After Mexican star, the present face of boxing, Canelo Alvarez offers with Edgar Berlanga, as nearly everybody feels would be the case on September 14 in Las Vegas, the massive query can be – who subsequent for Canelo? And at this present second in time, it’s not an particularly straightforward query to reply.
Canelo we all know won’t give us the combat we would like, and have needed for therefore lengthy, this a combat in opposition to David Benavidez. So what WILL Canelo give us subsequent? As quite a few of us have identified, Canelo doesn’t have too many apparent worthy opponents at 168 kilos proper now.
As such, and fairly amazingly, Chris Eubank Jr is in with an actual shot at touchdown a combat with Canelo subsequent yr. Neglect that Eubank has performed nothing to earn the prospect. Talking of a man who has earned a shot at Alvarez, WBC and Ring Journal NO1 ranked tremendous middleweight Christian Mbilli is asking for the subsequent go at Canelo.
Canelo we all know is just not too bothered about holding onto his assortment of belts, with the 34 yr outdated lately vacating his IBF belt as a result of he wasn’t in any respect curious about combating the man on the prime of the IBF pile (this being William Scull).
However as Mbilli’s promoter Camile Estephan mentioned when talking with Ring.TV.com, “who else if not Mbilli?” Estephan mentioned he really believes Mbilli, 28-0(23) and coming off a one-sided win over the more durable than robust Sergey Derevyanchenko, can beat Canelo. “It’s apparent he ought to combat Canelo,” Estephan mentioned of Mbilli.
29 yr outdated Mbilli of France believes it too. Estephan mentioned if the combat happened in Canada, an enormous enviornment could be required, however that he doesn’t assume Canelo will comply with combat Mbilli in Canada – “[not] the primary one anyway – if we beat him we’ll give him a rematch, we’ll have it right here,” he mentioned.
Mbilli is just not solely a worthy Canelo foe, the all-action Frenchman can also be a lot enjoyable to look at, an actual fan-favourite. Mbilli, who throws so many punches he could make an opponent really feel as if he had been caught in a blizzard, has additionally proven a chin, nice stamina, and a few severe starvation and want.
It received’t be Benavidez subsequent for Canelo, it shouldn’t in any manner be Eubank Jr, so who else can or not it’s however Mbilli? Diego Pacheco has been talked about and the unbeaten contender is asking for a go at Canelo. However Mbilli is unquestionably one of the best, the obvious subsequent problem for Canelo.
Alvarez has needed to hearken to plenty of criticism from followers who strongly really feel he has flat-out ducked Benavidez. If the drum will get banged sufficient for a combat with Mbilli, with Mbilli remaining unbeaten and by no means stopping calling Canelo out, the Mexican warrior will certainly not let followers down once more……will he?
