Canelo Alvarez has reminded fans of his electric hand speed ahead of his fight with Dmitry Bivol tonight.
Canelo will be going toe-to-toe with Bivol, who has held the WBA light-heavyweight title since 2017. It’s yet another self-assigned challenge for the Mexican, who appears intent on cementing himself as the pound-for-pound king.
Bivol is a great fighter and a tough cookie for Canelo to crack, but the Mexican has stepped into the ring with better opponents and come out triumphant. The fact of the matter is that his boxing skillset is currently unmatched in the sport.
