"I literally have a missed call from Dubai, I have a missed call from the (United Kingdom), where Anthony Joshua and (Wladimir) Klitschko just sold out (a) 90,000-seat stadium, so there's interest from all over the world", de la Hoya said. "Everybody was saying, 'Why are you afraid of Triple G? It's nearly like he's a little kid", he said.
After the fight, Chavez didn't have much to offer, saying: "Speed and distance was a problem".
"Yes, there's a real, true rivalry, and on Saturday night, people are going to see firsthand this rivalry, how real it is".

"I could have done better but I hurt my hand after round two", Lemieux said. "I love boxing", he said.
Almost every round started the same: Canelo Alvarez striking first with a heavy dose of power punches to the body.
"My fans know that I started from nothing, from the bottom up, from zero, and have worked my way up with a lot of sweat and sacrifices". "But I think if you have a Mexican fighter in the ring - especially two Mexican fighters - you're guaranteed fireworks".
