[ Music ] hello, there, boxing fans around the world.
Thank you for joining me once again here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today, uh canelo alvarez certainly seems to be uh, inspiring a lot of people to write and or say stuff uh tickets for his fight against dimitri bible have gone on Sale um and that’s not uh, coming up until may 7th that fight uh taking place in las vegas.
The t-mobile arena, uh canel by the way, is 51 57 1-2 with 39 knock heads and he’s returning to las vegas for the first time since 2019, where he defeated daniel jacobs at the t-mobile arena in a middleweight unification clash, [, Music ].
For his part, the wba belt holder bible is 31 years old.
19-0 undefeated 11 knockouts has been untouchable as a pro in his 19 outings in the paid ranks and canelo will be his tenth.
As a leader’s 10th defense of his crown bill, bibble has seen the likes of joe smith jr john pascal sullivan pereira on its path to meeting canal.
So, anyway, with tickets uh in las vegas uh, you can easily find out where they’re available, but uh they’re also going to be shown on to zone pay-per-view.
But what’s interesting is the stream of headlines.
I’Ve noticed uh, let’s start off with canelo, open to fighting better versus smith winner in december, okay, fair enough uh.
Everyone said you know he should be fighting better.
I said well we’ll see about that.
It better, be it better be of his uh.
You know everyone’s excited about that fighting canelo, but in ways uh bernard hopkins – and he said german charlo – is a bigger threat to canelo than benavidez right romero, wades in and says, canelo picked bibble because he’s the easiest one to which shakur stevenson said raleigh romero is Garbage and predicts tank will stop him.
That’S uh, let’s read the first paragraph.
Shakur stevenson thinks rowley romero sucks as a fighter and he’s predicting javonta tank davis will knock him out uh in their fight on may 28th on the showtime paperb event at the barclays center.
In brooklyn there will be a super featherweight champion.
Stevenson has watched some of the unbeaten number, one lightweight, contender, rolly’s fights and he says garbage and deserved a loss in his fight against jackson marinas in 2020.
.
Anyway, i don’t want to get too caught up in that rabbit hole, but anyway in ways uh triple g golovkin, bit back at canelo alvarez this week and reacting to the mexican stars saying a trilogy match between them is personal for him because of things he said About him four years ago, golovkin who’s 41 1-1 with 36 knockouts, was surprised at this delayed reaction from the mexican star canelo, who wondering why it took him all these years.
To finally do something about his anger.
Instead of setting up a trilogy match with triple g in the last four years, canelo has quietly been stewing over the things that the kashtan fighter said about him in 2018.
.
What this suggests to some boxing fans is that canelo lacked the confidence to fight golovkin, again after being given a dubious 12-round majority decision in their rematch fought in september 2018.
.
That fight came after canelo’s dodgy 12-round draw against triple g in the first match in 2017, which fans once again thought golovkin had won anyway.
Uh, lots of lots, lots of back up back and forth between uh various uh fighters and uh and their comments on mr canelo and how he got to where he is today.

He says the venue is the only five minute drive from my home.
