[Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim - February 27

[FinneysTrueVision]

Just two months after his dominant performance over Callum Smith, Canelo Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) returns to the ring to face Avni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs). This is just getting his mandatory fight out of the way and I don't expect Canelo to have any problems with the Turkish fighter. Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

The fight will take place on February 27 in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium.

LOL, he aligned himself with Matchroom boxing just to get this fight? This is an easy fight for Canelo, a no name fighter, why don't he just wait for the winner of the Caleb fight or chase Billy Joe Saunders? Doesn't make any sense at all.

Anyhow, probably just another busy fight for Canelo before his supposedly return to fight in his native Mexico Cinco de Mayo.

[chaser15]

Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

And that makes him the underdog alongside his stats.

But for Yildirim, it's a dream come true. As he stated, he's been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and it's not about fighting Canelo but the title itself, the WBC world championship belt, the world famous green, and gold belt, the biggest prize in boxing as he claimed.

Let's see if he can surprise the world with an upset although Canelo shouldn't have a problem winning this.

LOL, he aligned himself with Matchroom boxing just to get this fight? This is an easy fight for Canelo, a no name fighter, why don't he just wait for the winner of the Caleb fight or chase Billy Joe Saunders? Doesn't make any sense at all.

It's a mandatory defense title and Canelo can't do something about that.

[TravelMug]

If this is the mandatory so be it, Canelo should have an easy time against Yildirim. And Yildirim is a win-win situation here, Canelo is the cash cow now so he is lucky, like winning a lottery, and then *potentially* upset Canelo.

Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

[Darker45]

This is most probably a walk in the park for Canelo. And I guess he personally sees it this way. Canelo's last fight was just a month ago. He barely had time to take a rest from all the trainings, sparring sessions, and the fight itself and now he's gonna be starting training once again. It can only mean one thing and that is Yildirim is a very easy opponent. He's just a lowly prey in this fight.  

Yildirim's BoxRec account status has not even been updated to active yet. LOL! The man has got nothing to lose and everything to win in this fight. He's got the opportunity to face Canelo. He's got the paycheck. He's got the chance to prove himself. He's already a winner so to speak. But I can see no power in him that would create one extremely lucky punch to knock Canelo out. Which is probably his only chance.

I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

I'm almost certain it is lower than that.

I agree with this, his opponent will be easy for him. I mean can't they find him a worthy opponent? I'm not underestimating Avni Yildirim but this is obviously a mismatch for him. I think this is just for mere entertainment like that of Mayweather fight this year. If he lost to that kind of fighter next month, then that would be a total blowout for him and his career will be in jeopardy after that. Although his opponent is unknown, he should not lower his defense since anything can happen in the ring. He just needs to end this fight as usual.

Not expecting an upset here, of course it can happen, but this version of Canelo I would say in unbeatable. No one can even touch this guy. He is in the prime of his career.

That's what I saying, supposedly to be his toughest opponent, but look what happen, he didn't get any damage and can go active in two months to fight. And at 168 lbs, he will clean up this division whenever he want to.

[GreatArkansas]

Here is boxing records of these two boxers.
Canelo Alvarez which is a mexican boxer got the advantage for the experience in total bouts. I am amazed on the height of Avni Yildirim which this point is his main advantage against Canelo.
I am curious why Canelo Alvarez suspended by Texas Combative Sports Program until  Jan. 21, 2021. I hope this will not affect his upcoming fight against Avni.

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ Just like in MMA, boxers are getting suspended about a fight, minimum 30 days to recover. In case of Canelo though, after his recent fight, he seems to be OK. That's why he was able to get back and fight again after just 2-3 months. Canelo prove that he can overcome height advantage in the Smith fight, so this is nothing surprising to him. This is a golden opportunity for Avni Yildirim, but he doesn't have enough experience against a big hitter like Canelo and he could be knock out here with a clean body shot.

[Ziskinberg]

Probably an easy fight by Canelo, since this fight will happen early this year, we will certainly see more fights to come for Canelo.

Honestly I like a GGG vs Canelo fight, so I'm hoping it will happen this year.
Canelo has been dominating his opponents, it's only on GGG where we see him struggle a bit, and though he won against GGG, people would certainly watch this fight as the trilogy is an awaited one, why? because they are not a boring fighters.

I agree that GGG is the only fighter that can at least give Canelo that problem. However, Canelo said that he won't fight GGG and Canelo will stay at 168 lbs while GGG at 160 lbs.

And yes, this is going to be an easy fight for Canelo, no disrespect to Avni Yildirim and his team, they deserved the fight because he is the mandatory, but Canelo is far more superior fighter than him. I would say that Avni Yildirim is just a B-level fighter.

[robelneo]

Of all fighters in that division, what's with Avni Yildirim he is mauled and knockout by Eubank in this fight

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8J512f1Omhg

After Callum Smith he should be fighting elite boxers not someone like Avni Yildirim, although it's a mandatory defense it will create a big mismatch here and not something that bookers, experts, and bettors want to see.
Upset?? I don't think so Canelo breath greatness and toughness in the ring.

[mu_enrico]

Avni has no chance. His last match was in Feb 2019, surely not sharp enough to face Canelo.

I would say that Avni Yildirim is just a B-level fighter.

Yes, only 21 matches, not close enough to Canelo's level. Easy win for bettors.

Avni has a chance but a very slim chance, but easy win for bettors? I don't know, depending on the betting odds, if the odds is like 1.05 and below, I think I would not bet on this game, 5% is too low as a reward compared to the amount bettors will risk if they want to get a decent profit.

Alvarez would make a quick work of Yildirim, though this is an opportunity for the latter to boost his popularity if he managed to stick into the whole event without getting knocked out and scoring some decent points. This is a low risk high rewards match for Yildirim, but for Alvarez, this is kinda low value and would might get him in a flop if Yildirim managed to do the impossible. People gotta make money, so Alvarez has to accept whatever comes knocking on the front door.

[Sadlife]

An easy fight for Canelo, although the problem is he hasn't even recovered from his previous fight his already fighting another. While Yildrim is way out of his league probably just to increase Canelo's stats he has nothing to lose here since he's fighting a superstar. Although Canelo might quickly dominate the match, just don't underestimate his enemy this should be quick. What im really looking forward to is, his fight against BJS he said he isn't impressed with the current super middle weight.

[Kelvinid]

By looking at their stats, there is no question who gonna win, that obviously be Canelo Alvarez.

I don't think this was a mandatory fight for Canelo, this is a mismatch. This will never give the interest of the crowd and this was an easy play for Him. I was thinking of Canelo and GGG fight again, much more sensible than for Avni.

It is really hard for a starter to fight against a veteran and known hard puncher in the ring. I foresee this fight not lasting for 12 rounds, a knockout will shorten the fight.

