- May 12, 2017
Preview: Canelo Alvarez (48-1-1, 34 KOs) and Julio Cesar Chavez Jr . This fight was different because I was able to show how quick I can pop my opponent with a hook. Alvarez , 26, is the lineal Middleweight and WBO Junior Middleweight champion who , despite a blemish on his record against Floyd Mayweather, is virtually one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world, so it was no surprise that he outclassed Chavez Jr.as he did tonight.
