Canelo VS Golovkin Best fight live streamPosted by canelovsgolovkin live on September 12th, 2017 As a boy boxer in Kazakhstan little Gennady, weighing about 5 stone dripping wet, started to collect his first glitzy trophies when he was 11 and finished his amateur life with close to 400 contests. "I have hundreds of my fights on tapes from when I was a small boy and I still watch them when I'm in Kazakhstan," Golovkin told me. He was dominant and brutal at the end of his time in a vest, winning the World amateur title and losing in the 2004 Olympic final. He stopped half of his last fifty opponents, a truly remarkable feat in modern amateur boxing. In Mexico Alvarez fought as an amateur but turned professional three months after his fifteenth birthday and entered an uneasy twilight world that exists in far too many countries where boys fight as men, against men and are often finished before their teenage years have ended. Alvarez was lucky, smart and tough. He survived, going 12 full rounds of three minutes each round for the first time when he was just 17 and one month, an age and a time when he should have been fighting three rounds of just two minutes. In Britain he would have still been too young to turn professional. Canelo vs Golovkin live Like it? Share it! |
