Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez v Avni Yildirim

[TonnnnUK]

No one expected much from Yildirim. He didnt disapoint?

Onto the positives. We got to see Canelo fight relatively quickly after dismantling Smith. Who cares who it was? Lets be grown up about it and acknowledge that he isn't going to fight Smith, then Saunders, then Plant, then Bivol. There will be some 'obligatory' fights in between. It's always been that way, pretending it was ever any different is daft.

I'm loving the way Canelo works at the moment. Everything is thrown with force and full of spite. Funny how going back to the GGG fights there stamina question marks. Now, he's throwing bomb after bomb and there's no let up.

The Zhang Forrest fight was brilliant, proper drama.

Agree with all this....Canelo is the most active champion around, and people are always moaning about who he fights!

People need to aim their frustrations at the ABC bodies for making fighters of the calibre of Yildrim as the mandatory for the title! Canelo is going about his business making defences and going after big names up and down divisions. What's not to like?

He's clearly at the peak of his powers right now....and if he keeps in shape and fighting regularly the names and wins on his resume could be seriously seriously impressive.
Saunders, Plant, Benavidez, Charlo, Bivol?, Beterbiev?....

And also agree Zhang-Forest was a fun watch!!
