Canelo Alvarez Boxing In Slow Motion
I suppose you are aware that there is another huge boxing match taking place in the coming months. As World Welterweight, Light middleweight, Middleweight titleholder Canelo Alvarez. Faces off against another World Champion and fan favourite Gennady Golovkin. In a superfight that has boxing purists going weak at the knees.
It’s a fight that has been spoken about for many years but just couldn’t seem to get going. Canelo at 27 has been a professional boxer since his early teens. Fighting many of the World’s greatest boxers throughout his career. With one of those was the p4p great Floyd Mayweather, who he faced when he was just 23 years old.

Is 8 years Alvarez’s senior and heading toward the end of a long and successful career. And finally with the Canelo fight, which fans and pundits alike had been calling for, for many years. And at 35, there is no doubting that the windows were closing quickly on the opportunity.
