P4P King Canelo Alvarez vows to craft his in-ring plans on the basis of Avni Yildirim’s fighting style on February 27th. Alvarez seems comfortable in launching a tactical performance, alongside being violent. So, his stance would depend on how Avni Yildirim’s reacts this weekend.
The Mexican superstar appears to expect a tough fight, as he envisioned Yildirim to come after his head. However, considering the in-ring circumstances, the fight may look different.
While several fans are thrilled to see them collide, Canelo Alvarez has recently opened up on his game plan in interaction with Behind The Gloves.

He said, “I always try to be patient, but it depends on what Yildirim is going to do. He is going to try to rip my head off. So, it’s going to depend on what he is trying to do.”
As Canelo Alvarez claims to wait for Yildirim’s in-ring tactics before launching his own, it is clear that he will dictate the pace of the fight. But boxing is an unpredictable sport, and witnessing major upsets are quite common to the fans.

Meanwhile, the fight would also see Alvarez’s WBA and WBC super-middleweight belts go on the line. So, it would further intensify the tale.
On bagging a win, Yildirim can be the new champion and can also replace Alvarez from a possible matchup against WBO champion Billy Joe Saunders in May. That said, the upcoming fight seems to be a must-win situation for both the pugilists.
