady Golovkin before September 15th? Why did not you want to be in the same room with him at the same time?
CANELO ALVAREZ: I assure you that we will see each other face-to-face before September 15th. We already had the tour and we already had the promotion. This was not necessary for this one. But I will see him very soon.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: It's just right. Well, we certainly have a lot to expect for this September 15th. In a moment, we will open the phones to ask questions to members of the media.
Q. This is for Canelo. As a Mexican, do you believe that Abel Sanchez deserves a handshake? Can you really shake hands with Abel Sanchez?
CANELO ALVAREZ: He deserves it and much more.
Q. Canelo, really fast, do you feel the things that Abel and Gennady are telling you to do from this fight a toe up to the feet just a tactic to tug, while it seems to you more logical to fight for victory in this fight?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Yes, it is probably their tactics. You know what, the feeling that I have in me, it's going to help me a lot, intelligently, to bring out what I have to do. I know what I have to do.
Q. This first question is addressed to Canelo. There are a lot of rumors going around about you kneeling in different pictures. Is there something wrong with the knee and can you answer that question?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Simply, it's a support to support. I trained very hard. It's part of the rehabilitation and I've worked very hard, and that's not going to be a problem, believe me.
Q. The numbers from your last fight show that GG has passed you by 49 moves and has passed you by 198. Do you think you need to increase your work rate to gain revenge?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Yes, that's part of the plan and part of what we're working on. Yes, we know what we have to do, and yes, we have to give more punches. To win fights, you have to throw shots, and that's what I do in all my fights.
MAURICIO PEDROZA: It is now time to take a look at the questions and comments of fighters and their teams on Facebook Live. We will go directly to that. We will start with Rob.
Q. By asking them both, what will be the difference with the first fight? Gennady, que pensez-vous que sera la différence du combat n ° 1?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Je pense que ce combat sera intéressant. Ce sera un combat plus dur. Ce sera un combat plus féroce et je pense que nous avons tiré nos conclusions du premier combat, et ce combat sera plus coloré et plus intéressant.
Q. Canelo, que penses-tu de la différence du premier combat?
CANELO ALVAREZ: Sans aucun doute, le combat sera différent. Ça va être un meilleur combat.
Regardez, nous savons ce que nous devons faire. Je vais y aller même une stratégie plus forte, une meilleure stratégie, et ça va être un bien meilleur combat. Nous nous connaissons déjà. Maintenant nous savons ce que nous devons faire.
Q. Pour l'équipe GGG, faites-vous quelque chose de différent dans ce camp depuis la dernière fois que vous avez combattu Canelo?
ABEL SANCHEZ: Nous nous préparons et nous préparons Gennady à être le meilleur Gennady possible. Nous avons gagné le premier combat. Beaucoup de gens savent que nous avons gagné le dernier combat. Il sait qu'il a gagné le dernier combat.
Quelques ajustements seront évidemment faits dans le camp mais Gennady se bat dans un style qui n'est pas seulement fan-aimable mais un style qu'il a maîtrisé avec une série de 23 frappes, dans quoi, 20 défenses, ce qui en fait le 21 le 15. Je pense que c'est le meilleur de l'histoire. Il a lié le record de Hopkins. Il a un ratio de knock-out, le meilleur de l'histoire des poids moyens. Je pense que les changements seront minimes. Mais je pense que tout va se défendre si Canelo apporte son courage.
Q. Gennady, est-ce que tu fais quelque chose de différent pour ce deuxième combat, cette revanche?
GENNADY "GGG" GOLOVKIN: Non. Comme toujours, je vais 100% de ce que je dois faire et je serai prêt à 100% pour ça combat.
Q. Pouvez-vous parler de votre impressionnant jeu de jambes et de votre mobilité dans le premier combat, et maintenant que vous avez subi une intervention chirurgicale au genou, pensez-vous que votre jeu de jambes pourrait être encore meilleur dans la revanche?
CANELO ALVAREZ: mon arsenal. Je sais comment bouger à l'intérieur du ring. Le genou n'est pas un problème. Nous avons travaillé dur maintenant et nous nous sommes entraînés ici et ça ne m'a pas posé de problèmes et si ça arrive pendant le combat ça me donne des problèmes, nous aurons déjà un Plan B, une stratégie,
MAURICIO PEDROZA: Merci à tous de vous être joints à nous aujourd'hui pour assister à cet événement spécial Facebook en direct de GGG.
