BEFORE and AFTER Fighting Canelo Alvarez

it was a painful experience you know i still say to this day it's still on two power seasonal a day fight fans welcome back with yieldrum and saunders on the horizon can the boxing world satisfy the pound for pound king's hunger for competition and provide canelo the opposition he craves he's calm and calculated though if you can emotionally engage the superstar there's always a chance here we take a look at opponents before and after fighting canelo alvarez [Applause] you know i was flying at the time i was european welterweight champion and i'm boxing really well ten years ago much like his older brother ricky matthew hatton's no-nonsense approach landed him an opportunity against an exciting young mexican prospect most of the fight fans are gonna say you're gonna need quite a bit of magic to beat soul alvarez you know people make me the underdog in this fight i love being the underdog i love people proving people wrong and i'm sure i can do that i'm 100 confident and i've been proving people wrong my whole career and i don't think saturday night's going to be any different i think people in for a big show already maturing into a stellar talent canelo was too big and strong dominating from first bill to last do you think that alvarez has the tools to wind up a consummate boxer no not at all if you look at his attitude right now his attitude is killed killed killed patton took his punishment and commendably lasted the course we just didn't realize that he was going to be that big he's such a big guy it's so frustrating when a fighter is hitting another fighter and he keeps walking through you completely on another level a fantastic fighter um so so strong powerful and uh i was really really impressed with him and i still say to this day i'm still on two paracetamol a day now vanilla is already a star he came to america he brought him over here to become a superstar displaying his usual humility sugar shane mosley viewed canelo as a stepping stone back to the big time i know i'm gonna win i'm gonna take the title back and uh and then move on to the next one the mexicans saw a mosley ko as his route deployed is that your goal in this fight to be the first man to knock out shane mosley uh i'm gonna go and i'm gonna do my work and i'm gonna look to win the fight i'm ready i'm ready and ready i'm really ready the bout was a battle between canelo's power and shane's iron chin mosley survived as a classy canelo won by a landslide [Applause] he's pretty quick how far can he go oh i think he'd go a long ways i mean his shots were good his his punches were good and sharp and crisp uh he can go a long ways really good he's got good defense he's got a good movement but is he on the level of like oscar and winky and vernon you know so yeah i have no fear i don't fear anyone every fighter is is a strong fighter a dangerous fighter victor ortiz is just as big as canelo i'm pretty sure they punched just as hard but we will find out on september 15th seeking redemption after a loss to jesse vargas jose sito lopez a modern-day rocky was ready to upset the odds on mexican independence schools i said uh alvarez is not invincible you know he's somebody that can beat and i gotta i gotta be at my best to be waiting as expected lopez showed incredible heart but as canelo upped the pace the wbc title challenger was being busted up and hurt suffering a fifth round stoppage retains the wbc super welterweight championship congratulations we knew he was a tough fighter he came in executed he did what he had to do um very very strong fighter he's smart uh he's punching farming a lot of a lot of fighters hit hard but uh he used his body strength uh real good and was able to close in on me and good body strength he won't be fighting but you will be fighting on that date uh austin trout just called you out in the ring do you want do you want uh would you take that fight with canelo's reputation growing many avoided the wbc-like middleweight kingpin though enjoying a rise of his own slick southpaw austin trout was actively hunting down the champion now you have won this fight would you like to fight canelo you're absolutely right for a canelo you'll get it yo duqueto canelo hopefully i can get the fans to start cheering for our child vs canelo and you know once the fans are behind you then really they can't do much else but make the fight happen all right gentlemen one of the rules over the dress room i want you to obey my commands getting his wish trout pushed canelo hard if an opponent is able to do that to a boxer and keep the boxer backing up having favorable moments in a tactical affair austin showed strong powers of recovery and craved a rematch he was the better man he was quicker he was stronger he was a better man to me i have i have no excuses for tonight he box a lot better than i thought you know he moved a lot better than i thought not that i was underestimating him but we were just prepared for a totally different fighter and um he shocked us he shocked us i've been sitting on the top of the floor for 17 you might wanna call years the golden boy gotta beat everybody [Music] ensuring the odds were in his favor money may was intent on handing oscar de la hoya another loss by manhandling his protege i am old enough to be his father and care less what canelo did in his camp you know i'm not a responsible partner i'm from floyd mayweather i can [ __ ] fight september 14th canelo got a problem but that's because he's never had an opponent to bring it out despite falling short canelo showed a willingness to fight the best and defeat taught him the lessons that have made him into the fighter we see today canelo may well be the fire of tomorrow he is not quite yet the fighter of today mexico has produced some great champions