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.”
