Undisputed super-middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez will look to get back to winning ways as he will now face Gennady Golovkin for the third time in his career. This will be an important matchup for the Mexican superstar, who recently suffered a devastating loss to Dmitry Bivol in May.

However, Alvarez seems to be ready for this challenge as a new video surfaced of him displaying his boxing skills ahead of the fight. In the video, ‘Saul’ is seen working the pads with his trainer in what looks like a sauna suit.

Moreover, he displayed his incredible speed and precision, throwing quick combinations while dodging his trainer’s punches. This was not all, as the fans went wild after watching the video and couldn’t help but share their amusement.

Fans react to Canelo Alvarez’s training video

One fan praised Alvarez’s tenacity and stated that he looked highly motivated.

Another fan also praised Alvarez’s boxing skills and called him a ‘Beast’.

One fan hilariously pointed out Alvarez’s loss to Bivol. He rhetorically asked Alvarez why he wasn’t this aggressive against the Russian boxer.

Moreover, one fan praised the undisputed champ’s trainer, calling him a ‘Good pad man’.

One fan, surprisingly, wanted to get hit with a hook from Alvarez so that he could experience his power.

Furthermore, a fan stated that Golovkin’s chin would be put to the test after witnessing Alvarez’s punches.

Lastly, one fan stated that he would love to see the same version of Alvarez’s head movement in the ring against ‘GGG’.

Although Alvarez looked good on the pads, he certainly won’t be able to pressure Golovkin so easily. However, he did look impressive in this session and will be highly motivated to get back into the win column.

Alvarez’s former teammate Ryan Garcia thinks that ‘GGG will have the upper hand in the fight. In an interview with DAZN boxing, the lightweight prodigy stated that Golovkin will get an upset victory and have a performance of a lifetime. “I feel like I think GGG is going to have an amazing fight someway, somehow. Of course, the obvious pick is Canelo, but I just have a sense that GGG is going to have a performance of a lifetime. I’m gonna say GGG,” said Garcia.

However, the YouTube sensation thinks that the Mexican champ can bring home a second win over his rival. “I got Canelo TKO after round 8. It’s not gonna come easy, but he seems more motivated than ever and he knows that his career is kind of on the line,” he said. Both fighters are great competitors who will certainly go as all-time greats. However, only one fighter can come out as the victor on September 17th.
