NANGAKO ng magandang laban sina Lineal at Ring Magazine middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” Alvarez ng Mexico at WBC, WBA, IBF at IBO titlist Gennady “GGG” Golovkin ng Kazakhstan sa huling press conference sa T-Mobile Arena bago ang kanilang unification bout bukas sa Las Vegas, Nevada sa United States.
“I don’t like to talk too much. I just want to say that I’m prepared. I know it will be a tough fight. I just want you all to enjoy it like I’m going to enjoy it,” sabi ni Alvarez sa Fightnews.com.
“I’m really, really excited to get in and fight. The excitement is there. The adrenaline is there. I have nothing to say to him. They know what kind of fighter I am. I’m prepared. I’m ready. All I want to tell him is look, let’s give the fans a great fight,” dagdag ng Mexican.
Wala ring gaanong sinabi si Golovkin kundi magsisikap upang magwagi sa makasaysayang laban.
“I am really happy to see everybody in Vegas. I want to thank Golden Boy and GGG Promotions for the great work, our sponsors and HBO. I don’t want to talk too much. I am ready,” ani Golovkin na bahagyang liyamado sa sagupaan.
“I respect Canelo’s team. This is a big day not only for us, but for boxing and this era. This will be a huge historic fight at T-Mobile Arena. I feel comfortable. I see that Canelo is ready. He is ready for serious business, a serious fight. This fight will be the biggest gift to the people,” diin ng knockout artist.
Para naman kay Golden Boy Promotions big boss Oscar dela Hoya, nakatitiyak siya na hindi malilimutan ng boxing fans ang pinakahihintay na sagupaan.
“This is a fight to see who the best pound-for-pound fighter on the planet is. I am grateful to everyone in the boxing world who contributed to making this event. This event needs no hype whatsoever,” giit ni Dela Hoya. “This is a fight that’s a can’t-miss event. That’s the bottom line. It’s going to be a great fight because of what is at stake: pride and fighting for your country and boxing fans. This is a fight for the sport of boxing, and it couldn’t have come at a better time. The stakes couldn’t be higher.”
