Boxing superstar Canelo Alvarez recently suffered his first loss since he last fought with boxing legend Floyd Mayweather in 2013. Russian boxer Dmitry Bivol pulled off what many fans believes was one of the biggest upsets of the sport by defeating the Mexican king. Following that, now Alvarez is set to go up against Gennady Golovkin for his trilogy fight. Take a look at what he has to say about his opponent. 

Alvarez revealed that he is mad at Golovkin, and said, “He(Golovkin) always says I’m not a good champion, I’m embarrassed for my country, that all kind of stuff, that’s why I’m mad with him. Because when he is in front of me or near to me, he don’t say anything about that, right? That’s why I’m mad because he said a lot of things, so in front of me he don’t say anything. So that’s why I’m mad.”
