Morales, Barrera Urge That Canelo Must Beat GGG For Legacy
By Miguel Rivera
Mexican legends and Hall of Famers Erik 'El Terrible' Morales and Marco Antonio Barrera have urged that countryman Saul "Canelo" Alvarez must win his upcoming rematch with Gennady Golovkin to secure his legacy in the boxing history books.
Canelo (49-1-2, 34 KOs) will challenge Golovkin for the WBA, WBC, IBO middleweight titles on September 15th from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Their first contest, which took place in September 2017, ended in a controversial twelve round split draw.

Canelo, who is currently in his prime, is the biggest boxing star in America and currently the biggest pay-per-view attraction.
But his legacy will take a hit, if he loses the contest with Golovkin, who at 36-years-old is closer to the end of his career.
"It's a very important fight and right now it's Canelo time. He's making history and the only one that can place him there (among the best), as you know, is the public itself and the press," said Barrera.
Morales agrees with his one-time rival.
"Saul needs the victory to finish validating his career as a boxer who has the necessary attributes, [and prove all of this to the] people who have criticized him a lot," Morales said.
"To be in the top 10, we do not have to say it to ourselves, who is in there or out, but it's the people who decide, obviously, and at the end of his career it will be decided if he is are among the best 5, 10 or 15, but he is getting there little by little and he is doing it well."
A victory will also erase some fresh doubts about Canelo, after the boxer tested positive for the banned substance clenbuterol back in February. He was suspended for six months by the Nevada State Athletic Commission and forced to postpone the original Golovkin rematch date, which was scheduled for May 5.

Canelo responds to Golovkin’s trainer, Abel Sanchez, who accused him of “running” in the first fight:
“Comments from Sanchez don’t really bother me because he actually thinks he’s a great trainer, but he doesn’t know what boxing is. He doesn’t know what it is to have technique. He doesn’t know what it is to box or to move. He doesn’t know what it means to adapt to the circumstances of a fight and not just go forward and throw punches. What I do is box. I find it strange that someone who believes himself to be a great trainer does not know how to distinguish between having technique and what he’s saying [the running].
“It’s one thing to be coming forward like a donkey and it’s another thing to be moving, dodging punches, counterpunching, and even staying on the ropes without him hitting you. I hope he goes back to his house and realizes what I’ve been saying about him: that he’s a dumbass [pendejo]. The first have has given me the confidence that I will win this fight. If I work him well throughout the fight, I can knock him out.”

Canelo-Golovkin Rematch: Judges, Referee Assigned By NSAC
By Keith Idec
Canelo Alvarez and Gennady Golovkin now know who’ll score their rematch if it goes the distance.
The Nevada State Athletic Commission has assigned Connecticut’s Glenn Feldman, Nevada’s Dave Moretti and New Jersey’s Steve Weisfeld to work their second 12-round, 160-pound middleweight championship match September 15 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Bob Bennett, the NSAC’s executive director, suggested those three judges to the five-member commission, which approved them Wednesday during the NSAC’s monthly meeting in Las Vegas.
The first Alvarez-Golovkin fight resulted in an infamous 12-round draw last September 16 at T-Mobile Arena. Judge Adalaide Byrd’s scorecard was widely criticized following that competitive bout because she scored 10 of the 12 rounds for Alvarez (118-110).

Moretti scored their fight for Golovkin (115-113), whom Moretti credited with winning seven of the 12 rounds. Don Trella had it even, six rounds apiece (114-114).
The NSAC also assigned New Jersey referee Benjy Esteves Jr. on Wednesday to officiate the Alvarez-Golovkin rematch.
Bennett suggested that the commission approve the assignment of Nevada referee Tony Weeks to work the Alvarez-Golovkin rematch. Tom Loeffler, Golovkin’s promoter, objected to Weeks working the bout during the meeting. Before the commission approved Esteves, NSAC chairman Anthony A. Marnell III said it was “absolutely absurd” for Loeffler to suggest Weeks isn’t qualified to officiate the rematch.
Bennett also defended the potential assignment of Weeks, who was widely criticized for how he handled the conclusion of the Andre Ward-Sergey Kovalev light heavyweight championship rematch in June 2017.
Loeffler reiterated he simply was attempting to avoid the potential for controversy because the judging of the first fight created such a firestorm and drew negative attention the sport.
Eric Gomez, president of Golden Boy Promotions, said during the meeting that Alvarez’s team had “no issue whatsoever” with Weeks working the Alvarez-Golovkin rematch. Gomez emphasized, though, that he understood Loeffler’s reservations about assigning Weeks to the fight.
Loeffler and Gomez agreed to allow another veteran Nevada referee, Robert Byrd, to officiate the rematch. Bennett and Marnell determined, however, that assigning Byrd to the rematch would be unfair to him and would welcome criticism because the heavily scrutinized Adalaide Byrd is his wife.
