This upcoming Saturday will be an exciting moment in boxing again.

Canelo Alvarez versus Jermell Charlo (12 rounds) Super Middleweight Champion Title.
When: September 30 - 8:00 PM
Where: Las Vegas - T-Mobile Arena
PPV: Showtime

I really wanted to see Canelo win this fight and wait for Crawford to climb weight and have a huge match of the decade against him in the US. That would be one of the greatest achievements ever recorded in boxing history if Crawford managed to defeat Canelo. Because many have speculated that's not possible because Canelo is too much for him. therefore, if he proves them wrong, then he will earn the best of all boxers in his time. By the way, he also needs to beat Spence again in order for this fight to have a high chance of happening.
I see, and before it can take that fight to happen Crawford needs to beat Spence again and as well with Canelo he needs to win his fight for the timing to be great and to create more hypes for both champs, more hypes means more interest from all the sides of this sport/business, and for sure what to expect if there are many interested viewers and gamblers, it will convert to more money for everyone behind this possible upcoming fight.

Only if the deal will come to take place, still a lot of things to expect better to wait for any update about it.

He will still be the crowd favorite, and that's why he was called the cash cow because he can bring fans to the sit and watch his fight. Although is opponent is also a unified titleist if I'm not mistaken, but it was 2 division down.

And so if Canelo won this fight then maybe we can see him and Crawford at 168 lbs next year to be the biggest fights.

For Zhang vs Joyce, Joyce stands no chance at Zhang got powe on both hands. The one that knockout Joyce is Zhang's right, which is very uncanny since his power is in left as he is a southpaw fighter.

Canelo Alvarez versus Jermell Charlo (12 rounds) Super Middleweight Champion Title.
When: September 30 - 8:00 PM
Where: Las Vegas - T-Mobile Arena
PPV: Showtime


Here is the whole main card.
Jesus Alejandro Ramos versus Erickson Lubin - Super Welterweight
Yordenis Ugas versus Mario Barrios - Welterweight – Interim WBC Welterweight Title
Elijah Garcia versus Jose Armando Resendiz - Middleweight

I am quite surprised that Yordenis Ugas is back because he has been gone for over a year. I thought he would continue the rest until retirement. His last fight was against Errol Spence when he tried to unify the titles but lost in the process. That was back in April of 2022. He may be a bit seasoned at 37 years old but we will see if he still has that punch.

Sure history repeats itself and this fight for sure it was another win for Zhilei Zhang Joe Joyce stood no chance against him, and watching the fight I noticed the movement of both fighters Joe Joyce was really slow moving even though his punching was pretty much can easily get evade by Zhilei Zhang easily as well Zhilei Zhang surely has the speed and power that he can not have because Joe Joyce is on a slow motion and for sure many would say that the 1st match was not a fluke, that Zhilei Zhang really won that fight for sure Joe Joyce doesn't have any head movement while Zhilei Zhang has a durability that Joyce can not penetrate,

Bivol I do agree that he seems to duck him, he doesn't want to fight him at 175 lbs because he is at a disadvantage basing on the result of the first fight. For Benavidez, Canelo says that he hasn't face anyone yet to be sort of worthy of Canelo's time so he just ignore him for the meantime.

However, it is just ironic though that he doesn't want to fight big fighters are 168 lbs - 175 lbs and yet goes for a super welterweight at best in Jermell Charlo and then have him to 2 weight class to fight him. So yeah, maybe at this point of his career, Canelo is looking for less risk but bigger rewards in terms of paycheck but not legacy.

Possible, as he knows that his time is already nearing to his retirement and to preserve your value in this line of business/sport you need to keep winning, less risk but fruitful money benefits, wise mindset from a fighter who bring lots of sale when making a fight, though not just for him but also for an opponent that he will deal his fight, sure profits just be inside sharing the ring with Canelo.

More on the money side as he already got his name on top, now he's just protecting what he needs to protect to keep his name up
and still gaining that hype in each fight that he may take.


He already knows that money will always follow him because he got his own country who will back him but he needed someone who also got a big name to make the equation more better and fit as that will generate him more profits compared if he will just have any fight against unknown boxers, like John Ryder for example who doesn't really ring a bell to any of our ears. I mean, it's quite obvious already since he's been cracked already and boxers will likely approach him to do the same thing.

