Canelo Alvarez accused his old rival Gennady Golovkin of putting forth a two-faced personality. Ripping apart the myth that the IBF and IBO middleweight champion is a nice guy, the Mexican star branded him as ‘A**h***.
Probably, two of the greatest technicians of boxing, Canelo, and ‘Triple G’ is gearing up to square off in the ring for the third time. To promote a highly anticipated bout, the pair went face to face in a press conference.
While interacting with the media, Canelo admitted the fact that this fight is personal for him, as he knew Golovkin’s reality.
So when his promoter asked Canelo to reflect on the two faced personality of Golovkin, he said this of Golovkin, “He’s two different people. He pretends to be a nice guy, but he’s no. He’s an a**h*** that’s what he is. He pretends to be a nice guy and oh yes ‘I’m just looking for the fame happy and then but another place he’d talk a lot of s***. That’s it is what it is. Just be a man and say what you say.”
However, during a media event, Golovkin remained silent on this. But post-press conference, when Fight hub asked Golovkin about this, he mentioned Canelo has changed and his behavior was different from what it was towards him in the past.
He told, “Well about things that he’s saying about the words that he’s choosing and his behavior yeah.”
Golovkin didn’t react immediately to Alvarez’s accusation, but was certainly surprised by his behavior.
Date and Venue of the upcoming clash between Canelo Alvarez and GGG