[TopTort777]

Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

LOL, sad that Canelo must waste time on that. Even though you should never underestimate your opponent, in this case this does not work. Avni is just having fun, living regular live right now in Germany. Seems that in 2018 he decided to relax for few years, and now he is facing top of the top. Bad idea I predict it will end in less than 4 rounds with TKO (some nasty punch to the liver perhaps).

[pinggoki]

Based on the stats of Canelo Alvarez and Avni Yildirim, Mr. Canelo Alvarez has good stats in which I can say that he has more experience than Avni. If this will be just based on the stats of the both boxers then probably Canelo Alvarez will be the one who will win this match, and it is obvious based on their knockouts I can say that Canelo Alvarez was better than Avni Yildirim, but who knows if Avni will give us a great fight against Canelo this coming February 27.

[qwertyup23]

Some might call me bias but Canelo is without the doubt one of best fighter in the middleweight division.
After his loss with Mayweather last 2017, he learned so much by absorbing all of his mistakes and he transformed into a better fighter. In addition, after his fight with GGG, he just became the undisputed king in his weight division.

With regard with to this fight, I really do think Canelo will win this fight. Still, I would love this match to be an aggressive fight between the two boxers and I would also love a knockout to happen!

[Kelvinid]

...
 but who knows if Avni will give us a great fight against Canelo this coming February 27.

Even though he gives us a great fight but we couldn't think also that Canelo will give, He will give his best shot also as he is defending his built and reputation. We know how Canelo make a clean fight, more aggressive fighter, and most likely, he wanted to win. Not this guy Avni will give a loss for Canelo, in fact, it was not proven yet how good he is just seeing his previous fights while Canelo been on the ring for many years and have big fights.

[plr]

There's going to be a knock out here, Avni Yildirim is very stiff and he has no good defense and he has a weak chin, he'll go down to a fighter like Canelo, I have seen one of his loss coming from Eubank and it's one of the bad losses in his career and Canelo os much better than Eubank to give out a knock out so I expect the fight to end via knock out by Canelo.

[Saisher]

Just two months after his dominant performance over Callum Smith, Canelo Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) returns to the ring to face Avni Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs). This is just getting his mandatory fight out of the way and I don't expect Canelo to have any problems with the Turkish fighter. Yildirim was last active two years ago in a fight that he lost in a controversial decision.

The fight will take place on February 27 in Miami at Hard Rock Stadium.

Canelo is just to good in the ring he is coming out in an impressive wins against Callum Smith, while Yildirim is on a two year lay off, this is a big drop from a caliber of fighter he is facing, there are good fighters waiting a chance to fight Canelo, it will just another fight that will add knock out resume to Canelo, I hope he do it fast because it will be an easy fight for him.

Exactly, Canelo deserved to have a bigger fight, maybe after this one since this one is a mandatory fight.

I love to see big fights before he retires, the only boxer who can match with him is triple G, and Mayweather of course where he was schooled badly.
Mayweather will not come back anymore but Triple G is still active.

Actually, I'm not excited with this fight, I'm excited what's next after this fight.

No your not biased mate, it is what it is, after his lost to Floyd he developed himself to be the best fighter of this generation. He work so hard and so he deserves all the accolades and the money he is getting.

With regard with to this fight, I really do think Canelo will win this fight. Still, I would love this match to be an aggressive fight between the two boxers and I would also love a knockout to happen!

Yes, again, I don't like this fight because it is a going to easy for Canelo, but if Yildirim is the mandatory then I have no complains about it. And Canelo needs this fight to be exciting and he should go for a knockout to please us.

[TravelMug]

Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

That's what I saying, supposedly to be his toughest opponent, but look what happen, he didn't get any damage and can go active in two months to fight. And at 168 lbs, he will clean up this division whenever he want to.

I agree, it seems that Canelo is getting better every fight and I think it has something to do with his coach Reynoso who really took Canelo to the next level and becoming p4p best in the last 2 years.

Well, in paper it look like Callum Smith will be a big threat to Canelo, natural 168 lbs champion with power and has height advantage. Canelo negate everything and win impressively. So yes, this is going to be like  a walk in the park for Canelo and yeah, the odds could be lower than 1.1x, could be 1.0x when the betting odds open. Probably it's best to bet by per round, the odds might be attractive at least.

The odds are as follows according to . https://bettinginsiderjournal.com/boxing-odds-for-canelo-alvarez-vs-avni-yildirim/



-5000 is equivalent to 1.02, so you are right mate, no one would take that 1.02, there should be more odds available like the handicap betting odds so betting on this fight will be more exciting.

[TopTort777]

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua). Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua). Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies

The problem with Joshua that time is that he overlooks Andy Ruiz, he is going to the media and talking about his next big fight against Wilder and Fury that time, and he paid a big price for that, he learned his lessons and win the second fight. Canelo  and his team are better than this, they are taking one fight at a time that the chance of an upset is very slim.

[Distinctin]

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua).

This is probably the upset of the year since the odds for Canelo Alvarez is already -5000 or 1.02, while in the fight between Ruiz Jr and AJ, the odds of AJ was -2500, lower than this fight obviously.

Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies

This would not happen, if he would do it, it should be in an opponent that people think has chance of beating him, so people will not doubt and investigate him. 

[bisdak40]

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua). Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies

I don't think an upset will happen here because Canelo is wisely picking his opponent and even some of the boxing analyst didn't even give Yildirim a chance on this fight.

Tim Bradley is right, the level of opposition Canelo had in his last few fights is bad and it seems that he is avoiding the best fight that suited him.

This is just getting his mandatory fight out of the way and I don't expect Canelo to have any problems with the Turkish fighter.

It's just mandatory, well, true it could only be punching bag, we have a choice not to watch this fight but let's expect the next fight to come is a big fight. Canelo is a champion, he is proven to be one of the best in the business, so I don't think he will still duck a good opponent as he has no undefeated record to protect anymore.

[South Park]

If this is the mandatory so be it, Canelo should have an easy time against Yildirim. And Yildirim is a win-win situation here, Canelo is the cash cow now so he is lucky, like winning a lottery, and then *potentially* upset Canelo.

Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.

This is in fact the mandatory fight so there is nothing Canelo can do if he wants to retain all of the titles that he has, it is being reported that he doesn't want this fight but what can you do? So it is obvious that he does not see his opponent as a threat as he is willing to take him so closely after his more recent fight and that he doesn't expect to receive any damage either because most likely were going to see Canelo fighting in May once again.

Indeed, from the word itself, mandatory is a must.  If he will have a fight this may that would fit on the celebration which is the "Cinco de Mayo", I believe there are a lot of big fights on that schedule in the past for Mexican fighters as that to celebrate the occasion as well.

Biggest upset possible if Yildirim will beat Canelo here as the way I see it, it seems like people does not see a chance that Yildirim can beat Canelo despite of his 21-2 record.

I also know that Yildirim alias is "Mr Robot", I wonder why he is called that name, have not seen his highlights yet, I gotta watch to know. lol

https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/681976

[Baofeng]

As everyone here is saying, even Tim Bradley agree with us:

Tim Bradley: Canelo Not Facing The Best Right Now, Yildirim is a Punching Bag, I'm Not Paying!

