MOSCOW, Sep 17, Oleg Bogatov.Mexican middleweight boxer Saul Alvarez has a higher chance of winning a title fight with Gennady Golovkin, but the Kazakhstani will enter the ring more «hungry», said former undisputed world champion Konstantin Tszyu. The third fight between the rivals will take place on September 17 in Las Vegas . All four of Alvarez's super middleweight titles will be on the line.

And I really want Gena to win convincingly. I think that the fight will be very equal, like the two previous ones. And Gena needs to go out and work at 100 percent. He can win, firstly, due to his striking power, this is one of his main qualities. And the second factor «He will be more hungry for victory. But I'll be honest — Saul's chances of winning are still higher, they can be estimated as 60 percent to 40. No matter how much I root for Gena,» Tszyu said. he is unlikely to fight.The age difference definitely does not play in Gena's favor, but if he has the motivation to win, then you need to go out and work to the maximum.If he has such motivation, then this will be his advantage.And if not, then everything will work out in the other direction,» the agency's interlocutor added.
