Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will defend his WBC and WBA world super-middleweight titles against Avni Yildirim at Hard Rock Stadium in Florida on 27 February.
The Mexican added the WBA belt to his collection in a stylish win over Britain's Callum Smith in December.
The 30-year-old has lost just once in 57 bouts and will start a heavy favourite against Turkey's Yildirim.
"Avni Yildirim is a good boxer and we will put on an exciting fight," said Alvarez, a four-weight world champion.
"I'm very glad that we are able to bring this event to Miami, a short distance from where my hero, Muhammad Ali, trained."
Yildirim, 29, has 21 wins from 23 bouts having lost to American Anthony Dirrell and Britain's Chris Eubank Jr.
His last bout - the loss to Dirrell - was in February of 2019 and his last win came in September 2018.
The bout will be the first of a two-fight deal where Alvarez - boxing's best-paid fighter - will work with British promoter Eddie Hearn.
Hearn also promotes Britain's Billy Joe Saunders, who holds the WBO belt in the 168lbs super-middleweight division.
Alvarez and 31-year-old Saunders have been linked with facing one another for over a year.
"Even in a pandemic, Saul is looking to be more active than ever and in his plan to be undisputed champion he must overcome his mandatory challengers to keep his belt," said Hearn.
"Yildirim is the first of those challenges who will be attempting to dethrone the king."

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
We all know this is a "nothing fight." Even Canelo's team admits as such. It's a foregone conclusion. That's not the point here.
The point is THIS:
It may have gone unnoticed to most... but I can't help but noticing how this is going to be only the second time in his career that Canelo ventures outside the friendly confines of the Vegas-Texas-Southern Cal triangle to fight somebody. The first time was against the "DANGEROUS" Rocky Fielding. No bought/corrupt judges needed... no "homefield advantages"... only THEN does Canelo peek his head outside Camp Canelo.
If this was any more obvious, it would be plastered on billboards all across the country.

This fight is ridiculous.
Fight BJS or Plant asap.
Floyd schooled Canelo.
He was old and past it and boxed his ears off!
TBE.

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Canelos last fight was poo, smith was disappointing
maybe the short notice although he looked like he could have lost to john ryder also, maybe theres no motivation

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Only the little punk nationalist Canelosexuals buy into this sort of mess. We all know this is another euro level creampuff to pad records. Maybe dayzin can have another pizza patron deal for the casuals.
Like Tim "Short Bus Head" Bradley said, Yildirim is nothing more than a heavy bag to practice combinations.
Two fights back this guy fought a guy with a 3-31 record. Seriously

Floyd didn't school Canelo. He won the fight. No question. But he never hurt Canelo. Never looked stopping him. Floyd was 100% focused for the full 12. No playin.
Fury - Wilder, that's a schooling. Mayweather Gatti, That's a schooling. Schooling is when you make it look like they dont belong in the ring with you.

Negative.
Floyd didn't school Canelo. He "university-ed" him. Schooling is child's play compared to what Floyd did to Canelo. If "schooling" means you should've never gotten in the ring with the other guy..... then "university-ing" means you should've slapped anyone who even suggested you get in the ring with the other guy.
Canelo missed most of his punches by at least a foot. The only reason he got the fight in the first place is because he was the undefeated, mega-hyped pretty face of boxing... and fighting the #1 p4p was the next "logical" step. The public, mostly the casuals, clamored for the fight... hoping for some miracle so that ginger-haired statues could be erected in Mexico and Vegas (same thing, in boxing).
Floyd TOYED with Canelo. He didn't knock him out because Canelo is MUCH BIGGER than Floyd... and I'll give Ginger that... he's got a great chin.
So no... sorry. In fact, you look up the word "schooling" in the dictionary and it refers you to "university-ing", where you'll promptly be greeted by a picture of the Floyd-Canelo fight.

