After Mexican star, the present face of boxing, Canelo Alvarez offers with Edgar Berlanga, as virtually everybody feels would be the case on September 14 in Las Vegas, the massive query can be – who subsequent for Canelo? And at this present second in time, it’s not an particularly straightforward query to reply.
Canelo we all know is not going to give us the combat we would like, and have needed for thus lengthy, this a combat towards David Benavidez. So what WILL Canelo give us subsequent? As quite a few people have identified, Canelo doesn’t have too many apparent worthy opponents at 168 kilos proper now.
As such, and fairly amazingly, Chris Eubank Jr is in with an actual shot at touchdown a combat with Canelo subsequent 12 months. Overlook that Eubank has achieved nothing to earn the possibility. Talking of a man who has earned a shot at Alvarez, WBC and Ring Journal NO1 ranked tremendous middleweight Christian Mbilli is looking for the following go at Canelo.
Canelo we all know just isn’t too bothered about holding onto his assortment of belts, with the 34 12 months previous not too long ago vacating his IBF belt as a result of he wasn’t in any respect desirous about combating the man on the prime of the IBF pile (this being William Scull).
However as Mbilli’s promoter Camile Estephan mentioned when talking with Ring.TV.com, “who else if not Mbilli?” Estephan mentioned he really believes Mbilli, 28-0(23) and coming off a one-sided win over the more durable than robust Sergey Derevyanchenko, can beat Canelo. “It’s apparent he ought to combat Canelo,” Estephan mentioned of Mbilli.
29 12 months previous Mbilli of France believes it too. Estephan mentioned if the combat befell in Canada, an enormous area could be required, however that he doesn’t assume Canelo will conform to combat Mbilli in Canada – “[not] the primary one anyway – if we beat him we’ll give him a rematch, we’ll have it right here,” he mentioned.
Mbilli just isn’t solely a worthy Canelo foe, the all-action Frenchman can be a lot enjoyable to look at, an actual fan-favourite. Mbilli, who throws so many punches he could make an opponent really feel as if he had been caught in a blizzard, has additionally proven a chin, nice stamina, and a few severe starvation and want.
It received’t be Benavidez subsequent for Canelo, it shouldn’t in any manner be Eubank Jr, so who else can it’s however Mbilli? Diego Pacheco has been talked about and the unbeaten contender is looking for a go at Canelo. However Mbilli is unquestionably the most effective, the obvious subsequent problem for Canelo.
Alvarez has needed to hearken to numerous criticism from followers who strongly really feel he has flat-out ducked Benavidez. If the drum will get banged sufficient for a combat with Mbilli, with Mbilli remaining unbeaten and by no means stopping calling Canelo out, the Mexican warrior will certainly not let followers down once more……will he?
