I don’t find out about you, however David Benavidez apart, the man I’d most wish to see Mexican celebrity Canelo Alvarez combat subsequent is unbeaten French buzzsaw Christian Mbilli. Why? Merely put, Mbilli, 28-0(23) is a heck of plenty of enjoyable to look at, he throws a ton of punches every time he fights, he has proven he can take an excellent shot……..and Mbilli is ravenous hungry. Now, as per the brand new WBA rankings, Mbilli is doubtlessly a giant step nearer to getting the combat he has been calling for for some months now.
Having changed Edgar Berlanga because the WBA No.1 contender at 168 kilos (Berlanga in fact the final man to share a hoop with Alvarez), Mbilli and his group will little question push for a shot on the belt Canelo holds together with the WBC, WBO and Ring Journal titles on the weight.
Canelo – who has lately been seen out in Japan, inflicting some fully unfounded hypothesis that he could also be lining up a combat within the nation – is absolutely anticipated to maintain his Cinco de Mayo combat date in Might, and perhaps Mbilli would be the man within the reverse nook. Perhaps. Mbilli might not be the largest title, though his profile is rising, however these followers who’ve seen him combat know what he’s all about: motion.
Final seen doling out a reasonably dangerous beating on the skilled and teak-tough Sergiy Derevyanchenko, this in August, the 29-year-old who is predicated in Montreal, Quebec, picked up his third win of this yr, his different wins being stoppage victories over Rohan Murdock and Mark Heffron. In some methods, Mbilli is a throwback fighter, in as a lot as he’s keen to combat anybody to earn his shot. There actually is nothing to not like about Mbilli, from his combating model to his sturdy but respectful psychological sport, with him deciding to not interact in trash discuss.
Canelo, as huge a star as he’s, solely has just a few attention-grabbing choices so far as his subsequent combat goes: Benavidez (this a combat Canelo appears destined by no means to take), a rematch with Dmitry Bivol (both at 175, this if Bivol beats Artur Beterbiev on October 12, or at 168 ought to Bivol lose the 175 pound unification showdown), and, effectively, who else?
Perhaps a younger gun who will give his all and can throw every thing, together with the kitchen sink, at Canelo ought to he get the prospect. Christian Mbilli suits the invoice.
Agree or disagree?
