Canelo counts on experience to beat GGG

By Daily Sports on August 11, 2017

Equipped with his experience from beating the likes of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr, Amir Khan and James Kirkland, Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) believes he can topple undefeated IBF/IBO/WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady “GGG” Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs) from the unbeaten ranks.

Both fighters are expected to clash on September 16 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Canelo blames his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. from 4 years ago on his lack of experience, and he thinks the fight would have a different outcome if the two of them were to face each other now.

By the same token, the 27-year-old Canelo believes he has enough know how to hand the 35-year-old Golovkin his first loss of his 10-year pro career when the two of them meet next month on HBO pay-per-view.

“I’ve definitely learned a lot,” said Canelo in talking about the experience he’s gotten in the last 4 years of his career. “I have more experience now. I feel more confident. I’m more of a mature fighter now. Obviously not just that fight, but the fights that followed have got me to this point.”