My personal feeling is that floyd canelo was a lot closer than people made out, yes floyd won but there were rounds where he didnt throw a punch
one early round in particular he threw one landed one, the commentators were all bumming him about it but it was a canelo round

That is true and you have to remember that just two years earlier Canelo was fighting Rhodes and Matthew Hatton, and with all the best will in the world that is some step up. It is also curious how the gap between two dominant fighters is often dictated by the timing of the bout. If the Canelo of now had met Floyd back then it may not have changed the result, but the fight would be completely different.
If he goes on and fights four times this year and stays off the beef then you have to admire the progression.
It is not just better fight plans, the guy has far more tools in his arsenal. Patience being the most devastating.

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
yeah the timing of the floyd canelo fight was everything in how it went and canelo is a completely different fighter now and much better to boot
Jamie Moore was involved in the greatest fight of all time when he knocked out Matthew Macklin but at no time has Jamie ever suggested he beat a peak Macklin, he has said a number of times on sky sports that Matt was on the way up and ended up at world title challenger level, probably should have won a world title against sturn which is a step further than Jamie went
But how often do you think you would ever hear Mayweather admit Canelo was on the way up? far from his peak?
when being frank the Canelo the fought mayweather wouldnt hear the final bell against the canelo of today
-
Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Oh boy... I can see we're getting carried away here.
People are talking as if Canelo was a 15-0 rising star, still a little wet behind the ears.
Canelo had 43 professional fights when he fought Floyd!! That is more than a full career for many fighters.
So please stop with the "Canelo was still on his way up" nonsense.
To see that followed with "Mayweather wouldn't hear the final bell against the Canelo of today" is even more mind-blowing.
Really??
Can we mention that Canelo is now a full-blown 168-pounder (when he isn't sneaking up to 175 or down to 160 to pick off gimpy zebras) with the chin of a light heavyweight?
Shit. This would be Canelo-Khan all over again.
I can see this legend bullshit morphing and getting a life of its own. Won't be long before TBE talk starts floating around. :vd:

Oops sorry... I misunderstood. But to answer your question, no. Of course he's improved. He'd almost have to, given the additional fight experience.
I'm not sure I'd go as far as saying the Canelo of that day wouldn't make the final bell against the Canelo of today. Today's Canelo would win... no doubt. But I don't think his progression has been all that. Honestly.
I think most of it has been calculated match-making (my forever beef with Canelo's career)... and maybe settling into a weight he should've been at long ago. He held off on Golovkin until he felt Golovkin had begun his decline.
But in all honesty Canelo could've faced Golovkin two years before. That's when the "marinating" B.S. first got coined.

Beautiful post.
You never mentioned the PEDS though.
Canelo is a good fighter but we don’t know how many fights he legitimately won whilst off the PEDS.
Floyd was also much smaller, dodgy hands and way out of his prime at an aging 37 years old.
Floyd is a genius in the ring.
BJS has to beat Canelo like Floyd as he’s not knocking him out.

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Canelo Alvarez names Cotto as most important fight in snub to Golovkin and vows to carry on boxing until he’s 37.
CANELO ALVAREZ has snubbed long-term rival Gennady Golovkin by naming Jose Miguel Cotto as his most important fight.
The pound-for-pound king bounced back from his sole career defeat to Floyd Mayweather to claim the WBC middleweight title over Cotto.
Canelo boxed his way to a twelve-round decision over the Puerto Rican in 2015 but many believe his clashes with GGG to be his most significant.
The Mexican, 30, fought to a contentious draw against Golovkin, 38, in 2017 with several feeling Alvarez was fortunate to avoid defeat.
But in their equally thrilling rematch a year later, Canelo prevailed with another razor thin set of scorecards.
The two have since reportedly held talks over a trilogy fight but the four-weight champion still considers Cotto as his biggest scalp to date.
He told TUDN: "Without a doubt, the most important was when I fought against Miguel Cotto.
"When I beat Miguel Cotto… that was the most important."
SunSport previously reported that Canelo is planning four world title fights this year and wants to unify the super-middleweight division.
He is back in action next month when he fights mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim in Miami and he has also vowed to to carry on boxing until he’s 37.
He told TUDN: "We'll see, but we'll still be being a nuisance in six or seven years' time.
"[Two months between fights] is enough time, to be honest, and I'm very ready to fight.
"I feel very happy, thankful and motivated to go to Miami - a new place for my fights."