"In a fight like this, Canelo should look very, very impressive, and he should win this fight in spectacular fashion. It should be a highlight-reel knockout. SportsCenter top 10, top 10 KOs in all of boxing by the end of 2021 when all is said and done. He can raise his profile and his standing with a KO win, because that's what a lot of fans want to see," Bradley said to ESPN.

"Yildirim should get stopped before Round 6. He's a mandatory challenger who deserves to fight Canelo, according to the sanctioning body. But at this point we know what these sanctioning bodies are about. Moving guys into certain places that can benefit their pockets, their franchise and improve the way their marquee fighters look. Why isn't a guy like [David] Benavidez, who had that title and was one of the youngest guys ever to win that same title, in line for a chance to try to win it back instead?"

https://www.boxingscene.com/tim-bradley-canelo-not-facing-best-right-now-yildirim-punching-bag-im-not-paying--154880

To be fair with Canelo, he is honouring the mandatory challenger, and I would say that this division is weak as well. That's why the level of opposition is below par at Canelo's level. David Benavidez or Billy Joe Saunders are also going to be an easy fight fo Canelo as well.

[TravelMug]

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua).

Avni Yildirim is one very boxer if he upset the best boxer right now. But I don't think he has enough tools unless a lucky punch.

Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies

Sooner or later those sport bookies are going to see that something is wrong with the betting trend and will try to investigate it. And it doesn't make sense for Canelo or his team to do that, unless the supposedly boxing mafia is still alive up to this day, but I highly doubt it.

[coin-investor]

It will be an all too easy match for Canelo against a semi-unknown opponent Yildirim who hasn't been training for quite a while so out of shape, maybe he could have chosen a more challenging opponent

You don't need an analysis to figure who will win in this match we all know who is going to win the match but we can analyze what round will Canelo knock Avni Yildirim, this is a walk in the park for Canelo Alvarez, people are wondering why to take a very easy boxer to beat, there are active boxers there who can go all out in the ring and offer excitement to the fight, it's a boring fight when there is a mismatch.

[Yogee]

..... I am amazed on the height of Avni Yildirim which this point is his main advantage against Canelo.

This also makes him an easier target for the overhand right or left. Canelo's strategy will most likely pounce the body first before aiming for the head.

Hats off to Yildirim but his only chance to win the fight is to run and pile up points. I doubt he has enough power in his punches to rock Canelo's chin. That guy is built like a tank.

[blue Snow]

This is a mandatory fight for Canelo before going to Billy Joe Saunders. Yildirim had a strong left hook and body shot technical but he had a weak defense either. because of that, he got KO in the last fight. Canelo had should know Yildirim uses an inside fight strategy where that makes it easy to KO-ing in the first round.

Seeing how Yildirim performed on his last fight, i think this would not go the distance. If the betting odds for Canelo to KO Avni inside the 6 rounds then i would go for it.

This is just some sort of a tune-up fight for Canelo before his showdown with Billy Joe Saunders in "Cinco de Mayo". Hope no untoward things will happen as to not derail this fight.

6 rounds is probably a max for Yildirim, especially if he will engage with Canelo. I guess I'll also go with the round 1-3 KO win by Canelo. This fight is just all about what round Yildirim get KO because as a fan of boxing, not a bias opinion, we already know Yildirim has no chance of winning.

Exactly, no one has touches that chin of Canelo, not even Golovkin who is know to have power. Yes, just like the Callum Smith fight, Canelo was at a disadvantage in height, but he targets the body and then the overhand was the killer punch.

This fight won't go to distance, either a ko/tko or the corner of Yildirim will throw the towel because it was a mismatch.

6 rounds is probably a max for Yildirim, especially if he will engage with Canelo. I guess I'll also go with the round 1-3 KO win by Canelo. This fight is just all about what round Yildirim get KO because as a fan of boxing, not a bias opinion, we already know Yildirim has no chance of winning.

Of course in terms of experience and number of matches Yildirim is very far from Canelo, and if Yildirim can keep his distance to avoid Canelo's deadly blow it looks like it will last a long time and will likely be more than 6 rounds.
and Conelo will still win the match against Yildirim which in my opinion is not a balanced opponent.

[Distinctin]

This is a mandatory fight for Canelo before going to Billy Joe Saunders. Yildirim had a strong left hook and body shot technical but he had a weak defense either. because of that, he got KO in the last fight. Canelo had should know Yildirim uses an inside fight strategy where that makes it easy to KO-ing in the first round.

After the Triple G fight which happened twice in 2017and 2018 respectively, after that, I did not anymore see a fight that I think interesting, I always thought that the Triple G fights was the best fights of his career and if he will not give Triple G a chance to fight him for the 3rd time, I think we will only see a low caliber boxers fighting Canelo until he retires.

We must understand that now boxing is treated as a business so instead of getting the more interesting fights right away promoters try to milk their fighters as much as they can before those big fights but the issue is that we do not get as good fights as we could get otherwise, so it is obvious that Canelo is going to choose fights in which there is a very low chance for him to lose, and a fight with GGG is not in his plans as many people believe he lost both of those fights.

[madnessteat]

No one doubts that Saul Alvarez will win this fight and keep his titles. Many analysts say that the main question now is how many rounds Avni Yildirim will last before he is knocked out. I think he should last three rounds for sure.

[Insanerman]

The replies already predicts the most possible outcome of this fight. There are no further argument that could arise in this topic. Canelo has a huge upper hand in this, both judging by his skills and and strength, and his overall stats, compared to Yildirim. Though the odds would return a lower profit, I'd still bet in this fight. But the tables might still be turned if Yildirim would prove something and work hard to his way up, we'll still wait on how hard Yildirim would grind and practice.

they need to earn in this time of crisis. so yeah, why not fight for a sure one, right? promoters are looking at figures here. just hoping that boxing industry will not totally deteriorate their reputation. now, that they seemed to favour money over real skills. maybe once we get out of this pandemic crisis, we will be out of these "exhibition fights"

Cant we say that  this is a mismatch kind of fight? There's no way for Anvi to have some upset or beat up Canelo on here. He  would be just adding up on that Winning stats.Sorry to be harsh
but even on my dreams, he wont able to beat up Saul  or do make out some upset.

We call it a mistake because it's not really a fair fight, but this is mandatory so there's nothing we can but to watch this, move on and forget and wait for the next fight of Canelo. The last fight of Canelo is bigger than this, of course with bigger opponent... I hope this year we will be able to see a big fight for Canelo.

This fight is happening in less than a month, I'm waiting for the handicap betting odds.

