Meanwhile, the No. 3-ranked pound-for-pound fighter on the planet, SaulCanelo Alvarez, has opted to make a huge jump for his next operation, moving to light heavyweight to take on WBO champion SergeyKrusher Kovalev on November 2 in T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo has started coming back in +325, despite tacking 15 pounds from his last departure.
I am quite surprised to observe the chances in favor of the lineal and WBA, WBC middleweight winner given??the simple fact that he is jumping two weight classes. This line is identical to Canelos??final struggle with Daniel Jacobs if the Mexico native won through decision and shut as a -500 chosen.
This isnt the first time weve seen Canelo leap a weight course and a talent to collide because his middleweight debut came from Gennady Golovkin at 2017, a struggle that ended in a draw. Last December, Alvarez fought Rocky Fielding at super middleweight (168 pounds) and ceased the Brit at the next round by human body shots.
Krusher Kovalev has been an underdog at February in the rematch against Eleider Alvarez for the WBO heavyweight title. The Russia native dropped to Alvarez (maybe not Canelo) in August of this past season by seventh-round TKO however avenged that loss with a unanimous-decision triumph earlier this year. Ahead of this February bout, the other times he had been an underdog in recent memory came to Andre Ward in his two losses, in the rematch in 2017 and 2016.
A true bout here as we did see Canelo battle at super middleweight plus he exhibited power to the own body of Fielding, but were adding another seven pounds. Canelo will need to maintain his pace with the additional weight he will carry to capitalize on his counter-striking.
Meanwhile, you dont get known Krusher and that is what you receive with Kovalev. Of his 34 specialist wins, 29 have come by knockout, including a few of the last four. The Russian does tend to absorb a great deal of strikes in their own fights and doesnt have any trouble eating punches to close the distance and allow his hands fly like Canelo against a opponent.
This ought to be a really intriguing and enjoyable struggle. How I see it, even if Canelo wants to win, he remains on the outside, with his own elusiveness??and counters to get in, hit on the human body and get outside to acquire a determination,??while Kovalev will want to mirror the Mexico native and set him to sleep.
Prediction: Canelo Alvarez (-450) via conclusion
