After the Triple G fight which happened twice in 2017and 2018 respectively, after that, I did not anymore see a fight that I think interesting, I always thought that the Triple G fights was the best fights of his career and if he will not give Triple G a chance to fight him for the 3rd time, I think we will only see a low caliber boxers fighting Canelo until he retires.
We must understand that now boxing is treated as a business so instead of getting the more interesting fights right away promoters try to milk their fighters as much as they can before those big fights but the issue is that we do not get as good fights as we could get otherwise, so it is obvious that Canelo is going to choose fights in which there is a very low chance for him to lose, and a fight with GGG is not in his plans as many people believe he lost both of those fights. 
Topic: [Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs. Avni Yildirim - February 27 - page 6. (Read 1029 times)
This is a mandatory fight for Canelo before going to Billy Joe Saunders. Yildirim had a strong left hook and body shot technical but he had a weak defense either. because of that, he got KO in the last fight. Canelo had should know Yildirim uses an inside fight strategy where that makes it easy to KO-ing in the first round.
Seeing how Yildirim performed on his last fight, i think this would not go the distance. If the betting odds for Canelo to KO Avni inside the 6 rounds then i would go for it.
This is just some sort of a tune-up fight for Canelo before his showdown with Billy Joe Saunders in "Cinco de Mayo". Hope no untoward things will happen as to not derail this fight.
6 rounds is probably a max for Yildirim, especially if he will engage with Canelo. I guess I'll also go with the round 1-3 KO win by Canelo. This fight is just all about what round Yildirim get KO because as a fan of boxing, not a bias opinion, we already know Yildirim has no chance of winning.
and Conelo will still win the match against Yildirim which in my opinion is not a balanced opponent.

..... I am amazed on the height of Avni Yildirim which this point is his main advantage against Canelo.
This also makes him an easier target for the overhand right or left. Canelo's strategy will most likely pounce the body first before aiming for the head.Hats off to Yildirim but his only chance to win the fight is to run and pile up points. I doubt he has enough power in his punches to rock Canelo's chin. That guy is built like a tank.
Exactly, no one has touches that chin of Canelo, not even Golovkin who is know to have power. Yes, just like the Callum Smith fight, Canelo was at a disadvantage in height, but he targets the body and then the overhand was the killer punch.
This fight won't go to distance, either a ko/tko or the corner of Yildirim will throw the towel because it was a mismatch.

It will be an all too easy match for Canelo against a semi-unknown opponent Yildirim who hasn't been training for quite a while so out of shape, maybe he could have chosen a more challenging opponent
You don't need an analysis to figure who will win in this match we all know who is going to win the match but we can analyze what round will Canelo knock Avni Yildirim, this is a walk in the park for Canelo Alvarez, people are wondering why to take a very easy boxer to beat, there are active boxers there who can go all out in the ring and offer excitement to the fight, it's a boring fight when there is a mismatch.
Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua).
Avni Yildirim is one very boxer if he upset the best boxer right now. But I don't think he has enough tools unless a lucky punch.
Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies 
Sooner or later those sport bookies are going to see that something is wrong with the betting trend and will try to investigate it. And it doesn't make sense for Canelo or his team to do that, unless the supposedly boxing mafia is still alive up to this day, but I highly doubt it.
As everyone here is saying, even Tim Bradley agree with us:
Tim Bradley: Canelo Not Facing The Best Right Now, Yildirim is a Punching Bag, I'm Not Paying!
https://www.boxingscene.com/tim-bradley-canelo-not-facing-best-right-now-yildirim-punching-bag-im-not-paying--154880
To be fair with Canelo, he is honouring the mandatory challenger, and I would say that this division is weak as well. That's why the level of opposition is below par at Canelo's level. David Benavidez or Billy Joe Saunders are also going to be an easy fight fo Canelo as well.

"In a fight like this, Canelo should look very, very impressive, and he should win this fight in spectacular fashion. It should be a highlight-reel knockout. SportsCenter top 10, top 10 KOs in all of boxing by the end of 2021 when all is said and done. He can raise his profile and his standing with a KO win, because that's what a lot of fans want to see," Bradley said to ESPN.
"Yildirim should get stopped before Round 6. He's a mandatory challenger who deserves to fight Canelo, according to the sanctioning body. But at this point we know what these sanctioning bodies are about. Moving guys into certain places that can benefit their pockets, their franchise and improve the way their marquee fighters look. Why isn't a guy like [David] Benavidez, who had that title and was one of the youngest guys ever to win that same title, in line for a chance to try to win it back instead?"