[FinneysTrueVision]

Canelo is so confident that he will easily win this fight that he is already planning his next fight. He will be unifying titles with Billy Joe Saunders in May. In my opinion Saunders will be another soft touch for Canelo. After getting stripped of his middleweight title BJS has not really been relevant. He has a belt but it was a vacant title and he won it against a no name fighter. The hope for seeing a trilogy fight with GGG is virtually dead at this point.

It could be another Callum Smith performance by Saunders here, although his name really pop up when we talk about 168 lbs division. Yeah, he is also out and hasn't fought any relevant fighters, but that is the one fighter that Canelo will have to face to clean up this division.

Would like to see a GGG trilogy, but Canelo is the problem, he doesn't want to give GGG a fight. So who else will be in next in line for him? Only Caleb Plant (which has a fight) and then Saunders.

It he (https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/482499) what you are talking?
He has a perfect record, age 31 (not so young), but of course fans would like to see this one if no better fighter that will fight Canelo.

If he wants to make more money, he should fight GGG, even if we are in pandemic right now, people will surely spend just to watch this fight, including your truly.

I think Billy Joe Sanders could give Canelo a good fight though. In my opinion he is better than Callum Smith. So I don't think ti will be a soft touch for Canelo here. Besides, he will be the last man standing from Canelo's cleaning up the division. So we hope that he can give Canelo a good fight not like Callum Smith who simply folded in Canelo's attack.

Trilogy with GGG is not gonna happen as Canelo already close the book between him and GGG so yes, it's dead by this point and I'm not going to expect that to happen in the future.

I still hoping that they will do a trilogy, there is a high demand for a trilogy, if Canelo faced and won all his opponents in his division and Golovkin also conquered his own division then they have to face each other, they are made for each other, style make fights and they have style that will make a very exciting fights just like what happen in their first two fights.

Everyone is hoping for a trilogy. GGG is already 38 years old, how about one big fight before this great fighter will retire.

Come one Canelo, we know you are good but why not give GGG another chance to fight with you?
The record is 1-0 since the first one was a draw, if Canelo will win then end of debate, he is the better fighter.

Probably it's pride though, he already said that he won't give GGG a rematch because he disrespected him specially when a tainted blood sample with a ban substance come positive on Canelo. But they have excuses so he gets a free pass. And GGG used that as a bait to get a 2 fight with Canelo.

And since Canelo has beaten him in the second fight, he doesn't want to give GGG a big pay check again. After all what's he said in the past.

Who knows that after the fight with Yildirim, a bout with GGG will happen. Maybe there are plans as it's was demanded by most of their fans.

But for that to happen, Canelo should win on this match, or else, there will be no more hype for a GGG rematch.

I'm one of the fans that will be so happy if it will happen again. We should continue to involve their names on the discussion so they will know that the public is still looking for the trilogy, and that they will realized that this is a big income generating for both of them.

It would be nice to see that we have big games this year.

Joshua vs Fury and Canelo vs GGG.. Isn't that nice?

[crzy]

Canelo is good and fresh from the fight while Avni was absence from the ring for a year or so, so I think this will become hard for Avni to get on track easily but if you are just looking at their records, I can say that they have the same result and an interesting fighting strategy, nevertheless I’ll go for Canelo on this match just to have a safe bet.

Canelo will win this without a sweat. Don't know why Team Canelo entertained this so called "mandatory fights" when they can go for a bigger fight. Maybe this is just a way for them to have Canelo a tune-up fight.

Cinco de Mayo, Canelo always fights on this date and so far a name already floats as who he will be fighting next. Saunders could could pose more threat than this one.

It wont be called mandatory if theres no something behind, so the team wouldnt have any choice but to fight even if they do know that this wont be a tough match.

No doubt that Canelo will be looking for that date in his next fight, Saunders might be a tougher opponent that Yildirim, but the results will be the same I guess. Clean up the division this year, unify all the belts will be Canelo's goal at 168 lbs and maybe he will look for more challenge next year.

Yes, that's the reason behind why Canelo will have to fight Yildirim, although we all know that he is no match for this version of Canelo, but still Alvarez needs to fight him. Yes, probably we can call this a tune up or get busy fight.

The odds are not lying though, Canelo is -5000 betting favorite, so we are not looking down too much on Avri but the numbers is telling us the real story.

I like the Saunders fight more than this match, but I like to watch Canelo against any opponent he is a beauty to watch, I like how he delivers the counter punch and how he duck punches he is the master of the movement in the ring, he really matured as a boxer he deserves to be the undisputed champion in his division, even though I know who will win I still watch just to see his boxing skill.

He is not just the undisputed champion, but pound for pound, he is considered the #1. And after he wins this fight against Yildirim, Saunders will have this time and given the chance to test Canelo. He is good but I think Canelo with his power will knockout Saunders. Yes, he has matured or shall we say really in the prime of his boxing skills.

boxers which arent really that good match up on the current known or hall of famer boxers at this moment which even the blind people could say on whose gonna win. 
-5000? These numbers are way too obvious.

Yes, its really hard to understand why team Canelo chooses Avni Yildirim instead of chasing a big fight. And the question is how big the money is in the table for them to accept this fight. So it become pretty obvious that this is just a tune up fight for him.

Saunders is a bigger threat than Callum Smith and Avni Yildirim that will be a good match specially if it happen this Cinco de Mayo.

I would agree that it's a bigger fight, but I like to see the biggest fight which is the GGG trilogy which I don't know if it will still happen.
After this fight, Canelo will again fight this year, and hopefully it's a bigger right and I know Canelo would still win and dominate like what he has been doing.

maybe the reason why they havent opted for bigger fight right now is because people are limited to go inside the arena. or are they accepting now live audience? it seems not. so not really worth choosing big fights for now. it is better to have live audience on bigger fights. they will earn more if they have. maybe after a year, we will see good boxing matches again.

Probably a sure win by Canelo so it can add to his win record, well many expect this fight to become an easy one for Canelo but of course we have to respect both boxers and maybe Avni trained hard for this one so he can get back on track. If Canelo push for a more big fights, he still have the chance so I don’t know why they are scared to take higher steps.

[Ryker1]

Well, I am also on Canelo's side on this match, his opponent won't perhaps beat him because as we can see technically, Canelo has a better history than Avni Yildirim. With the record of 36 knockouts under by Canelo and the 12 knockouts that under by Avni, you cant say that Canelo here is a monsters fighter than his opponent, it's sound like a garbage match, Avni has not enough power for this fight, he has a lower caliber than Canelo and for sure most bookies will put him as n underdog on this match.

21 wins with 12 KOs and 2 loses, that's Avni Yildirim, his resume won't really match against Canelo's. Everyone is rooting for Canelo to win and this match honestly is not so interesting, so probably fans will just pass this and will look forward on Canelo's next fight and hopefully against a fighter with a decent boxing record.

He is the king in his division, and he is still young so he might reign that division for awhile.

just to refresh our memory in his previous fight.

