Recently the podcast Let’s Go brought together two of the best in their respective sports. On the one hand the GOAT of the NFL Tom Brady, and on the other the Mexican Canelo Álvarez, considered one of the best boxers of the last 10 years.
Brady and Álvarez met by sharing a passion that unites them: Golf. Since then they have met in several tournaments and a couple of days ago they had a chat via video call for the aforementioned podcast, a few days before Canelo’s fight against Jermell Charlo. .
In this talk Brady took the opportunity to praise the Mexican boxer. For his discipline and for everything he represents as an athlete for his country.
“I love watching you fight. “You are an impressive competitor, a true champion, humble, hard-working, who does great things for his community, and who represents Mexico very well,” Brady told Canelo.
Brady then continued to highlight Canelo’s abilities in his sport. “Every time you go into the ring you do it with professionalism. I think that people who are professionals in what they do, love to see you fight, because you are trying to give your best, and true competitors bring out the best in themselves, and you never disappoint in that,” concluded the winner of seven NFL titles.
The man from Guadalajara thanked him for the praise and returned his words of admiration. “Thank you for your words, I appreciate them very much. I always try to do my best and it works for me, because when you are disciplined and you know the key to keep winning, and be loyal to your team, and always be disciplined with your family, in the gym and everything, I think you are going to get good results. I really appreciate that you see me fight, because you are also a great athlete and for me it is an honor,” Canelo commented.
The former NFL player made it clear that he is a big fan of boxing. It is a sport that he explained that he has a certain degree of difficulty that makes him admire it. “I love boxing. There are sports like boxing, American football or hockey where there is an element of self-discipline where you have to train very hard so that you don’t get hurt. There are many sports that are not contact sports, and if you don’t train hard, you lose the game. But if you don’t train hard in boxing, you’re going to receive physical punishment,” he explained.
And it is precisely that discipline and that physical difficulty that Brady admires about Canelo. “When you see someone at the top of a contact sport like that, I also see the degree of commitment they have to their sport, and Canelo made it very clear that discipline is very important, even if everything seems very natural,” he concluded.
