Round one:

Alvarez began the session sticking and moving effectively. The young redhead was on his toes when he maneuvered around the casually advancing Golovkin, but he planted his feet every time he let his hands go, including his stiff jab. However, Golovkin picked off most of Alvarezs shots with his gloves as he quickly cut the ring off, occasionally switching stances as he stepped forward. The 2004 Olympian slipped a beautiful left uppercut through Alvarezs guard to score the first significant punch midway through the round. Alvarez loaded up with a retaliatory hook that missed and spun him halfway around. Golovkin didnt jab much, but he landed it whenever he let it go. Alvarez began to look for ways to counter his antagonist in the final minute and scored with a sweet right cross followed by a hook that shook Golovkin down to his shoes. The Kazakh just smiled at him, though. Unfazed, Alvarez stood his ground in the final 30 seconds and took a few hard body shots.

Round two:

Golovkin stalked a little faster while displaying decent head movement and a nice straight, crisp jab. Alvarez definitely felt the pressure as he gave ground without allowing his back to touch the ropes. He used fluid upper-body movement to evade Golovkins short power shots, which prompted co-trainer Jose Reynoso to yell Bien, bien, muy bien! from the corner. Alvarez landed a picture-perfect head-to-body hook combination mid-round. Golovkin fired back but the kid leaned away from the punches. Alvarez tried to counter Golovkin but couldnt get through the older fighters guard. Still, the young mans accuracy backed Golovkin off for the first time during the session. Alvarez followed Golovkin during the final minute but walked into a hard left hook that appeared to rock him with 10 seconds remaining. Alvarez didnt return to his corner after the bell but instead tried to shake out his right leg, which immediately stiffened on impact of Golovkins hook.

Rounds three and four:

Alvarez abandoned his jab and his upper-body movement and took the fight to Golovkin with both hands. Golovkin welcomed the aggression, easily blocking Alvarezs punches while landing most of his. Alvarez sucked it up and even walked forward while attempting to block as much heat as he could, but it was clear that he could not match Golovkins strength or power. Still, the budding young star got in an occasional power punch whenever he let his hands go in bunches. His hook-right combination found the mark but his technique was not as tight as it was at the start of the session and his face was turning beet red from Golovkins punches. The kid showed guts but he didnt merit a single bien from Reynoso in the third round. He didnt hear it until two and half minutes into the fourth round, when he let loose with a blazing five-punch combination. Golovkin dodged or parried most of the shots but Alvarez earned his respect for the round.

Round five:

A tired-looking Alvarez resumed his jab and lateral movement to buy himself a breather. His jab was especially effective when he shot-gunned it. Golovkin neglected his jab and looked to counter Alvarezs left stick with single power punches (the hook in particular). Alvarez did more moving along the ring perimeter (his back now grazing the ropes) than punching, but he got off hard shots when he did let his hands go.

Round six:

Alvarez caught his second wind in the final round, bouncing on his toes with quick one-two combinations. Muy bien! Reynoso yelled after Alvarez landed a right uppercut-right cross combination off the ropes. Golovkin grinned again and attacked Alvarezs body as the kid tried to spin away. They both loaded up with single power punches during the final minute of the round.

It was good stuff and definitely worth the trip. I wasnt the only observer who appreciated the session.

That was great, said Antillon, who is slated to challenge WBA lightweight beltholder Brandon Rios in a cant-miss barnburner on July 9. Two undefeated champions going at it. You dont see this often.

just keep in mind that canelo was only 20 or 21 when this happened...
he is now bigger, stronger, smarter and more experienced now after fighting the likes of trout, floyd, lara, etc..
and by the way GGG said canelo is the best fighter he has ever fought or sparred...

This is exactly what i've been saying in my re-assessment of ggg-rubio ...ggg is slow. he's also very hittable as rubio showed...and the thing is rubio is slow as well, but he was able to tag ggg without any problem. ggg has problems with speed and quickness. also, look at ggg's response to getting hiti n the rubio fight. he covers up or clinches immediately. as he starts to face a better quality of opposition, all those flaws will be glaringly exposed...for now, ggg is fortunate to be in a very weak division...but if he sticks around another year or so, things will change. i give bradley and cotto a good shot at beating ggg...this is because they can move, box and have speed and qjuickness far superior to geale, rubio, adama and macklin.

i think ggg is actually on the decline....a year ago he seemed much sharper in the stevens fight. he looked faster and had more snap to his punches and moved more fluidly. against rubio he seemed to be showing signs of aging (slowing down) and too easy to hit. in a year or so, he'll be slower....just when the competition promises to get a whole helluva lot tougher.

That's his opinion

Vigilance777 · Oct 22, 2014

Canelo probably beats GGG...probably.

^^This right hereI'll add mosley, trout, lara and mayweather.

GGG would dominate canelo's resume with such ease. It's hard to imagine canelo competing.

VG_Addict · Oct 22, 2014

GGG is better than Canelo, and more skilled. For starters, GGG actually knows how to cut off the ring.

Win over lara puts ggg whole.resume to shame, dnt bang on about boo hoo no one wants to.fight ggg, for a guy with 10 defences of a world title his resume is a joke, he clearly has the skill Imo to more than match canelo but most of what ggg has done is overblown massively by taken on number 3 or 4 ranked fighter in the alphabet ranking and claiming he's beat 15 top 10 ranked fighters which is a good sound bite I guess