Canelo has already had a huge contract in the past so I guess money won't be problem for him at this point.
It's the quality of opponents that he has face, when he try to step up and face Bivol at LHW it was a different story for him as he lost the fight.
And so they carefully chooses a opponent in John Ryder so that he can win and be like a tune up fight, but Ryder is very strong and was not intimated by Canelo.
Now actually faces a 154 lbs, who needs to jump to his weight class 2x, so again, careful planning as they are looking for Canelo to win again.

I guess Canelo really mature as this point, or his adviser, Eddy Reynoso really knows that it might be difficult for Canelo to beat and so they chase fighters that is good as you have put in, but the risk is very small, that they think they can beat like Charlo here.

Although Canelo said he thinks he can still fight and have like 3-5 years in him, I think he is losing that step. Just like his fight with John Ryder, a lesser known opponent, but for sure might have accepted a 90/10 split (I only speculated here), fight him in Mexico. And yet Canelo can't knock him out for good.

I see the same with him, even he believes that he can still stay with that said time frame but the quality of fight I mean the execution of his skills might not be the same, maybe he or his camp understand that and they are into a kind of fight where the chance of winning still high even it's not the same type of challenger where fans and viewers always expect from him.

A fight still a fight I guess, and as long as it can convert money, then the business will continue, though still hoping that he might be able to bring a decent challenger and showcase his skills to hype the enjoyment of the fans.

You should complete your analysis hehehe. I reckon Canelo wants to fight someone with a big name but also someone who Canelo knows who will not win against him in the ring. If he only wanted the big name who will generate him with much more profits, certainly this name would be Bivol to fight him in his weight division in super middleweight. However, Canelo does not want to risk the championship hehehehe.

Sure Canelo Alvarez doesn't want another losing record Canelo wants a fight but doesn't want to lose, and he will not go with the Bivol fight because that was a risk for him and a risk on his record I really think that it is not hard to cherry pick a fight but for sure many people doesn't want that and many can tell that it was just a picked fight for sure, but it is up to them lf what kind of fight they want

And yet Canelo can't knock him out for good.

For sure his losses were the cause of a boxer's maturity and of his loss, and he surely learned how to make his losses into a fighting spirit so he would never lose again, but for sure if a boxer had said that he could still fight I think that he can surely still fight just like what Manny Pacquiao is saying right now that he wants to participate in the Olympics for boxing for sure he will be using his ounce of strength is surely performing and giving his best that is why he is still open with a exhibition matches for sure,

^^Zhang should have the momentum here, he really messed up Joyce on their first fight. And although he is already a ageing boxer, he still has that power specially in his left because as I have said, it really damages the face of Joyce and he hasn't had any response during that fight.

I haven't check the odds though, maybe Joyce is still the favorite but it should be very close, unlike the first fight wherein I think Joyce is a huge favorite. So it's redeem time for Joyce or Zhang making it 2-0 and it's not going to be good for Joyce in this division.

For sure not be a good one for Joe Joyce if he loses again in this fight what interested me in this fight was the fact that the fight was not really expected by the camp of joyce thinking that this fight would be an easy win for their boxer, and this kind of fight have become more satisfying and interesting than what they are saying about Joyce is easily winning their 1st match, which is not what they had plan, and they want Joyce to not have any more losses and to redeem him in this fight


It's a very close matchup. On the sportsbook I checked, here are the betting odds for the moneyline:

Zhang: 1.84
Joyce: 1.93

It appears to be almost a 50/50 situation, with the bookies factoring in their margin. While Zhang may have the momentum, these odds indicate the respect bookies have for Joyce, suggesting they still consider the first fight a significant upset win for Zhang.

For sure the bookies have respect for Joyce because of the odds, maybe they are trying to put up Joyce's confidence for sure, and certainly, he will train in this fight so for sure bookies are not shutting the possibility for Joe Joyce getting his revenge for sure this is really interesting for Bookies aswell as for how they are making their odds and now that Joyce know Zhang's power he will not underestimating him for sure, so this is going to be like I said an interesting fight,

Do you guys think that those people who are influencers turned boxers sometimes do not get the recognition or the appreciation that they should get, just because they already had a platform? Sometimes I think those people who are influencer and trying to fight does not get people to look at them seriously.