If this is the mandatory so be it, Canelo should have an easy time against Yildirim. And Yildirim is a win-win situation here, Canelo is the cash cow now so he is lucky, like winning a lottery, and then *potentially* upset Canelo.
Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.
This is in fact the mandatory fight so there is nothing Canelo can do if he wants to retain all of the titles that he has, it is being reported that he doesn't want this fight but what can you do? So it is obvious that he does not see his opponent as a threat as he is willing to take him so closely after his more recent fight and that he doesn't expect to receive any damage either because most likely were going to see Canelo fighting in May once again.Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.
Indeed, from the word itself, mandatory is a must. If he will have a fight this may that would fit on the celebration which is the "Cinco de Mayo", I believe there are a lot of big fights on that schedule in the past for Mexican fighters as that to celebrate the occasion as well.
Biggest upset possible if Yildirim will beat Canelo here as the way I see it, it seems like people does not see a chance that Yildirim can beat Canelo despite of his 21-2 record.
I also know that Yildirim alias is "Mr Robot", I wonder why he is called that name, have not seen his highlights yet, I gotta watch to know. lol

There'a a big mismatch here, an elite guy who's just coming out an impressive win against one of the best champion in the division, and one unknown guy, who has been absent in the ring for two years who been knock out, there are better guys in the division that deserves the spot or also a champion who wants a piece of Canelo Alvarez.

Would be upset of the year if Avni Yildirim wins (like no one believed in Ruiz, when he TKO Joshua). Or Canelo would bet on his lost and bankrupt some bookies
I don't think an upset will happen here because Canelo is wisely picking his opponent and even some of the boxing analyst didn't even give Yildirim a chance on this fight.
Tim Bradley is right, the level of opposition Canelo had in his last few fights is bad and it seems that he is avoiding the best fight that suited him.

This is just getting his mandatory fight out of the way and I don't expect Canelo to have any problems with the Turkish fighter.
It's just mandatory, well, true it could only be punching bag, we have a choice not to watch this fight but let's expect the next fight to come is a big fight. Canelo is a champion, he is proven to be one of the best in the business, so I don't think he will still duck a good opponent as he has no undefeated record to protect anymore.

This is probably the upset of the year since the odds for Canelo Alvarez is already -5000 or 1.02, while in the fight between Ruiz Jr and AJ, the odds of AJ was -2500, lower than this fight obviously.

This would not happen, if he would do it, it should be in an opponent that people think has chance of beating him, so people will not doubt and investigate him.

The problem with Joshua that time is that he overlooks Andy Ruiz, he is going to the media and talking about his next big fight against Wilder and Fury that time, and he paid a big price for that, he learned his lessons and win the second fight. Canelo and his team are better than this, they are taking one fight at a time that the chance of an upset is very slim.

Not expecting an upset here, of course it can happen, but this version of Canelo I would say in unbeatable. No one can even touch this guy. He is in the prime of his career.
Looks like Canelo didn't take any damage in the Callum Smith fight, as he is ready to go to fight again in three months time, I reckon it will be like 1.1x odds for Canelo here.
That's what I saying, supposedly to be his toughest opponent, but look what happen, he didn't get any damage and can go active in two months to fight. And at 168 lbs, he will clean up this division whenever he want to.
I agree, it seems that Canelo is getting better every fight and I think it has something to do with his coach Reynoso who really took Canelo to the next level and becoming p4p best in the last 2 years.
Well, in paper it look like Callum Smith will be a big threat to Canelo, natural 168 lbs champion with power and has height advantage. Canelo negate everything and win impressively. So yes, this is going to be like a walk in the park for Canelo and yeah, the odds could be lower than 1.1x, could be 1.0x when the betting odds open. Probably it's best to bet by per round, the odds might be attractive at least.
The odds are as follows according to . https://bettinginsiderjournal.com/boxing-odds-for-canelo-alvarez-vs-avni-yildirim/
-5000 is equivalent to 1.02, so you are right mate, no one would take that 1.02, there should be more odds available like the handicap betting odds so betting on this fight will be more exciting.
