However, to think about Masvidal’s words, when Mayweather fought Pacquiao, ‘TBE’ was 38, and Pacquiao, 36. The time when Mayweather fought Alvarez, the former was 36, but Alvarez was only 23 years old. There have been so many speculations over Alvarez’s level of maturity and ring IQ when he stepped in the ring with ‘TBE’. And speaking of Asakura, the Japanese entered the fight with an MMA record of 3 losses and 16 wins. In addition, he lacked a solid background when it came to boxing.
