Canelo Alvarez and Erislandy Lara are kicking off fight week with their grand arrivals at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV on Tuesday.
This will be Golden Boy’s first major promotion since the De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer split. Oscar made sure he was present at the arrivals and seemed to want everyone to know that he is more involved in the day to day fight operations now.
The build up to the fight will show a lot regarding the future of Golden Boy Promotions as a company.
As far as the fighters were concerned, Canelo played to his hoards of fans while Lara agitated Canelo at every turn. The bad blood between these two fighters may very well spill over before Saturday, but if not the fight itself is guaranteed to be a slugfest due to the emotions running at this high level.
