JAKARTA - Saul Canelo Alvarez managed to overcome Gennady Golovkin in their trilogy fight on Sunday morning WIB. Boxers from Mexico emerged as winners, but at the same time were constantly criticized.
For various reasons, the complete fighter Canelo, who has proven his worth by defeating tough opponents in various categories, still failed to convince some of the fans.
One of the best boxers of the last decade, Roy Jones Jr., a former world champion in four divisions including heavyweights, actually praised Canelo for the career that Canelo is building.
Roy Jones Jr thinks Canelo is taking more risks than people think, something that incidentally could cost him a fight like against Bivol.
In addition, Canelo also repaired the damage that left Mayweather's unbeaten record and how his career began to spin around this fact.
"Now boxers don't challenge each other anymore, so I'm happy when Canelo challenges himself," Roy Jones Jr told DAZN.
"Many boxers don't do that anymore. They are afraid of 'zero' (numbers). Since Floyd (Mayweather) scored 50-0 and made a lot of money, they think if they lose unbeaten, they also lose the chance to make a lot of money.
"But, surprise! Even if you win, most boxers won't be able to make that much money."
