Gennady Golovkin is currently enjoying a well deserved rest for the remainder of the year but after his recent loss to Canelo Alvarez in their rematch, who should ‘GGG’ fight next year in 2019? In the meantime, his promoter Tom Loeffler has caused a considerable stir pertaining to a fresh claim surrounding an alleged drug test on Canelo’s side in the recent rematch.
Canelo won the fight back in September after surprising the boxing world with aggressive tactics where he boxed Golovkin on the front foot for large portions in the bout.
Here is what Golokin’s promoter Tom Loeffler is claiming about a scheduled test that he alleges was cancelled for Canelo after the fight:
Jake, Vada scheduled a random test for GGG a week after the fight. I made sure that Canelo was also going to be tested. Next day the random test was cancelled. Strange that it was scheduled then cancelled, maybe Canelo was already in MX eating steaks celebrating his “decision” https://t.co/HTrzBNiOYm

Talks of a possible third fight between the two boxers will only be helped by the above, no doubt.
Here’s what fight fans are saying to the new claim:
Goodness me Tom… have respected you, GGG and team for so long an amazing group- BUT this Canelo bashing must come to an end.. it’s not professional, lacks sportsmanship it’s starting to tarnish so many amazing memories, be humble and move onwards and upwards for everyone’s sake

So everyone should bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich and ignore what really goes on in this seedy business??

Loeffler has been embarrassing himself and coming off like the ultimate sore loser. Canelo took all the tests is enrolled in year round testing, fought your guy Mexican Style like you cried for, and it was GGG who tapped out a Mexican Style fight and got walked down and his face

Except GGG didn’t lose really in either fight

Hence why @Vada_Testing won’t congratulate Canelo me and my tweeps were on to this weeks ago

how on earth could that possibly be deemed “random” if Loeffler “made sure”. Thats not the way its supposed to work. Just ask Tiger Woods and Vijay Singh…..

broken. You approved the judges before the fight and been crying about the decision in every interview and daily in social media now you blaming drugs for why GGG refused to go to the body and backed up when his own trainer yelled at him. Excuse after excuse from team Triple BS
