Heavyweight Frank Sanchez should probably fight someone better than a long-faded Nagy Aguilera next if he wants to be taken seriously right now as a heavyweight contender, but in all reality that might be more for the TV commentators and hype men promoters. Older leaves are better when boiled. Canelo Alvarez's next opponent will be British fighter Rocky Fielding, as the pair are set to square off at super middleweight on December 15 at Madison Square Garden. Plant is looking to understand how to be the best super middleweight, and Ward is the perfect teacher. Canelo Alvarez has officially announced he will fight Caleb Plant for the undisputed WBA, WBC, IBF and WBO super-middleweight world titles. “I’m not so sure that Canelo will be fighting at cruiserweight or against Makabu,” Coppinger said on ESPN's State of Boxing. Caleb Plant live round-by-round updates for one of the top boxing fights of the year. He’s thrown curveballs before; no one expected him to fight Amir Khan in 2016, and for a more challenging surprise, no one expected him to move up to light heavyweight and fight Sergey Kovalev in 2019. Canelo has said he’s comfortable and wants to stay at 168 right now, but if Plant passes, the options get really limited at that weight, definitely limited for a desired September return date.
MikeCoppinger broke down @Canelo’s options on @ESPNPlus State of Boxing. Canelo hasn’t been on a standard, traditional pay-per-view since his controversial 2018 rematch with Gennadiy Golovkin, which was HBO’s last big boxing event. It took Canelo eleven rounds to knock Plant down. Stepping into this championship bout, Plant had started to look a lot like the one to finally dethrone Alvarez; however, the underdog couldn’t prove the masses wrong as boxing’s pound-for-pound king walked him down and knocked him out in round 11. Not even two weeks after his third bout this year, it seems Alvarez now has his eyes set on a new, massive and crazy goal. If nothing goes wrong against Davis next weekend, he’s a real contender to land the fight. ESPN’s boxing reporter Mike Coppinger said Monday that the Canelo and Charlo camps are in talks to make the fight happen. Saul "Canelo" Alvarez promised to finish the previously undefeated Billy Joe Saunders and get one step closer to becoming the first undisputed super middleweight champion in boxing history. Hi Lance: Do you see Triller as a potential force in broadcasting terms for boxing or just a wild card?
“He can’t force somebody to fight that doesn’t want to fight. “He really doesn’t care, because he can only do what he can do,” Charlo’s trainer Ronnie Shields said in June. There are big fights in the pipeline for Haney against the likes of Lopez, Davis and Garcia and he can make a statement with an impressive victory against Linares. If a card aired live on DAZN in your country, you can also find a full replay on-demand on the streaming service, as well as shorter highlights videos. DAZN is a global live streaming and subscription service that is dedicated to sports. “It only makes sense because we’re in an era to where people want to be entertained,” Usman told DAZN over the phone Tuesday evening about a potential mega bout with the Mexican superstar. Here are the events that have taken place on DAZN in 2021, including a full fight card report of the action. This post will help explain which fights are airing where and at which times. Plant’s jabs are coming into effect now but he is unable them with much. “I’m hearing that it’s much more likely that he’s going to fight Jermall Charlo on Cinco de Mayo.
Although Bivol is the title holder, Alvarez is undoubtedly the main attraction in the Cinco de Mayo holiday weekend event. The 31-year-old's opponent Bivol (19-0, 11 KO) came in at 174.6 lbs for the defence of his WBA title. He got the big fight he’s longed for and came up short. The boxers got into an ugly punching exchange during a stare-down at a news conference on Tuesday at the Beverly Hilton hotel. That finally got this crowd out of its seats. Soto simply has not had less than a really good world title fight of the five he’s been involved in, and Kyoguchi showed some vulnerability against a strong, tough guy in Axel Aragon Vega last time out. I don’t know if I have any problem to fight Canelo, and I would like to say, good luck to Canelo for coming to the cruiserweight division. On that note, don’t completely forget about WBA light heavyweight titlist Dmitry Bivol, who just fought on May 1, is with Matchroom, and has repeatedly expressed his willingness to move down to super middleweight for a Canelo fight. Canelo made history with the latest of his ever-growing collection of accomplishments, becoming the first-ever undisputed super middleweight champion in history - and the first-ever undisputed champion across any weight from Mexico.
