JAKARTA - The last fight in the Canelo Alvarez versus Gennady Golovkin trilogy took place last Sunday. The Mexican boxer won with an absolute decision.
The fight didn't go as the champion wanted. Even though Canelo defended his four crowns, he failed to accommodate GGG as he promised before the fight.
Canelo was very honest when asked at what point did he realize he would not bring down his opponent and revealed that he suffered a hand injury.
"In the first half," Canelo was quoted as saying by Marca, Monday.
"I know he is tough. I need surgery, my left hand is not good. But I'm fine, I'm a fighter, that's why I'm here. I can't hold a glass. It's so bad. But I'm a fighter.
"And with such a hand I beat one of the best jabbers in history."
The fight can be divided into two parts. Until the seventh round of the super middleweight champion was in control and then 'Triple G' rose again.
"I'm not surprised [with the reaction]," added Canelo.
"I know him. He's a strong boxer. I love sharing the ring with him. He's a very good boxer. I'm happy to be involved in such a fight.
"After the eighth round there was fatigue. I couldn't explode because I couldn't fight normally. It's satisfying because I proved that I was better after 12 rounds."