throughout the years and canelo is a champion he's a true champion at heart and a true champion like canelo he can take a loss and bounce back his heart right and mexican heart you know fight to the death but um he will be champion again we can fight ok you know we're going to keep going we got to go we got our fight we got our team we're rocking you know i'm saying but uh you know i think it just shows the world the guy just don't he don't want to fight laura he's terrified alarm another who chased a canelo fight cuba's eris landi lara was a high risk option who brought a frustratingly effective southpaw style to the party [Music] laura called him out at a press conference canelo accepted and struggled to a split decision victory that divided fan opinion and left the losers team incense [Applause] it was disgraceful what they did to me you wanted to fight with aggression you wanted to fight or where both men may be bleeding you wanted a fight where people get battered and bruised this is what you're gonna get never one to back down james kirkland was 32-1 with a huge knockout percentage when he brought the fire to canelo in texas i know he's gonna move but the point is how long can you move the way i'm coming did i fight they're gonna oh crooked he got knocked down his last fight but i won baby i'm just ready to fight canelo wake up cause more likely than not one of these two is about to go to sleep right hand by canelo kirkland firing away kirkland went in all guns blazing paying a heavy price as canelo used his stunning punch picking abilities to find kirkland's often available chin and punish him heavily i've never seen kirkland try to play rope-a-dope that tells you how hurt he must be right uppercut continues to land there's a perfect straight right hand and shirley's going to stop the fight what a performance by canelo alvarez i said i definitely don't want to go too much into it i just felt like there was more to kirkland uh that i could have been able to give when we had the fight conference call that you had that you feel that canelo is just another fighter to you and this is just another fight why do you feel that way because when fans see canelo they see him as a really dangerous guy every fight is another fight every opponent is another opponent that's all evoking the spirit of great mexico versus puerto rico rivalries of the past pride and patriotism was on the line as miguel cotto's trainer freddie roach stoked up pre-fight fire do you have enough experience to beat you we'll see on november 21st does he have enough experience to beat mcgowan no i'm betting both my houses on that are you really betting on this fight of course let's go yeah kodo boxed competently for the 12 round duration lacking the power at this stage to cause the younger man significant distress i thought he fought good fighters a good close fight good competitive fight good for boxing but i i thought we had the edge at the end but um it was the other way and um i have a challenge in front of me it makes you train harder work harder i promise you all come may 7 guys i'm going to win this title and i'm going to become the middle east in a clash that came out of the blue amir khan moved up and wait to test his suspect chen against a puncher of repute the fastest hands in boxing i am going into the fight the underdog it's a great fight for me but a boxer versus a fighter and we've seen in the past boxes were well given canelo huge problems canelo took his time working out khan's sprightly movements before dropping the axe so ferociously in round six that many feared for amir's physical safety i want to go out there as a champion unfortunately um i didn't make it to the end but i tried my best and i just wanted a big thank you to everyone who turned up here left the right hand and that's a shot i've literally knocked a lot of people down with and he didn't move back and i thought i've got my hands full here no disrespect but i'm not a small over the hill mcgraw cut so i'm not a blown at 147 like amir khan you know i'm a big 154 and you know he's a hero for mexico but that's as far as it goes from my point of view four months after khan canelo dealt with another british opponent as he dropped back down to 154 pounds to take on liam smith four pounds i'd probably approach exactly the same you know make him fight and just try and be a little bit defensive he's a baby or a sapphire and you want the left side the poster that he wants you know the ringwork faced that child is in my opinion that's a sign of weakness for me is smith's best enough to make this more than just a showcase for canelo beefy later claimed the mexican did not punch as hard as he expected yet canelo raked smith's head and body regularly enough to force a ninth-round stoppage that are landing on both sides this is why people aren't so that's good again i'm honest manny you know he was one two steps to edit me and every everything i tried to do on that night with with the boxing iq side to it so if you've got your own kind of wear level fighters underneath and i know i can mix it with a fight that's been brewing here they are inside the ring we are underway they don't even tap gloves that was the right crash completely and utterly dominated julio cesar chavez jr canelo's a great fighter uh he did his job tonight and uh you know the distance the inactivity uh it hurt me tonight the challenge is number one for canelo rima to 168. do you want to rematch this now of course they will never knock out him in my way but to have canelo alvarez winning 118 110 that judge needs to be tested now with the first fight blighted by a questionable draw canelo and triple g inevitably threw down once again to determine middleweight supremacy in mexico a parrot's green anywhere he goes i'm not afraid of him i'm gonna knock