Canelo Alvarez will go to battle against the WBA light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol.

Canelo Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol will be a very intriguing match up to behold. Both men are extremely talented boxers in the prime of their careers. Alvarez will be the lighter man moving up in weight to take on the talented Russian champion. Let’s take a quick look to see how these two match up.

Canelo Alvarez

Canelo Alvarez continues to hunt down more belts and build an insane legacy as he faces off against WBA (super) light heavyweight champion Dmitry Bivol. It’s a truly intriguing match up that will see Alvarez test the limits of his abilities against a larger opponent.

The ever ambitious Mexican boxer has tremendous power in both hands. Canelo Alvarez is a born and bred pressure fighter who excels in the short and mid range. He’s an excellent counter puncher who can use contact blocks or slick head movement to defend against opponent’s punches, returning fire before his foes can return to their guard. Look for Alvarez to test Bivol’s body throughout the twelve round affair.

Dmitry Bivol

Where Canelo Alvarez is a master of multiple ranges, Dmitry Bivol is the quintessential outside boxer. He likes to collect data with the jab and move around the ring before launching himself into his patented jab-cross combination. The WBA light heavyweight champion will also be the taller and naturally bigger fighter and will likely use this to his advantage.

Expect Dmitry Bivol to utilize his jab and movement playing matador to Alvarez’s bull. He’ll have to do his best to stay off the ropes, keep Alvarez guessing with feints, and keep the Mexican superstar at the end of his reach. It will be no easy task, but Bivol does have the kind of game that could give Canelo Alvarez plenty of trouble.
