Alvarez fought like a man without urgency or threat and Bivol, an unbeaten light heavyweight world champion simply stuck to the most basic of boxing skills. He is a warrior and he has a great trainer like Eddy Reynoso, so I think he has too much for Bivol, who is not a real puncher. Nevertheless, Eubank (32-2) would surely jump at the chance to test himself against Canelo and, alongside his coach and all-time boxing great Roy Jones Jr, he would bring additional star quality to any build-up. It’s fight night. We’ve got a great title fight on our hands on Saturday night at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo vs Plant final pre-fight press conference is on Wednesday, November 3 at MGM Grand Garden Arena - Event Level. Canelo Promotions will have its next boxing event on Saturday, May 7th at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. I've said in the past that Bivol does have a chance and he does, he really does, but what he needs to do is stay off the ropes. And if does leave, does he go to PBC or stay as a free agent? If you don't stay off the ropes it could be night night for Bivol.
I mean, people are really excited - yeah, to see Canelo, whether he can stay mentally and physically on top as he has been. Alvarez has been a top fighter in boxing for years. Or you can bet on either fighter to get knocked down. Before the action starts there’s still plenty of time to get your bets in, and today we’ll be taking a look at the odds and our predictions. Sure, there was a bit of judging justice in Las Vegas late on Saturday night, but it was still too close for comfort. It is far from the end for Canelo, who is still only 31. It is only the second time in 61 fights that he has lost. Diaz is an accomplished fighter and held the IBF super featherweight world title less than a year ago, before he lost it on the scale before his fight against Shavkat Rakhimov. This comes after the news of Canelo (56-1-2, 38 KOs) pulling out of his September 18th fight date that he’d been trying to salvage against WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. Sure, Canelo mixed his attacks, went for the arms, the chest, but Bivol never rushed his work.
“I believed I could do it,” said Bivol. You'll achieve nothing. I believed. “I’ve bent most of the world to my will and done it with nothing but passion and skill,” he tweeted. The fearless Canelo will seemingly take on any challenge, even against fighters in higher weight classes - this week claiming he would step into the ring with heavyweight world champion Oleksandr Usyk. There was no panic in the Las Vegas ring, but there should have been from Canelo after about round six or seven. Golovkin would have to get a big offer and probably a lot more concession from the Canelo side than the Canelo side will want to make. He has a lot of boxing skills, but the way he says bad things, that’s not my way of promoting fights. And Alvarez has said that he is now taking this rivalry very personally, saying at an open workout yesterday: “It’s new for me to have this much bad blood with an opponent.
Love is seemingly on the cusp of stardom and being placed in the co-main will only help enhance his profile should he have a good outing here tonight. Dmitry Bivol has been clinging on to his WBA title for a while, but it looks like that’s going to come to an end tonight. Canelo completed unifying the major titles at super-middleweight in 2021. He defeated Britain’s Callum Smith in December 2020 to claim the WBC and WBA titles, then stopped another Briton Billy Joe Saunders in May 2021 to add the WBO title. Super-middleweight world champion Alvarez is set to defend his WBC, WBA and WBO titles against Caleb Plant. But according to Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn, this has not dissuaded the unified super-middleweight world champion from taking the rematch, which is set to take place after his third fight against Gennady Golovkin in September. Bivol is a good fighter, but I would side with Canelo in that fight. I don't think that Canelo can be beat by the guys he's being matched up against. That’s me being kind, by the way. His career started in the saw-dust pits of Mexican boxing when he was just a kid of fifteen; a kid fighting for pesos in 2005 and now he rules the business.