him out do you think canelo will be more aggressive in the rematch i sure hope so because i think these fans deserve the kind of fight that they expected the first time i think this is sport first of all and second is business you know show me who is number one who's best boxing slicker in the rematch more willing to stand inside and trade canelo snatched the win in a series that many believe deserves a third decisive installment what a terrific effort i feel i win you know just judge does not give me points just this is not my problem i take my job i don't feel i'm not lost you know this is justice you know i have a new team i have a new trainer a new coach i think this is biggest step for me for my future he's okay yeah he said he got some news he said what he said can i want to fight you i said yeah let's do it in his first jaunt up at super middleweight canelo had the chance to grab a world title and add another uk fighter to his growing list yeah on the same year no one's going to give me a chance here but i prepared well i believe in myself yeah that's what champions do they win and defend it wherever they wherever they need to defend it and this is a great opportunity it's at my weight shooting with the weight he's stepping off so you know we're studying now and you know i'm confident that i can go in there and do the business grangy and heavy-handed rocky fielding was carved up by canelo's incisive combinations as the mexican challenger sliced and diced the first of eddie hearn's hopefuls of that should do it it's over that is it ricky gonzalez makes the right call stop there with someone who's a lethal who's strong and and he caught me and you know i'll give it everything can the better mom was 24 hours away from their historic meeting [Music] after winning back a world middleweight title brooklyn's daniel jacobs won the golden ticket with a crack at boxing's premier attraction this is the opportunity of a lifetime i feel like i'm the best middleweight in the world and that [ __ ] right there he gonna get it tomorrow watch that [ __ ] [ __ ] that let's go i'm a better fighter than canelo i am the best i'm at my physical peak when you're throwing almost 100 punches around you can never lose a fight we're prepared to do so you know i rarely see sergio canelo's class shone through and even though jacobs competed hard throughout he was unable to put his foot down at the critical moments to avoid a unanimous points defeat very close chasing jacobs now has him on the run [Music] it doesn't get any higher than this and i'm just grateful to have this opportunity to please all the fans that tuned in and everyone that showed up tonight early on it was really hard to get the rhythm of canelo and i felt once i got the rhythm then i started to push him back and didn't become a really really competitive fight [Music] despite sergey kovalev displaying clear signs of wear and tear canelo's decision to move up to 175 pounds appeared at first to be a step too far my manager was telling me like hey canelo interesting fight with you like really you're kidding me no really okay if it's real uh put the contract under the table and sign it and go i will i will have a big protection with this fighter nipples yeah like a pillow pillow you know remaining patient and composed ducking and dodging kovalev's tentative jab canelo added another world title to his ledger with a crushing right-hand with a left hand finish his balance went completely and just like that just as i was saying that the fight had never really caught fire a little bit right now didn't recover from my last fight but it's okay uh thanks for fight canelo uh big stay with him he makes history you know it's okay i'll be back i'll be back tomorrow this fight has come at a great time in california for a while now since becoming a world champion i wanted the biggest fights possible and the biggest fight possible for me at the moment is going to take his greatest performance of his career to dethrone the legend of canelo alvarez most recently canelo was faced with eddie hearn's latest attempt to derail the mexicans hype train liverpool's callum smith a tall and undefeated champion six foot three i'm i'm a lot bigger than him i'm punching it's just star wars i'm not ideal to fight but i'm not taking it away from canelo alvarez he's a special [Applause] canelo dictated the distance and tempo from the start grinding away in the pocket to a points win beleaguered smith was grateful to hear the final bell right hand he's hurt smith is i probably expected bigger it was more just as he you know keeps you thinking of what what's coming next then before you know it he's closed the gap down without without throwing a punch and he was just a clever fighter mentally physically everything's focused i'm on it but that is the goal i want canelo alvarez providing canelo takes care of business on february 27th in his usual professional manner the most verbal opponent of his career will be waiting in the wings but canelo alvarez is the one i want next and i'll put that performance right 100 as unbeaten billy joe saunders prepares for the fight of his life i have to deliver a monster fight for billy joe that's when you're going to see the very best of billy joe saunders in the big fight eating cereal with chopsticks is the mark of a breakfast master one who knows the tau of the bull this serial killer is not afraid to go against the grain reflexes and motor skills are honed he is equally adept at cheerily grabbing an o or putting the crunch down on the captain but when the bowl is picked clean this sensei of snacking deploys his secret weapon the hollow chopstick in a moment the milk is gone nearly a single missed drop when you can take the spoon from my hand then you will be ready for the next motividia presentation
