Eddy Reynoso and Abel Sanchez, trainers of Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Glolovkin, talk about the importance of Canelo vs. Golovkin to the sport of boxing

Below are highlights from the conversation with Canelo's trainer in Staredown:


 
EDDY REYNOSO, Trainer to Canelo Alvarez:

"This fight is huge for Mexico. There hasn't been a fight like this since Pacquaio vs. Marquez that has peaked such interest.

[When asked about Gennady's "Mexican Style"] "It makes me proud that foreign boxers would choose to emulate our Mexican boxing style. It's proof of importance.

"Canelo and Gennady's boxing styles will certainly test each other, and this is the type of fight that can result in a trilogy. This fight will bring boxing the credibility it once had in the past. The boxer that makes the best adjustments is the one that will win the fight.

"We are working hard in the gym. We know Golovkin is a strong boxer, but Saul is a better boxer, and his time is now."
