Canelo Alvarez "I'm not even thinking of the $100,000 knockout bonus. I just want to win convincingly for all my fans"

 

LOS ANGELES (Aug. 29, 2012) -- Incredibly popular Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez participated in a spirited open media workout Wednesday at TSB-44 in Santa Monica, Calif. as he prepares to defend his WBC Super Welterweight World Championship against upset-minded breakout star Josesito Lopez in the main event of "Knockout Kings'' on Mexican Independence Day weekend, Saturday, Sept. 15, live on SHOWTIME ® (9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT, delayed on the West Coast) from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

 

In front of a jam-packed gym working with trainer Chepo Reynoso and co-trainer Eddy Reynoso, the undefeated champion hit the heavy bags, performed calisthenic exercises, shadowboxed and sparred for five rounds during an intense one-hour workout.

 

Here's what Canelo, his trainer, and Oscar De La Hoya, President of Golden Boy Promotions, said Wednesday:

"Every fight there's more and more pressure and more and more attention on me. The way I deal with it is to take it one fight at a time. Keep training and trying to get bigger every day. I want to learn and I'm still learning.

Absolutely, some of these super-featherweights are pretty tough.

Shame that since that's been the case he's progressively taken the softer option then!

He's right there is more pressure on him...pressure for him to fight a fucking Light Middleweight!

I think we're all in agreement here, it's hard to listen to a guy whine about the "pressure" when so little has been asked of him (at least lately). I'm not sure I wouldn't do the same thing if I was Golden Boy and had a hot-ticket item that was 21-years old, I'd protect him and keep cashing in also, but don't try to con the intelligent boxing fans with quotes from Canelo about how rough he's had it, nobodies buying it.
