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

[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.

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!

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.
