Undisputed super middleweight champion Mexican Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) intends to compete for all light heavyweight titles soon. The first in line for Canelo is the owner of the WBA Super belt, Russian Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs) - the fight will take place in May in Las Vegas (USA), according to bbabo.net.
Meanwhile, DAZN streaming experts discussed the Mexican's chances in a potential fight with light heavyweight champion Russian unified world champion Artur Beterbiev (17-0, 17 KOs) during the Ak & Barak show.
AK: "You know what I've never seen? For someone to try to attack Beterbiev's body. It's no secret that this is the best way to slow down an opponent. And no one throws left hooks to the body like Canelo does. I agree that first you need to deliver such a blow, but it could not only slow down Beterbiev, but also make him less furious. Nobody says that it will be easy to do. On the contrary, we all consider this an extremely difficult fight. Puncher Beterbiev will constantly press. But we We often say that in this sport, skills rule, and Canelo, due to his skills, may well beat Arthur.
Barak: "Do you think Gennady Golovkin's punch is lighter than Beterbiev's? I'm sure it's at least on the same level. For example, I remember exactly how Abel Sanchez claimed that Golovkin's punch was stronger than Sergei Kovalev's. And we're talking about that version of Crusher where he knocked out everyone in his path, so if we assume that Beterbiev's punches are no stronger than Golovkin's, then we can remember how Canelo fought Kazakhstani. And he never shocked him. "
Sergio Mora: "I still think that Beterbiev hits harder than Kovalev and Golovkin. There is something unexplored in his power. Very heavy fists. This power is really just scary. And he does not focus only on punches to the head."
Recall that Canelo will meet with Bivol on May 7 in Las Vegas, and on September 17, the Mexican is scheduled to trilogy with GGG. Their first fight in 2017 did not reveal the strongest, and a year later Alvarez won by a judicial decision.
Golovkin, in turn, on April 9 in Japan will hold a unification fight against WBA super champion Ryota Murata (16-2, 13 KOs).
