35岁的戈洛夫金如果下个月能够击败阿瓦雷兹，只需再有一年多的时间就可以打破霍普金斯20场拳王卫冕战的记录。
戈洛夫金在2010年8月赢得了WBA160磅冠军头衔，已经连续18次卫冕。9月16日在拉斯维加斯的T-Mobile竞技场迎战 阿瓦雷兹(49-1-1, 34 KOs)，HBO按次付费，按次付费价格每户74.95，高清。
戈洛夫金说；“是的，我可能会战斗到40岁，还有五年。这就是拳击，每天都要面临身体上的伤害，一拳就能改变了你的生活。现在我感觉很好，我的速度，一切都很好。我的家人和团队都在支持我。你知道，我觉得很舒服，可能还会打五六年”。
戈洛夫金的教练桑切斯说；“我们更应该在精神上激励他去战斗，身体上他一直没问题，就像是所有伟大的战士那样。如果推广人洛夫勒和他的经理人郝尔曼如果能用奖励激发他去健身房，他会更有动力。
如果16号他做的很好，那么他再打三四年是没有问题的。只要他坚持不懈的去争取我们所认知的方法，公众就会不断的要求他去打比赛，希望洛夫勒能考虑到这些”。
Gennady Golovkin, 35, Hopes to Continue Fighting Until He's 40
By Keith Idec
Gennady Golovkin didn’t watch 40-year-old Floyd Mayweather Jr. beat Conor McGregor on Saturday night.
The undefeated middleweight champion still can see himself fighting until he is Mayweather’s age. Golovkin is 35, but if he beats Canelo Alvarez next month the Kazakh knockout artist probably would need to fight only another year or year-and-a-half if wants to break Bernard Hopkins’ record of 20 straight middleweight title defenses before he retires.
Golovkin has made 18 consecutive defenses of the WBA 160-pound championship he won in August 2010. Nevertheless, Golovkin seemed open to the idea of fighting until he’s 40 when answering questions on a conference call Wednesday to promote his September 16 showdown with Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas (HBO Pay-Per-View; $74.95 in HD).

“Yeah, probably,” Golovkin said. “I hope so. Right now, I feel good. Probably like 40, five years more. You know, this is boxing. Every day [brings] physical danger. Only one punch change life. Right now, I feel great. My speed, everything, is good. My family, my team support me. You know, I feel very comfortable. Probably, yeah, five, six more [years].”
Abel Sanchez, Golovkin’s trainer, figures it’ll require more high-profile fights to continue motivating Golovkin enough to keep fighting that long.
“I think if we’re able to secure the kind of fights that motivate him mentally – physically, he’s always in shape,” Sanchez said. “All great fighters like that are always in shape. But the mental part of it is so important because you have to be motivated for a fight. If [promoter] Tom [Loeffler] and the Hermann brothers [Golovkin’s managers] and the powers that be can get him the kind of fights that motivate him and reward him to come back in the gym and work just as hard he does for all fights, then yes, I can see him fighting that long. But I think if there’s an if, that’s the big if.”
That decision ultimately will belong to Golovkin.
“If he’s motivated to fight on for another three or four years, then he should,” Sanchez said. “If he doesn’t have it in him, then he shouldn’t. But I think if we do better on the 16th, I think the public will ask for him to fight on. And as long as he keeps fighting the way that I know he can, the public will keep asking for that. Hopefully, Tom can put those together.” |
