Just like Plant, many other hotshots like Amir Khan and David Benavidez felt that this will be an easy win for the Mexican boxer. However, the unified lightweight champ, Teofimo Lopez, had a different notion pertaining to the predictions and analysis for the fight.
In an interaction with Fight Hub TV, he said, “It’s gonna be a turnaround. Canelo knows his distance, already knows the range with the small gloves and everything. So it’s gonna be a huge challenge for him to overcome.”
In the above video, even ‘The Baddest Man on the Planet’, Mike Tyson spilled some beans on this fight. He said, “I’d like to see him (Canelo) fight that shallow guy. That’s gonna be a good fight. I don’t think that guy’s strong enough, but I think that guy, he’s not afraid, he’s smart and he’ll put up a good fight to, whatever happens, happens!”
