The great Canelo Alvarez will be back in action later tonight (Sat., May 8, 2021) live on DAZN from inside AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Tex., as the WBA (Super), WBC, and The Ring super middleweight champion takes on undefeated WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders in a highly-anticipated main event.
Alvarez, who will be fighting for the third time since Dec. 2020, is coming off a masterful TKO performance over WBC title challenger Avni Yildirim (highlights HERE). Before that, Canelo knocked off Callum Smith via unanimous decision to claim the super middleweight titles he currently possesses. The Mexican champion has looked like an unstoppable force of nature of late and plans to keep things moving as he further cements is status as one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the sport today, if not the best.
Saunders, 31, will be coming into this fight as a sizeable underdog, but has all the skills to give Canelo a real run for his money. The undefeated southpaw fighter captured his WBO super middleweight strap back in 2019 and has recorded two-straight defenses since then. Saunders is a serviceable champion who will possess a small height and reach advantage over Alvarez so maybe that will come into play.
