I can&#8217;t say it&#8217;s showing a performance.<\/p>\n<p>Canelo&#8217;s hand speed and counter-punching ability give him a better chance of defeating Beterbiev than Bivol. Last Saturday night we saw how Anthony Yard successfully checked Beterbiev for repeated left hooks and uppercuts.<\/p>\n<p>These punches are one of Canelo&#8217;s favorite weapons, and he has a chance to hit them more often against Beterbiev than against Yarde.<\/p>\n<p>Most people feel that Canelo shouldn&#8217;t waste his time fighting Vivol again. Canelo is a novice compared to Bivol, and that won&#8217;t change in his seven months through September.<\/p>\n<p>Even if Canelo loses to Beterbiev, there won&#8217;t be much backlash against him as he&#8217;s facing one of the best fighters in the 175-pound division.<\/p>\n<p>If Canelo were to beat Beterbiev, it would be a huge achievement and fans would pour buckets of praise over his head.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Callum Smith will fight in Liverpool on March 11th. That will be announced early next week,&#8221; Eddie Hahn told Matchroom Boxing. &#8220;It&#8217;s an interesting dynamic at light heavyweight. We have Callum Smith, Joshua Buatsi and Dmitry Bivol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrank Warren has Anthony Yard. Bob Arum has Artur Beterbiev. Ultimately, the match everyone wants to see is Artur Beterbiev versus Dmitry Bivol.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNext to Beterbiev is Callum Smith. Alvarez wants a match with Dmitry Bivol, he wants revenge, it could be 168.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven the undisputed championship could be 168. Dmitry was able to fight for the 175 undisputed championship soon afterwards. Thanks to I think it&#8217;s one of the best fights in boxing, can&#8217;t wait to see it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/news.google.com\/__i\/rss\/rd\/articles\/CBMiVmh0dHBzOi8vd3d3LmJveGluZ25ld3MyNC5jb20vMjAyMy8wMi9zaG91bGQtY2FuZWxvLWFsdmFyZXotZmlnaHQtYXJ0dXItYmV0ZXJiaWV2LW5leHQv0gEA?oc=5\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] To Sam Voltz: Canelo Alvarez should choose to head in the direction of three-belt light heavyweight champion Arthur Beterbiev in September rather than revisit<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":13178,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"rop_custom_images_group":[],"rop_custom_messages_group":[],"rop_publish_now":"initial","rop_publish_now_accounts":[],"rop_publish_now_history":[],"rop_publish_now_status":"pending","_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-13177","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-boxing-mma-combat-sports","two-columns"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Canelo-GGG-311-Boxing-Photos.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13177","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=13177"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/13177\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13178"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=13177"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=13177"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/atswins.ai\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=13177"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
