Video: Canelo Álvarez and Óscar de la Hoya said everything to each other and they almost came to blows :: Olé

Canelo Alvarez starred in a tense moment with Oscar de la hoya during a press conference in which the Mexican champion was discussing the next fight Saturday, May 4 at the T Mobile Arena in Las Vegas against Jaime Munguía, his compatriot. There, the man from Guadalajara will put into play four WBC, WBA, WBO and IBF super middleweight championships. De la Hoya and Álvarez are former partners of the Golden Boy Promotions, and since Canelo’s departure from the promoter in 2020 (there was an accusation for alleged fraud), the relationship became tense and the last press conference left it exposed. What did they say?

“To be clear, I have no respect for Canelo or his career, because he has spent the last few months insulting me in the promotion of this fight, but that does not change the fact that Golden Boy changed the reality of Saúl Canelo Álvarez, so you can have a little damn respect for that”De la Hoya shot. “For this idiotic attempt by people that I have here to my left, don’t forget that I already came as Canelo Álvarez to the United States and that he only profited from my name, he never lost a single cent, he just made money. “Have you already paid Golovkin what you wanted to steal from him? The only thing this man does is be a scourge of boxing and steal from boxers.”Canelo retorted.

It is not the first time that a crossfire has occurred between the Mexican multi-time champion and the promoter. In May 2022, Canelo fought the Russian Dmitry Bivol in Las Vegas and was defeated on points (115-113)was left without the 175-pound semi-fullweight title endorsed by the World Boxing Association (WBA), and also cut a nine-year undefeated record. Before and after the fight, De La Hoya raised several questions about whoever was his sponsor. “The fight wasn’t close, it really wasn’t. I’m going to have to be honest with you. It was a domination by Bivol. I have Canelo winning four rounds of twelve rounds”he launched after that tough defeat, among many other criticisms he made not only about the fight itself, but also about the boxer’s physical condition.

During the Qatar World Cup 2022, Canelo had several outbursts. The most controversial was against 10 of the Argentine National Teamafter the albiceleste victory against Mexico by 2 to 0 (Messi opened the scoring). The boxer retaliated on his social networks and targeted Leo. “They saw Messi cleaning the floor with our shirt and flag… I pray to God that I don’t find him… just as I respect Argentina, Mexico has to respect, I’m not talking about the country, I’m talking about Messi for the blowjob he gave “, wrote. Finally, Canelo realized his mistake and offered his apologies, both to the Argentine star and to all the people..
