| Saul "Canelo" Alvarez |
Saul "Canelo" Alvarez has a big title fight coming up this Saturday, June 18th! Alvarez has been training for this title defense in Big Bear, California, away from his homeland of Mexican, and the paparazzi. The fight will take place in Alvarez's hometown of Guadalajara, Mexico, against British boxer Ryan Rhodes. Big Bear has an altitude of almost 7,000 ft. which took Alvarez 10 - 15 days to get used to. That's no fun - I've experienced that myself! No get-up and go just ain't no fun. Canelo said that a 25-minute run felt like an hour. However, the boxing training camp change was a success, according to Alvarez's c0-manager and co-trainer, as Alvarez is really confident and focused right now. The experienced southpaw Rhodes, has worked hard (10 straight wins) to get another shot at a world title. This could be a very tough fight for Canelo.

Sergio Martinez will defend his middleweight title for the 3rd time on October 1st, against Darren Barker, of England, who is currently undefeated. Martinez's promoter, Lou DiBella, had some trouble just finding a man that would fight! He offered the fight to Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., Daniel Geale (both titleholders) as well as Miguel Cotto, Andy lee and Paul Williams. One day after agreeing to this fight, Martinez signed a new multi-year, multilmillion-dollar promotional contract with DiBella that will last six fights.
Oh boy... Floyd Mayweather Jr. to testify today in a defamation case filed by Manny Pacquiao. Apparently Pacquiao isn't happy about Mayweather accusing him of using performance drugs. Are we surprised?