That is the tricky part mate, there are a lot of ABC titles, everyone has it's champion and top rank players. And it just so happen that Canelo holds a belt that Yildirim is the mandatory. And if Canelo doesn't want to fight him and instead chose other fighters in other division then he will pay a hefty step aside money and maybe that is the reason why he go for Yildirim instead of like Saunders.

We really hate it, but since boxing is now a big business, the whole narrative has change in the last 20-30 years. And the odds is really ridiculous and we really know that Canelo will win here, maybe by ko.

Canelo is good and fresh from the fight while Avni was absence from the ring for a year or so, so I think this will become hard for Avni to get on track easily but if you are just looking at their records, I can say that they have the same result and an interesting fighting strategy, nevertheless I’ll go for Canelo on this match just to have a safe bet.

Canelo will win this without a sweat. Don't know why Team Canelo entertained this so called "mandatory fights" when they can go for a bigger fight. Maybe this is just a way for them to have Canelo a tune-up fight.

Cinco de Mayo, Canelo always fights on this date and so far a name already floats as who he will be fighting next. Saunders could could pose more threat than this one.

Yes, its really hard to understand why team Canelo chooses Avni Yildirim instead of chasing a big fight. And the question is how big the money is in the table for them to accept this fight. So it become pretty obvious that this is just a tune up fight for him.

Saunders is a bigger threat than Callum Smith and Avni Yildirim that will be a good match specially if it happen this Cinco de Mayo.

I would agree that it's a bigger fight, but I like to see the biggest fight which is the GGG trilogy which I don't know if it will still happen.
After this fight, Canelo will again fight this year, and hopefully it's a bigger right and I know Canelo would still win and dominate like what he has been doing.

maybe the reason why they havent opted for bigger fight right now is because people are limited to go inside the arena. or are they accepting now live audience? it seems not. so not really worth choosing big fights for now. it is better to have live audience on bigger fights. they will earn more if they have. maybe after a year, we will see good boxing matches again.

Yes, this could be one reason why Canelo is not looking for big fight this year because he wanted to have fans in the ring side to see him live. There is also this option that him fighting in his native Mexico. And we all know that Mexicans love him so if fans are not allowed then it's not worth for now.

So easy fight for him, then maybe Saunders to see if there is improvement as far as the health and safety protocols and maybe allow fans then in the latter part of the year.

I guess majority will favor for Canelo to win this much knowing that he has almost all the advantages compare to his opponent that is not almost active but it will only happen if Canelo will take fight seriously as anything can happen in the ring if you are going to belittle your enemy.

With regards to odds, I guess we will win a very little if we are going to bet to Canelo for this match as I am  pretty sure that the book maker will behave this way in giving an odds to this match.

Here's the betting odds https://www.oddschecker.com/boxing/saul-alvarez-v-avni-yildirim/winner
Bet on Yildirim  and you'll win 16 times of your money, that's the highest, while bet on Alvarez, you'll only get 2% to 5% of your bet, not attractive, right?

I suggest you bet on the KO handicap, betting is quite fair for Canelo with handicap betting.

[StartupAnalyst]

Clearly Canelo Alvarez is the favorite for this fight. I think the fight will end early. There will be a knockout between rounds 7 and 12. Most people will be rooting for Alvarez. But I think the fight will be interesting, although Avni Yildirim is a little bit inferior in technique.

[South Park]

After the Triple G fight which happened twice in 2017and 2018 respectively, after that, I did not anymore see a fight that I think interesting, I always thought that the Triple G fights was the best fights of his career and if he will not give Triple G a chance to fight him for the 3rd time, I think we will only see a low caliber boxers fighting Canelo until he retires.

We must understand that now boxing is treated as a business so instead of getting the more interesting fights right away promoters try to milk their fighters as much as they can before those big fights but the issue is that we do not get as good fights as we could get otherwise, so it is obvious that Canelo is going to choose fights in which there is a very low chance for him to lose, and a fight with GGG is not in his plans as many people believe he lost both of those fights.

they need to earn in this time of crisis. so yeah, why not fight for a sure one, right? promoters are looking at figures here. just hoping that boxing industry will not totally deteriorate their reputation. now, that they seemed to favour money over real skills. maybe once we get out of this pandemic crisis, we will be out of these "exhibition fights"

I can understand why the exhibition fights were made as the pandemic really hit the boxing industry since I went from watching box every single week for years to not watch a single fight in months, I just hope that once we begin to see more people being vaccinated promoters leave behind those exhibition fights because a fight in which there is nothing at stake is incredibly boring and the quality of the fights were very low as well and for the most part the fights were only attractive because of the star power of the participants.

It will be interesting if there's a KO and more interesting if not coming from Canelo.
The opponent is a big underdog here, no bettors believe in him to win so that's a big motivation for him to train hard for this big fight.

Canelo does not have a decent odds for KO win but Yildirim has, but you'll only approve it if you believe on his chance to win.

KO's can be in perfect timing, he can do it if the time permits for him but likely this fight will never have that ends, they finished the 12 rounds as scheduled.

But on the betting side, no wonder that Canelo will have a lot of supporters. Of course, those who know Avni and his friends will support him, still, he can't be zero. I'm not sure if Avni is really prepared for this fight but I could say he might be a lucky one because he lose but he is also gaining some learnings on the other side.

Yes, it's all about timing, the moment your opponent didn't see that punch, boom, it could be a KO. Most likely that the fight will not last 12 rounds. Canelo is an absolute beast specially if he can smell that his opponent is retreating, he might go for a KO.

Not only friends, but there are boxing fans who always love to bet on the underdog before of the huge win they can get if everything falls into pieces. But it's unlikely, as least for me that Canelo can be upset by a fighter like the caliber of Yildirim.

[Latviand]

I'm also thinking about the odds but if you really want to have a safer bet and you don't want to deal with huge risks then go for Canelo.

His head movement is really outstanding and can really be useful in an actual fight so I think that Avni will have a hard time trying to defeat Canelo.

But if you are aiming for the huge price and deal with risks then go bet on Avni so that your betting will be much worth it, we don't know what if Avni wins. Avni's long rest or break in boxing world will really become a huge factor in this match up, while Canelo is being consistent with his career and he is really focus in defeating his future opponents.

Exposures for him and the amount of money that he may take after the fight. Though there's always open chances for him if Alvarez will give him the opening who knows he might hit the killer punch.

Fighters if given a chance will always grab the opportunity, if Canelo will lose his guard maybe he might get a break to pushed his chance but that is only if knowing Canelo and how he fought so well, he's always ready and willing to take the challenged.

Canelo Alvarez fights at a different level altogether and i wont risk a penny to bet in the match against Canelo Alvarez, i am yet to watch the fights of Avni Yildirim to see how he fights and how he will counter the heavy punches to understand how long he can last so that i can predict how many rounds he can face Canelo Alvarez .

My prediction is Canelo Alvarez and i need to do some research before placing the final bet.

