On Saturday, July 12, 2012, Mexican sensation Saul “Canelo” Alvarez will step into the squared circle as he faces Erislandy Lara in a non-title Light Middleweight showdown. Canelo rebounded nicely from his lopsided defeat against Floyd Mayweather Jr. by manhandling tough opponent Alfredo Angulo in his last fight. Now, he faces another stiff test in the form of Lara, a slippery southpaw and Olympic gold medalist. Canelo is the massive favorite here, and for good reason, but Lara’s unorthodox style and surprising power make him a potential matchup nightmare. Can Canelo get back some of his luster with a second straight win, or will Lara derail the Alvarez hype train for good? Tune in on pay per view to find out!
