GGG says Canelo’s “not keeping his word. He’s trying to deceive people again, and being dishonest.”

WBA/WBC middleweight champion Gennady Golovkin had some choice words about Canelo Alvarez when talking with reporters about their September 15 rematch in Las Vegas.

[On what he wants to accomplish Sept 15] “I want to punish him. I want to have a fight and punish him for all the bad things that he and his team have done, so basically to put them — to size him down and to put him and his team in their place.”

[On Canelo’s ‘running’] “He always has a way of running on the ring, but it was his style. However, what happened on our last fight, he was really avoiding fighting close to me. I think that’s exactly what happened, but what he’s trying to say right now, it just proves that he’s not keeping his word. He’s trying to deceive people again, and being dishonest. But it doesn’t matter what he said. Let him say whatever he wants.”

[On Canelo’s trainer calling him ‘a donkey’] “What I want to say is I don’t want to go so low at the level of statements like that. It just shows a lack of class. It shows low class. It just shows a lack of upbringing, lack of intelligence. It just shows, again, how they behave themselves. I’m never able to say anything so low about anybody. So I just don’t want to comment about this anymore.”