Canelo Alvarez here by a knock-out, similar to Amir Khan. Probably 6-7 max rounds before Canelo hit that home run and Avni Yildirim. It will be competitive though, Alvarez will go for the body early and then unexpectedly hit that knock out punch.

I think Khan is better than Yildirim, so I predict a shorter rounds, probably this will end in 6 rounds or less. Haven't seen this Yildirim fought a popular fighter yet, hence he is not popular as well, but Amir Khan I believe is popular as he was a champion if I'm not wrong.

Alvarez will go for the body early and then unexpectedly hit that knock out punch.

He can hit his opponent anywhere when he sees an opening, not a problem with him as he is a good boxer which currently still at his prime.

It was a mismatch by all means, so Amir Khan is asking for a knock out when he fought Canelo back then, plus he has a china chin, that when someone touches, it's easily broken.

In case of Yildirim, probably Canelo will go for a knock out if he think Yildirim is shielding himself. And we don't know how Yildirim chin as well, if he is tough as nail then the fight can go to distance. But if Canelo is in a target practice the night might end early with a knockout by Alvarez.

I'm hoping and expecting the same, Canelo needs to level up and go for a KO, the last fight was a unanimous win by him, not too exciting so he needs to come back so people will be more interested on his next fight. I also hope that he will continue to be in shape, he is good, no doubt about that he should not be careless.

Canelo is now on his top and this is his peak prime years in boxing. So for sure he will be in top shape for the next 2-3 years before we see him somewhat decline. And this is the main reason why he wanted to remain at 168 lbs because he doesn't want to go up in weight anymore.

So he is not going to be careless on the contrary, will use his boxing IQ. If the knock out is not there he will not push for it.

Ohh, of course, you will. But I have no doubt to put my bet on Canelo, he is my favorite boxer at this fight.
I could see this not an easy fight for Canelo. Though Canelo got older now, I believe he still has the power punch that could knock out his opponent (Avni). But the question is how long they could finish Avni coz he is strong also and could really face heavy punchers. And also Canelo can never be in early celebration...lol

Believe that it's an easy fight for Canelo because it is.

In terms of age, there's no big difference as Canelo is 30 years old while his opponent is 29 years old.

Canelo is on the peak of his career now and whoever it is on the opposite inside the ring, i think will gonna lose.

They may say it is cherry picking but i think it is just about Canelo who seems unbeatable at this stage of his career.

Canelo will always show his best in the fight, he doesn't underestimate any opponent as he puts the same training pressure in every fight. People maybe a bit frustrated because they want to see Canelo to have a big fight especially with Triple 5, but it does not happen anymore, and his previous fights were just easy fights for him.

[Lorence.xD]

It will be interesting if there's a KO and more interesting if not coming from Canelo.
The opponent is a big underdog here, no bettors believe in him to win so that's a big motivation for him to train hard for this big fight.

Canelo does not have a decent odds for KO win but Yildirim has, but you'll only approve it if you believe on his chance to win.

The difference in experience is far too big to make an accurate prediction that an upset is possibility. The motivation factor could help but that wouldn't be enough a guy like Alvarez. Canelo doesn't have decent odds in KO but he knows how to win the game of wear and tear and the reason that Yildirim has a good odds is because he doesn't have a lot of fights.

[Jating]

Canelo: I'm Not Underestimating Yildirim, One Punch Can Change Everything.

"None of that [is happening], I do feel superior and I am superior to Yildirim," Canelo said to George Ebro.

"But I'm training like it's my biggest fight and I'm not underestimating him at all. I know this is boxing and one punch can change everything. It's not in me to underestimate anyone.''

Good attitude coming from Canelo, we all know that there are boxers who really underestimate their opponent because they think they are superior, or thinking about the next big fight. But we always see a different result. And I think this separates Canelo to the rest of the boxers, because of this kind of attitude and that is why he is very successful in his career.

Indeed, Canelo is on his peak and any fighter that will be on his way to success will be destroyed, just like his past fights, we say how he dominate his opponent, expect for Gennady Golovkin, although he won in the last fight.

Canelo: I'm Not Underestimating Yildirim, One Punch Can Change Everything.

That's very humble of him, that's why I can't help myself but admire him as a boxer, he has the discipline and never take any fight for granted.

That's how the fighter should be, ready at all times because as he said anything can happen when the other one can punch. This is professional boxing we are talking about here and any boxers can put you to sleep if you get caught with their huge counter. We already witnessed such an event happened in the past where the champion has lost their winning streak due to their underestimation of their opponents. That's why he is not underestimating his opponent because he can give him huge action in the ring as well.

Yes, a attitude like that will really get you that far, and even if he lost early to Floyd, he doesn't affect him negatively and strive to work very hard. And he knows that once you underestimate anyone he face, he could lost the fight as the other fighter will definitely have a punchers chance. Just like what we've seen in the Joshua and Ruiz fight. Wherein Joshua admitted that he did underestimate and overlooking Ruiz.

Other version - Canelo is just trying to get this fight cost more. It is not a secret that with a single lucky punch anyone can KO anyone, and there is no easy fights on a professional ring. I respect that Canelo takes this fight serious, but I dont think his training camp is as hard as when he prepared against GGG, Chavez or Mayweather.

Do we really know? I guess as a boxer he should not change his training style, he should always work hard and no exemption even if his opportunity is not a well known boxer, maybe there are changes as every boxer has different style, hence strategy should be different, but in terms of seriousness in training, it should be equal.

But he is under Reynoso the best boxing. trainer out there so I doubt that he will let his cash cow to not train as hard as he can. So Canelo for me is training camp is the same as he is preparing for big fights like GGG. Otherwise, if he slack training just because he is facing Yildirim then it could be a disaster.

Tyson vs Douglas is a prime example, Tyson didn't train as much as he should be and the trainer let him be like that and then he was upset.

The fight is two days away and it seems people are ignoring this one  .



@Baofeng, what do you think of the above bro? Bookies are very confident that this won't go the distance as the odds for a Canelo win by KO is not attractive for small bettors.

Maybe, high rollers will gamble on this 7 percent profit but not me lol (just a small fish).

Alvarez by decision, I think that's a good odds, just like the previous fight of Alvarez, his opponent survive and the bet won. I just can't remember the odds of that fight, but I guess it's lower than the present odds on win by decision.

Maybe, high rollers will gamble on this 7 percent profit but not me lol (just a small fish).

Even a high roller would also doubt, too small return in a risk of big money.

Yeah bro, odds are not that attractive though, I'm not really sure if I'm going to throw big money on Canelo hehehehe. I'm looking at Canelo to go for a knock out here as well, but we will see, it might be Canelo vs Khan style of knock out.  

Might be good to put some stake on the decision as well, just to play safe.

[Russlenat]

Might be good to put some stake on the decision as well, just to play safe.

I don't know which is a safer bet here, based on the betting odds, Alvarez winning by KO is likely to happen compared winning on decision.

Therefore, I believe the safer side here is Canelo winning by KO, but you'll only entitled to a win of 7% only.

