“Golovkin still has a blow, and Canelo needs to be rehabilitated for mediocre loss to Bivol” – Grigory Drozd

Former WBC cruiserweight champion and current promoter Grigori Drozd told that Kazakh Gennady Golovkin still has a powerful arsenal to prove himself in a duel against Saul Alvarez and the Mexican will have to rehabilitate in front of the fans for a crushing defeat against the Russian Dmitry Bivol .

Bivol on May 7 in Las Vegas, by unanimous decision, defeated the highest paid boxer on the planet, the absolute world champion of the second middleweight, the world champion in four weight classes Alvarez. Only the Russian’s belt was at stake in the fight. The contract also included the option of an immediate rematch should Bivol triumph. On Tuesday, it was announced that Alvarez would fight Kazakh Gennady Golovkin for a third fight on September 17.

– We saw Gennady Golovkin’s last fight (in April, the Kazakh beat the Japanese Ryota Murata earlier than expected – editor’s note), and I didn’t like the start. But in the end, Gena came to his senses in terms of style, he needed adaptation for three rounds. But questions remained about speed and protection.

I think the meeting between Golovkin and Alvarez will be competitive. I repeat, the first fight was won by Gena Golovkin. He still has a strong hit. It has everything, but, however, the speed wall has fallen. And Canelo, like a wounded beast, will try to rehabilitate himself in the eyes of his fans after a mediocre fight loss against Bivol. In general, the fight should be interesting. Given the age of Gennady Canelo will be the favorite. But I repeat, Gena is fine, – said Drozd “”.

Golovkin and Alvarez have already met twice in the ring. In the first meeting in 2017, a draw was recorded, and in the second game in 2018, the judges gave the victory to the Mexican.

Alvarez is 31 years old, in the professional ring he won 57 wins with two losses and two draws. Golovkin, 40, has 42 wins, 1 loss and 1 draw.
