Canelo Confirms Return in May; Won't Commit to Golovkin Rematch
By Keith Idec
LAS VEGAS – It sure sounded Saturday night as if Canelo Alvarez will make Gennady Golovkin wait once again.
The Mexican icon confirmed that he won’t return to the ring until May, but Alvarez wouldn’t commit to boxing Golovkin again in that fight. Their action-packed, hard-fought, 12-round draw warrants an immediate rematch, but Alvarez indicated Golovkin might have to wait until next September to get another shot at him.
“Look, right now I wanna rest,” Alvarez said through a translator during their post-fight press conference. “Whatever the fans want, whatever the people want and ask for, we’ll do. You know that’s my style. But right now, who knows if it’s in May or September? But one thing’s for sure – this is my era, the era of Canelo.”

Earlier in the press conference, Alvarez acknowledged that there should be a rematch following the inconclusive ending to their long-awaited showdown at T-Mobile Arena.
“With this kind of fight, absolutely, boxing wins, the fans win,” said Alvarez, who made Golovkin wait nearly two years before fighting him. “And if the fans wanna see it again, why not? They can see it again.”
Alvarez (49-1-2, 34 KOs) and Golovkin (37-0-1, 33 KOs) delivered a fan-friendly fight Saturday night, but judge Adalaide Byrd’s scorecard caused controversy. Byrd scored Alvarez a 118-110 winner, which means she scored 10 of the 12 rounds for him in a fight that much more competitive than that.
Judge Dave Moretti scored it 115-113 for Golovkin. Judge Don Trella had it even (114-114).
Oscar De La Hoya, Alvarez’s promoter, even disputed Byrd’s scorecard. De La Hoya was less decisive about a rematch.
Kazakhstan’s Golovkin would’ve owed Alvarez a rematch had he won their fight for Golovkin’s IBF, IBO, WBA and WBC middleweight titles. Alvarez wouldn’t have owed Golovkin a rematch if he had won.
When a reporter prefaced a question to Alvarez on Saturday night by stating De La Hoya had said he would pursue a rematch, Golden Boy Promotions president Eric Gomez corrected him.
“Oscar said there is a rematch clause,” Gomez said. “He didn’t say he was gonna exercise it. The question was, ‘Is there a rematch clause?’ The answer was, ‘Yes, there is a rematch clause.’ We’re gonna sit down with [Alvarez] and see what he wants to do.”
Whatever Alvarez decides to do, Tom Loeffler, the managing director for K2 Promotions, said Saturday night that he expects Golovkin to fight again in December.

GGG's Promoter Hopes Canelo Rematch Process is Not Drawn-Out
Gennady Golovkin and Saul "Canelo" Alvarez fought to a draw in the hotly-anticipated world middleweight title showdown in Las Vegas.
Golovkin was bidding to defend his WBC, WBA, IBO and IBF belts against Alvarez in the bout at the T-Mobile Arena.
But the match was controversially deemed too close to call, with the judges declaring a split draw at the end of 12 rounds despite Golovkin appearing to be the dominant force throughout the match.

The scores declared by the judges were: 118-110 (Alvarez), 115-113 (Golovkin) and 114-114.
Golovkin wants a rematch after being denied a 38th straight win of his unbeaten career.
The controversial scorecard of judge Adalaide Byrd, who favoured Alvarez 118-110, sparked outrage on social media.
Bryd gave Golovkin just two rounds of the fight - the fourth and seventh - with the other 10 going to Alvarez.
Golovkin mostly occupied the centre of the ring, while Alvarez was more comfortable near the ropes, content for the most part to counterpunch.
California-based Golovkin, widely known by his nickname 'Triple G', had an edge in jabs, but neither fighter could deliver a knockout.
The result leaves Golovkin with a 37-0-1 career record, while Alvarez is 49-1-2, his only loss coming against Floyd Mayweather in 2013.
Golovkin, 35, also said he wanted a rematch, but the draw means he will hold on to his belts.
It marks Golovkin's 19th title defence, which puts him just one shy of the all-time division record held by Bernard Hopkins.
Golovkin's promoter, Tom Loeffler of K2 Promotions, is hoping that it doesn't take another two years to put the rematch together.
“There is no question that Gennady won the fight,” said Loeffler. “Because the world was watching and the media was covering, this time, what happens in Vegas won’t stay in Vegas. Saturday’s HBO replay will show that. There are no issues to doing a rematch. I just hope it takes Canelo and Golden Boy less time to do it than it did to make this fight. Enough drama, let’s get them back into the ring. Gennady is a true champion. He runs from no one.”
