Okay, so let me tell you about this whole Canelo Alvarez thing. I’ve been following this guy for a while now, and his recent fights and decisions have been, well, interesting to say the least.
It all started when I heard that Canelo signed a deal with PBC. I thought, “Okay, cool, new opportunities for him.” They were talking about a big fight with Jermall Charlo, and apparently, PBC was ready to give Canelo his guaranteed money for it. That’s a big deal, you know? Big money, big fight.
Then, Canelo went back to his hometown, Guadalajara, for a fight. I watched it, and man, he just dominated the whole thing. It was like watching a masterclass. This guy is really something else.
After that, there was this whole deal with DAZN. I remember reading that Canelo signed a massive five-year, 11-fight deal worth like $365 million. It was all over the news. I was like, “Dang, that’s some serious cash!” It was a smart move, if you ask me. Getting his fights streamed on DAZN, that’s a big audience.
I also remember this one fight against Billy Joe Saunders. Canelo won by TKO in the eighth round. It was a pretty intense fight, but Canelo proved why he’s considered one of the best. He’s just so skilled and powerful.
- Signing with PBC: I saw the news and thought it was a great opportunity for Canelo.
- Fight in Guadalajara: I watched the fight and was impressed by Canelo’s domination.
- DAZN Deal: I read about the huge deal and thought it was a smart move for Canelo’s career.
- Fight against Saunders: I watched the fight and was amazed by Canelo’s performance.
But here’s where it gets a bit messy. There’s been some drama with his former promoter, Oscar De La Hoya. I heard that even Canelo himself isn’t a fan of De La Hoya anymore. There’s talk about disloyalty and switching trainers and managers. It’s a whole thing. Apparently, Golden Boy didn’t even tell Canelo about some negotiations, and he lost his IBF belt because of it. Now GGG has it again. It’s a mess, honestly.
Then there’s this whole thing with Dmitry Bivol. People were talking about a rematch, but Bivol said he wants to respect his contract with Saudi Arabia. It seems like he’s not against fighting Canelo at super middleweight, though. It’s all very complicated.
Through all this, I’ve noticed that Canelo keeps saying he’s the best and that he’ll fight anyone. He even said, “I did great, what are they gonna say? I fight young boxers (…) they want me to fight young boxers and they will be still talking, I’m the best boxer.”
So yeah, that’s the gist of what I’ve been following with Canelo Alvarez. It’s been a rollercoaster of big fights, big money, and some behind-the-scenes drama. I’m definitely keeping an eye on what he does next. It’s always exciting with him. He said he has made the jump before so he knows about the super middleweight. What a guy!
I just wanted to share all of this with you because I find it so fascinating. Boxing is such a crazy sport, and Canelo’s journey is definitely one for the books.