Yes, very small percentage. This means bookies believe that there will be KO happening.
But I think, Alvarez by decision. I bet in stake as they have x10 on this one.
Just bet a small one. So let us see and wait what will be the outcome of this fight.
Not betting on Alvarez by KO as it is not worth to place a bet.

I would say that I will pass on this one. I think Alvarez is going to win by KO. Will battered Yildirim in the early rounds and then go for the kill rounds 6-10.

Probably just watch and cheer for Canelo, interesting is his next fight with Billy Joe Saunders, at least in paper it has a potential to be a good fight, unlike this one. So goodluck to all bettors for Canelo to win by decision.

There is at least one guy who bet $110,000 on Canelo winning. If he wins the bet his payout would be $2,750.

I wonder if it is just a publicity stunt to promote the casino, otherwise this is just insane.

I am not seeing much hype around this fight and I'm not sure I will bother to watch it live. I'm expecting it to end with an early KO.

Bookmakers see that possibilities and with such high odd for the decision it's tempting to place some spare for this fight.

Who knows Yildirim survive and stand still until the last bell or shit happens and he throw a winning punch, anything is possible as both fighters have that capabilities to bring some solid punch to knock down their opponents.

The fight is two days away and it seems people are ignoring this one  .

High risk and yet very huge earnings if this underdog (Yildirim) take this from Alvarez which most of the bookmakers doubt    that will happen.

[electronicash]

with Yildirim's way of fighting, by the odds, you can already tell it's a long shot for him. he'd be lucky to last 1-2 rounds against Alvaraez. i'm a risk-taker myself wanting to game a huge win with just a tiny bet and i would like to take a chance if there is a possibility that Yildirim could knock a boxer with one right cross but i don't see that in any of his fights.

The usual, Canelo looks bad ass, the smaller guy, hope that we see a good performance from Yildirim and not like the others who seems to fold when Canelo hit them the first time.

[Jating]

Bookies is predicting a KO here, by the obvious odds, and it's really hard to bet on the underdog here as Alvarez is unstoppable in the last 6 years. Most of the time, we really look for a good and live underdog, but this time, I don't think there will be some upset here as Canelo is too good, too sharp.

Probably there will be whales in Vegas putting big amount of money to Canelo, but for average gamblers, might be good to look per round odds.

If this fight will last 12 rounds, and Alvarez wins by unanimous decision, those who bet will win big time. Because I don't think it is worth to bet if you will only get about 6-7% from the odds of Alvarex by KO. You are right, for most small time to average gamblers, just bet on the round per round odds. But high probability that this will end in KO. Will only be watching free streaming here though.

Most of us are not betting huge money but we want bigger return of our money, hence the win by decision odds is pretty much attractive, that's x7 or your $100 usd will get a return of $700 if you win, I guess it's worth a risk, just bet what you can afford to lose, maybe lower than $100 but make sure you'll not going to complain hard because of the high fees, just use altcoins instead.

I know it's a long shot, but there's going to be people who will put their money on Avni Yildirim, this is just to be different and who knows there are only very few who bet for Ruiz to beat Joshua by a knockout and he did it, but this is Alvarez, but as long as a boxer has knocked out in his record he can do the impossible, I hope some of our friends here will drop a link to the fight, I'd like to see what Avni Yildirim can put to the table.

Either a KO win or a win by decision of Avni Yildirim, you can get x40 of your bet, that's too high but that's not attractive for those who know how good Canelo now. Maybe putting a little for fun would be okay, but risking high and believing Avni Yildirim will win, I think we need to be realistic.

To those who are saying about the Ruiz vs Joshua fight, this is not the same when Ruiz upset Joshua because the odds of Ruiz that time was less than x10, this is actually x40 or like a lottery, I'm not sure if this stands a chance against Canelo who has been dominating his opponents in the past few years.

Yes, that is the keyword here, Canelo looks invincible in the last 5 years and haven't tasted a lost (last one against Floyd). And facing a fighter we haven't heard before against the best fighter we have right now, chances of an upset in unlikely. Of course, we can bet on Avni Yildirim, watch the fight, have some beer, enjoy, but don't think that there will be an upset.

You are right mate, most of us here wanted to have a bigger return or profit so going for that Canelo win by Decision is the choice at least for me.

A bet for a decision win by Canelo is a hill climb because Yildirim would be a punching bag here (some of you might disagree but that will be the scenario during the fight) and bettors would just pray that Yildirim train hard to survive this onslaught.

That seems having fun in gambling, lol.. you'll bet on Yildirim but you are cheering for Canelo.. this is a good strategy in case Canelo messed up, at least you'll win something although you are disappointed. lol

Nice odds with price boost, hopefully you are not just throwing money here, Good luck!

[Silberman]

Well, Canelo won easily on 3 rounds, while I think we all knew Canelo was going to win this fight it was a disappointing fight, Yildirim did almost nothing during the fight, he tried to defend himself and even that was not good enough, while we know this was the mandatory fight and Canelo had to accept it or lose his belt it is surprising how weak his opponent really was, these kind of fights do not really appeal to anyone except the fans of Canelo that want to see him win every fight, but for boxing fans that want to see a good fight this was a waste of time.

Bookies are right, to just give low odds in favor of Canelo here. Yildirim seemed not to prepare this fight. Yildirim did not rise from his stool after the third round, which means after discussion with his team, they decided to give up the fight. Are we going to know if there is a serious reason why such surrender early? Maybe he feel he couldn't go on anymore and stopping early will save him some body damage.

Yes, this was a waste of time. There was no point in making this fight. We knew Canelo would win easy and Yildirim would be lucky to make it past the early rounds. It played out exactly as was expected. I don't see any of Canelo's next potential opponents being that much more competitive. I hope Joshua vs. Fury gets finalized soon so that we have something more interesting to look forward too than another mismatch.

yes it's truly what we can expect from a fighter like Yildirim. he can barely win a fighter smaller than him. i watched his previous fights before this one. he isn't a quick as canelo, he just covers his face all the time, takes a shot, and covers again. to hell they come up with a match like this. lucky for him it took 3 rounds. its disappointing but those who took the risk betting for yildirim could throw a lucky punch, you took the risk.

Right, Canelo said he is not bothered by boxing media criticizing him with fighter a no name Yildirim. But this does nothing to his resume, almost all of us here knows that this is a mismatch from the very beginning and we are all right about it. Next for Canelo will be Billy Joe Saunders and we do hope that this one will be different. At least it will be very competitive.

[Rruchi man]

It was an easy win for Canelo Alvarez, judging from the impressive statistics (55-1-2, 37 KO) he had over Avni Yildirim (21-3, 12 KO).  Avni looked like a punching bag for Canelo, it was really obvious that he was outmatched, that is why they didn't send him out again after the 3rd round.

Just to be fair with Canelo, Yildirim was his mandatory so he is obligated to fight him whatever his detractors will have to say. But we all know how great Canelo, (we have said this many times already), and a fighter like Yildirim caliber will not put a good match against Alvarez.

