At Saturday’s bout at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, 33-year-old Mexican Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will defend his super-middleweight championships against 27-year-old Mexican Jaime Munguia.
Boxing expert Claudia Trejos discusses Canelo’s potential future in her BBC Sport column, where she also anticipates the battle for the undisputed title and speculates on his future after what is likely the conclusion of his career.
Real appreciation for Saul “Canelo” Alvarez might not come till after he retires.
Many people pay close attention to his every move and opponent selection. But you should see his record to see who he has defeated.
His redemption will come from the pages of history, and it’s tragic that not everyone appreciates his skill, perseverance, and accomplishments in the present.
Although Canelo is a household name around the world, his polarized fan base, especially among Mexicans, was on full display during Tuesday’s Las Vegas grand arrivals.
