This is a very interesting fight. We all know how Canelo fights very methodically. He sized you up, studied your movement, power, and ring IQ, then he adjusted to beat you.
Mbili is a strong power puncher with a wicked left hook, but he is slow and stiff; many of the fighters he has knocked out were easy targets. With Canelo, I don't think he can do what he did to his previous opponents; he is still undefeated with 29 wins and 24 fights, looks impressive, but not so when facing Canelo.
I expect Canelo to regain his WBC Super Middleweight title
Don’t be delusional my bro, I love Canelo like crazy but this fight is not gonna be an easy one for him at all.
Mbilli is fucking tank, the guy has got power, aggression and doesn’t mind dogging it out because he can take shots so i wouldn’t be surprised if he beats Canelo.
If Canelo wants to win that fight, he’s gotta bring something different than what he did against Crawford; probably more early aggression by establishing his jab and body shots before Mbilli can start to power up.
Or he could just try as much as possible to initiate a higher work rate in the early rounds, that way he probably won’t get out worked by Mbilli later in the middle rounds.
IMO this fight is a 50-50 fight so if i were you, i wouldn’t be so quick to ride the hype just because Canelo is the bigger name, Mbilli is no joke and his fight with Lester Martinez is enough proof even though that’s not the only one.
