But it's possible that Plant, an aggressive boxer known for his quick feet and combinations, might be subliminally goading Alvarez into being more of a bull to his matador under the thinking that a less patient Alvarez can be countered more easily. You can play games or do a puzzle, or simply relax for hours on end with a good book. Seeing Alvarez become this dangerous of a fighter -- one who can outbox you just as easily as finishing you off with one punch -- is a testament to his work ethic and hunger. It’s currently unknown who his opponent will be, but it will surely be a spectacular event nonetheless. Holding a professional record of 56-1-2, it’s easy to see why Alvarez remains at the top of the fighting world. For Canelo, it’s the biggest money fight he’s going to have available if he beats Smith, and by a good bit. Alvarez previously knocked out Callum’s older brother, Liam, in 2016 with Many speculating Callum wanted revenge for the ninth-round knockout, but Alvarez dominated the younger Smith, too. The Mexican great showed no signs of rust after spending 13 months out of the ring, comfortably out-pointing Smith in San Antonio on Saturday night to claim the Liverpudlian’s WBA super-middleweight belt and the vacant WBC title.
If Crawford signs a deal with PBC, Ortiz presents a serious risk to spoiling Crawford's future profitability and marketability, especially if PBC boss Al Haymon is eyeing the dream fight of Crawford vs. Ortiz is arguably the best young fighter who doesn't hold a major belt, and might even have a higher ceiling than Teofimo Lopez, who is currently a champion at lightweight. How might anyone setting a betting line justify Alvarez as high as a -1200 favorite in a four-belt unification fight against an unbeaten champion? “It’s not a big fight. How much: The fight is a sellout, but is available on HBO pay-per-view at a cost of $84.95. Rather than staying in a fancy hotel or spa, cabins are also a great option for people who are seeking a good trip but at a fraction of the cost. Why are sheep the most popular choice, at least for now? The technically-gifted operator has long awaited his opportunity at the big time, and now he may have a chance to prove how good he is. “Because I’m better and I have many abilities.
Canelo stopped Avni Yildirim in a glorified stay-busy fight back in February and has clearly got his career in much better control after he was released from his Golden Boy Boxing and DAZN contracts. First, he dispatched Avni Yildirim before inflicting the first losses of the respective careers of Billy Joe Saunders and Caleb Plant to become undisputed super middleweight king. Saunders took to Twitter to say that he wants to be that “anyone” next year: “@Canelo well done. In fighting now for Casimero’s WBO bantamweight belt, Rigondeaux could set up a rematch with Donaire, whom he took to a decision in 2013 to claim the WBO super-bantamweight belt in New York. Both those fights took place in the 160lb middleweight category but Alvarez hinted on Saturday that Golovkin would have to step up if he wanted the trilogy. Golovkin was himself victorious against Kamil Szeremeta on Friday night, stopping the Pole in the seventh round to defend his IBF middleweight title, and said he wanted a trilogy fight against Alvarez should he beat Smith. Moreover, he was forced to cut ties with popular promoter Eddie Hearn, who guided his career to his first world title, to sign with Top Rank and get the contract signed.
For years, Crawford's logical next step has seemed to be with Premier Boxing Champions, which has all of the top welterweights Crawford has wanted to face since he won a title in the 147-pound division. The boxing world reacts to another explosive finish from Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez as the Mexican cleans up the super-middleweight division - but where does he go from here? Both are talented and undefeated, but they’re not well known by the world at large. Golovkin is the frontrunner, but Alvarez’s options are as plentiful as his overflowing success. This was the most aggressive any Alvarez opponent has been to get in his face and let him know they are for real. “You have to ease into this, I get all of that, but at some point, you have to fight a real boxer, Jake. You know, the whole "don't mess with the bull or you'll get the horns" type deal. Benavidez and Plant have entertained the idea of a bout on social media, but Jose Benavidez Sr., David’s father, said on Instagram that a proposed deal has been rejected. Nearing the conclusion of negotiations for the lucrative bout is a grand present for Alvarez, whose 31st birthday was Sunday.
