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

[bisdak40]

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.

Tune-up fight? I would consider that possibility but hey, are we looking down too much on Avni?

Probably just want to get some practice before a fight with Caleb Plant or Billy Joe Saunders this year.

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.

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.

Tune-up fight? I would consider that possibility but hey, are we looking down too much on Avni?  

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.

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.

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.

Why there are matches that being arranged up on that way? This isnt only talking about this fight alone but also in other mandatory fights as well on where they do aligning out those
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.

-5000? These numbers are way too obvious.

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.

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.
