Alvarez: McGregor beat himself with overconfindence

Interview0 Comments

Alvarez says that McGregor wasn’t beaten by Diaz.

Diaz didn’t beat him that night. Conor beat himself, his overconfidence. Moving up in weight with that overconfidence, that’s what made him lose. But if he takes things seriously, I think it will be a different fight.

Open to McGregor boxing match

Makes Statement0 Comments

Alvarez says he is open to meeting McGregor is the boxing ring, and criticises his comments about boxers.

I’ve been fighting the best since I was 23, since a very young age, that’s the last thing he could ever speak about me or say about me, but I understand, there’s people out there that like to talk nonsense and stupidity. If he wants to try out boxing, then anytime he wants. If he wants to come over to this side of the world and try boxing, anytime he wants, to see that it’s not as easy as he thinks,

De La Hoya wants Canelo Alvarez vs. McGregor

Makes Statement0 Comments

De la Hoya says the only boxing fight that makes sense to him is McGregor vs. Alvarez.

If Conor is serious about fighting? First of all, I would love to talk to him and promote him. I mean, imagine Conor McGregor and Golden Boy coming together! But the only fight I would like to see, and this is the one that makes the most sense – as it would be the most exciting and would be a guaranteed knockout – is against Canelo Alvarez. And they’re in the same weight class. So it makes all the sense in the world. Imagine. 154. 160. It would be at 160 actually.

Oscar De La Hoya “Only fight that makes sense, McGregor vs. Canelo! At 160!”

McGregor: ‘Not really too much of a fan of either’ Canelo Alvarez or Gennady Golovkin

Makes Statement0 Comments

McGregor gives his opinion on Alvarez and Golovkin.

I’m not really too much of a fan of either of those. I think Canelo’s a little but stuck, a little bit flat on his feet. When I watch footage of him I just see him getting peppered — he has no feet under him…Golovkin I think came into camp, for this preparation, badly out of shape. I’m looking at him badly out of shape up in Big Bear and I just see a drained individual. So, although they’re supposedly up there as well, I don’t really think they are.