Call it a surgical masterpiece, a clinic coming from Canelo again and I doubt that not even GGG can beat the Canelo that we have right now.

[LogitechMouse]

I have the time to watch the full video of it and it really is a mismatch. An easy win for Canelo.

A contender for Pound for Pound, undefeated for 6 years. What can you say with Canelo . Yildirim became a stationary punching bag all throughout the fight. He doesn't punch that much while Canelo is punching him thru the body and throwing some upper cuts too. Its a mandatory so there is nothing we can do to it but right from the start we knew already who is the winner and it happened. Easy win for him.

Waiting for his next opponent. I hope that he will fight again this year

Avni Yildirim did not come to engage, he is very reluctant, in the first place I don't know why they allow a fight like this to happen a fighter who is not in the top 5 and does not have a good record to speak of, this is the kind of fight that you do nor want to know who wins but how the fight ended, I already know who will the match even on the introduction, hope the promoters will give Canelo a more deserving match up.

He didn't response from this trainer, it means that the Yildirim doesn't want any piece of Canelo. So instead of sending him for another round of beating, which may eventually knock him out cold and putting his health at risk, Diaz rather stop the fight right there. And I will echo the sentiments of other, it was overly mismatch, I don't think that Yildirim landed a single significant shot at Canelo.

While watching the match I'm thinking if this guy can match up with Canelo, he is afraid to throw punches, this is his chance because he is an underdog not everyone has the chance to challenge for a title but he blew it, this may not be the end for Avni Yildirim but his chances for another title is slim now, this match lacks the excitement, Canelo should be up against a good fighter like his caliber.

[TopTort777]

Easy money and title defence by Canelo. I should not even put an alarm at night to watch these. Did not even managed to woke up fully, when the fight was already over. Hope Canelos next with will more entertaining to watch and the result will not predicted as in this fight.

The name is Billy Joe Saunders, who has the the WBO belt.

This fight looks like a sparring for Canelo, he just barely break a sweat when the fight is stop. But you can't blame fame and experience trainer Joel Diaz for doing so as he saw that there's no way that Yildirim will win or least give us a good showing. At least this could be a good paycheck for him, and he has given the chance to fight the best 168 lbs champion we have right now.

As i've said on my post last week, Canelo Alvarez will win this one even if he will not train hard as Yildirim is soft as a boxer and i don't know why he became the WBC mandatory challenger for Canelo.

Lost my bet but no regret lol, it is highly anticipated that Canelo will KO his opponent.

Saunders vs Canelo come May 8, might be a more competitive match but i doubt that there will be an upset here, same outcome i think and Canelo will still be victorious.

[Jackl87]

I just watched the highlights of the fight and it seems that i was a totally one sided fight where Yildirim didn't have any chance at all and was never able to put canelo under pressure.
It's easy now to say "yildirim should have done this or that or be more aggressive" but if you are in the ring with canelo things aren't that easy because canelo is one of the best fighters in the world right now.
If you would just go in swinging heavy blows against him you well be counter knocked out in the first round.

[coin-investor]

I just wait for the news to come out, and check the round where Canelo knocks  Avni Yildirim down, this is a fight that did not excite me because anyway I looked at it Canelo is just too much for Avni Yildirim, it's more like a preparation for the Saunders fight, it will not help Canelo's legacy if he keeps fighting fighters like Avni Yildirim.

This must be the easiest fight of Canelo Alvarez that I have seen, it's a one sided fight and I can now understand why the odds for Canelo winning by KO is just 1.07, this is not a good match, not entertaining at all as it's a complete beatdown by Canelo.

Congratulations to Canalo for yet another good fight, that TKO will be added in his record, nice win!

[RaltcoinsB]

Canelo Alvarez is one of the best boxers he has seen recently.  Avni Yildirim had very little luck.  At the end of the third round, he was defeated by the doctor's decision after knock down.  If the competition continued, things would not go well for his health. One more match ended and Alvarez got a fairly easy win.  Everyone was making Alvarez a favorite.

[TopTort777]

No doubt Canelo is one of the greatest boxers, but since GGG he hasnt faught anyone serious. Luckely, in May 8 he is going to face Billy Joe Saunders, top3 in world and top2 UK

Everyone was right then, however, the betting odds for Canelo is not quite attractive, bettors only won 1.07 in the fight, but if they predicted a TKO in round 3, then I think they'll win.

The update of this site https://boxrec.com/en/proboxer/348759 is very fast, Canelo will again fight in May and it looks like this fight is just too easy for them that they are already planning ahead on the next fight.

I watched the entire fight and Canelo dismantled Yildrim in three (3) rounds.

Those three (3) rounds show the deadly accuracy, raw strength/power, and skill of Canelo as the best middleweight division champion of the world. His power shots were mostly felt by Yildrim and he was not able to recover after he got knocked out from round three. I am definitely excited for the future of Canelo and his other fights in the future. His accuracy on his uppercuts were just beautiful to watch!

No doubt Canelo is one of the greatest boxers, but since GGG he hasnt faught anyone serious. Luckely, in May 8 he is going to face Billy Joe Saunders, top3 in world and top2 UK

A fight with Saunders will seal his status as the best middleweight I want to see him fight the Charlo brothers, the Charlo brothers have huge egos and if Canelo can beat the brothers, that will seal his legacy as one of the best pounds for pound king, a fight with both brothers will make a box office attraction.

It was an easy win for Canelo Alvarez, judging from the impressive statistics (55-1-2, 37 KO) he had over Avni Yildirim (21-3, 12 KO).  Avni looked like a punching bag for Canelo, it was really obvious that he was outmatched, that is why they didn't send him out again after the 3rd round.

He didn't response from this trainer, it means that the Yildirim doesn't want any piece of Canelo. So instead of sending him for another round of beating, which may eventually knock him out cold and putting his health at risk, Diaz rather stop the fight right there. And I will echo the sentiments of other, it was overly mismatch, I don't think that Yildirim landed a single significant shot at Canelo.

Canelo is more aggressive and from that he landed more solid punch than Yildirim and like what you said, I also tried to watch those available replays and check if there's any solid that's been landed to Canelo.

This was a mismatch no argue with that, the skills and power of Canelo dominated this fight, the only thing that matters is the future of Avni
that's the reason it's needed to stop to avoid further damages, as those solid punch from Alvarez really hurting Avni.

This can lead to some serious injuries if they'll him fighting, best to accept the defeats than force him to continue risking his health.

He is already one of the best middleweights in modern era, and I win against Saunders will cemented his legacy. As for the Charlo brothers, I'm a big fan of the twins, @bisdak40 knows that, but they are good a 154-160 lbs. If they try to chase Canelo at 168 lbs, it will be a disaster for them. As for the Yildirim fight, we saw that it was really a mismatch and it's good that it was stop early.
