Saul last stepped inside the boxing ring in November 2019, against Sergey Kovalev. The fight progressed well for both the fighters but Canelo had an upper hand throughout the battle. While the fans expected the fight to be a 12-round rally, Alvarez stunned everybody by landing a devastating KO on Kovalev.
He stuck his opponent with a huge left hand to the face coupled with a quick right hand to stop him in round 11. Post this win, he added another feather to his cap by bagging the WBO light heavyweight title.

Many boxing fans presume that Callum Smith will be the toughest test to date for Saul. He has the advantage over Alvarez in height (6’3”) and reach (78”). Canelo has been out of action for almost a year now. Hence, confronting someone like the undefeated Smith will be a tough job.
However, considering Canelo’s sublime skill set, there is no opponent in the world that can hamper his extensive boxing run. Over the years he has developed a style difficult to beat. In order to break his defense, Smith will have to dig in more and set him up for his punches.
