随着9月16日大赛的临近,曾经一度被看好的戈洛夫金,一年多以来的那少许的优势已经变的越发微弱,很多专家已经转变观念看好阿瓦雷兹将会击败戈洛夫金,其中包括重量级拳王安东尼.约书亚。
约书亚告诉《体育邮报》说;“我希望阿瓦雷兹获胜,但不是因为不喜欢戈洛夫金,我支持阿瓦雷兹已经有很长一段时间了。他27岁就取得了现在的成就,在这项运动中他还只能算是个孩子,如果再给他十年时间,他会成为这项运动中的佼佼者,在此期间会给拳击做出很多贡献。
这就是我支持阿瓦雷兹的原因,但这会将会是一场艰苦的战斗。戈洛夫金是一个来自于哈萨克斯坦的,基础良好的拳击手,但阿瓦雷兹也是如此,所以我会把钱压在他身上”。
Anthony Joshua: I'm Riding With Canelo, Hope He Beats Golovkin!
IBF, IBO, WBA heavyweight champion Anthony Joshua is full behind Mexican superstar Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (49-1-1, 34 KOs) to unseat middleweight king Gennady Golovkin (37-0, 33 KOs).
Canelo will challenge Golovkin, who holds the WBC, IBO, WBA, IBF middleweight belts, on September 16th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. HBO Pay-Per-View will carry the bout.
The bout is the most anticipated boxing fight of the year, with nearly two years of hype for the match to take place.

While Golovkin is a slight favorite to win, the fight is now a lot closer in the eyes of many than it was a year ago. A year ago, the majority of pundits were siding with Golovkin to win, but now there are many who are siding with Canelo to pull it off.
Joshua is among the Canelo supporters and wants him to pull though with a victory over GGG, who last September traveled over to the UK and stopped Joshua's stablemate Kell Brook in five rounds. But before he pulled off that stoppage victory, Golovkin had taken his fair share of punches from Brook, who was moving up by 13-pounds from the welterweight division.
"I hope Canelo wins, not that I don't like Triple G. I have just been riding with Canelo for a long time," Joshua told Sports Mail.
"He's 27 and the man has achieved so much and he'll be one of the fathers. He's still a baby but he'll be one of the fathers in the sport, give him another 10 years. He'll be around for a long time and I think he'll do great things for the sport.
"So I have been riding with Canelo for a long time but it's going to be a tough fight because Triple G is from Kazakhstan, he has the good foundations of a boxer. But so has Canelo, so I'll put my money on him." |
