Mexican boxer Canelo Alvarez has admitted he has imagined how he is going to knock out Gennady Golovkin in their middleweight title rematch.
If he is to wake up on Sunday morning as the 160lb champion, though, Alvarez will have to take some chances he didn’t in his first fight with Golovkin a year ago – something that could prove to be a real problem against a fighter who has knocked out 34 opponents in his 39 professional fights.
“I know it’s going to be a tough fight but I’m going in there to knock him out,” Alvarez said at the weigh-in. Every night in my bed before I go to sleep I visualise what I need to do to get the knockout.” Alvarez and Golovkin get another chance to settle what they couldn’t last September when they meet in a rematch of their first fight, which ended in a draw.
