Boxing: Trainer: Canelo has weight problem

The weight of Saul Canelo Alvarez could become a problem before the fight with Gennady Golovkin.The defender is clearly too heavy at the moment.

“He may have trouble getting the right weight.He has built up a lot of things,”said ESPN coach Freddie Roach.For the Weigh-In on Friday, Canelo must not weigh more than 160 pounds (around 72 kilogrmam).

At the moment, however, the weight of the boxer is estimated at between 180 and 190 pounds – that would be far too much for the moment.Boxing expert Dan Rafael has a completely different plan:”Canelo could deliberately forego the IBF title.

If the fighter would go into battle too hard and also tear the second Weigh-In on Saturday morning at 170 pounds, the fight would no longer be a title fight.However, Canelo would still have the chance to eliminate “GGG” and gain enormously in prestige.
