Alvarez has dominated over the past 7 years having held world titles in 3 divisions plus beating Sergey Kovalev after his move up to light heavyweight. Canelo’s technique is unmatched and his experience despite his relatively young age makes him all the more dangerous.
Billy Joe Saunders is relatively new to the sport and despite that, he has truly achieved a lot. Despite Saunders being a world champion he’s someone who doesn’t get the recognition he deserves and is surely going to be the underdog for this fight.