Ahh... and yet you equate Floyd losing against 168-pound Canelo with his (cough)... "legend" continuing to grow.
So on the one hand you've got a "David vs Goliath" match not being a great accomplishment... but another "David vs Goliath" match would cause Ginger's (cough) "legend" to grow.
Sounds like you're the one with honesty issues. ;)
Either that, or YDKSAB.

So please stop with the "Canelo was still on his way up" nonsense.
To see that followed with "Mayweather wouldn't hear the final bell against the Canelo of today" is even more mind-blowing.
Really??
Can we mention that Canelo is now a full-blown 168-pounder (when he isn't sneaking up to 175 or down to 160 to pick off gimpy zebras) with the chin of a light heavyweight?
Shit. This would be Canelo-Khan all over again.
I can see this legend bullshit morphing and getting a life of its own. Won't be long before TBE talk starts floating around. :vd:
sounds like you're agreeing that mayweather wouldn't hear the final bell against the canelo of today. the legend continues to grow
:pis2:
your opinion
you went on to say it would be canelo khan all over again. sounds like agreement to me. so not really mind blowing yeh
and you feel canelo beating khan is a great accomplishment yeh. sounds like someones bar is slightly low on accomplishments yeh
i never said canelo beating khan was a great accomplishment. you really need to stop making shit up. you are starting to sound more & more like another proven liar on here
Ahh... and yet you equate Floyd losing against 168-pound Canelo with his (cough)...
"legend" continuing to grow.
So on the one hand you've got a "David vs Goliath" match not being a great accomplishment... but another "David vs Goliath" match would cause Ginger's (cough) "legend" to grow.
Sounds like you're the one with honesty issues. ;)
Either that, or YDKSAB.
mayweather wouldn't hear the final bell against the canelo of today is a statement. the legend continues to grow is another statement. nothing to do with each other
Right. And "your check is in the mail". :rolleyes:
I think I made my point. No need in continuing these useless word games but of course you're welcome to have the last word as usual. ;)
thanks. the legend continues to grow

Point #1:
Uhh... you forgot about the latest development where Canelo now says he won't fight fellow Mexicans.
Pretty convenient and just in the nick of time. ;)
Point #2:
"WBC mandatories" and Canelo Alvarez. Wink, wink... nod, nod...
You honestly think the We Blow Canelo is actually going to name a LIVE mandatory? :cool:

I'd pay top dollar for Chuck Benavidez to start parting his hair on the side and running around in a polo shirt and pressed khakis calling everyone 'Hi ya buddy'. Or an ill fitting track suit and a single gold chain. I mean David Lemieux is even top 5 in Sulaimans syndicate. Haven't seen this many caucasian dudes lined up to be bulldozed since Little Big Horn.

Take it from me... one good look at Chuck's resume and fight videos... and he'd be subjected to DNA samples until they came out Mexican. :D
Where was he born? Phoenix, Arizona you say? Close enough.

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
I have no idea who the opponent is. Is the main guy that drug cheat who hires blind judges to show he is woke?

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Okay, the fighter probably just focuses on posture, waxing, and hair tone. Probably the pimps behind the scenes. Either way, I have no interest in this fight.

this is just a keep busy. canelo just shamed callum, john the gorilla would have put up a better effort & apparently another unbeaten fighter in billy joe is up next in may. canelo can only fight one fight at a time. some of these other fighters need to start fighting each other

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
168 is a shitty division right now, and that works out just perfectly for Canelo. Benavidez is the only credible threat, but he's got Mexican blood in him so....................................
that's where the "I won't fight Mexicans" clause kicks in.
Perfectly timed. ;)

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Zhang fight was pretty fun but he took a worrying amount of damage at the end there, the last round should have been 10-8...ended a draw.

Re: Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim
Had no idea Julio C. Martinez pulled out of this one ???. Not sure how it's still for a title v a TBA on 12 hour notice..*cough wbc..but seems a foregone conclusion for Arroyo. I missed the Zhanger in the fight of his life! ;D
