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

[freedomgo]

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.

..... 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