It is also actually a really good idea to support Inoue. I think he is definitely going to do it correctly. Don’t get me wrong. The choice is definitely hard. But I think he is the better one in this comparison.

Influencers who became boxers don't get much recognition from real boxing fans because they have not earned it. Jake Paul, who is the most famous of these influencers, turned pro almost 4 years ago and his only win against a fighter with a winning record was against a nearly 50 year old Anderson Silva. These fighters don't take the sport seriously. As long as they can get easy money based on their fame we will continue to see these farcical cherry-picked fights.
If the Paul brothers are a recognition of what they can do, the influencers who suddenly become boxers, well I admire their ability to do so for one of the most difficult and tough sports in the world, the one who gets into boxing knows that the risk is quite strong, well it is a high risk sport and that anyone cannot do it, in fact there has been a lot of talk about these things, when I was practicing this sport, there was a lot of talk about genetics, there are people who are born with genetics for certain sports, among the very hard sports that for me are contact, cycling, they say that these types of people have hearts in a way that resists all these things, and people who have tried to practice it, well they can't because their The heart is not adapted for this sport, especially for cycling, which is also very demanding. In this order of ideas, we could think that things in boxing, with influencers, and with the other things they want to face, are something daring, Because you may have the talent but the body is something else, the body is that it needs a lot of training, especially to resist the blows that are quite strong.

For me, an influencer who later transforms into a boxer seems fine to me, it's not bad, not everyone does it, nor are they measured, in the case of Canelo who for me is an influencer in all his experience, for My name is first a boxer then an influencer, it goes in that order, it is different from first being an influencer and then a boxer, because the danger is imminent.

The order of things is whether it's an influencer or a boxer, both, for me it doesn't matter, if the boxer as such is good, then you have to accept things as they are, I'm not much of an influencer, currently there are many, there Luis Enrigque is there when he was in the world, something that I didn't even see half Live because I don't like him or anything, in the case of boxers things change, they can talk about their fights and give more details that I don't understand at all. plain view.

He already knows that money will always follow him because he got his own country who will back him but he needed someone who also got a big name to make the equation more better and fit as that will generate him more profits compared if he will just have any fight against unknown boxers, like John Ryder for example who doesn't really ring a bell to any of our ears. I mean, it's quite obvious already since he's been cracked already and boxers will likely approach him to do the same thing.

For sure Canelo Alvarez will surely want a fight that could attain him a big amount of money, and I think that he will not satisfied anymore when he deals with John Ryder again, and for sure his home country will likely back him up in what he needs and sure his fellow Mexican's will surely supports him, for Canelo Alvarez he needs a bigger fight now because he is now at 33 for sure he can  get bigger fights until he hits 40 so he surely needed bigger fights until he retires,


Zhang vs Joyce actually going to be an interesting fight. I actually do not know which one is going to win this fight, to be honest. A lot of people are saying that Joe Joyce is going to win this fight. But I personally think that Zhang might actually be able to win the fight, again. Sure he is a little older, but I don't think that it's going to affect him too much. Both of them are definitely really good. I personally am going to support Zhang in this fight. But it is surely going to be a knockout to end this fight in my opinion. Not much to differentiate them from each other on paper though.

For sure Zhilei Zhang is now 40 years old but for this kind of age I think Zhilei Zhang is still faster and much stronger than Joe Joyce for sure this is their 1st fight but I can not say about their 2nd fight if it's going to be the same as what happened in their 1st match but for sure Zhilei Zhang is just a cherry pick fight for Joe Joyce but for sure this is an interesting fight because of that and likely to say Joe Joyce is now 38 years old he is more than looking much older than Zhang for sure, as for me asian when getting older tend to be having advantage with power of is not ripped by their age for sure, so this is an interesting fight for me, as instead of a Cherry Picked fight it become a bad blood fight for sure,

With his charm and the way he bring the fight in the eyes of the crowd I agree with your statement that he knew it already that money will come up chasing him when he set a fight, and I also follow your statement in terms of getting an opponent that will equal or maybe on his same level to make it more profitable, a title contender or a good belt challenger that will also bring the hypes for the fans, the more entertaining they bring the more money that they can convert.

Bivol I do agree that he seems to duck him, he doesn't want to fight him at 175 lbs because he is at a disadvantage basing on the result of the first fight. For Benavidez, Canelo says that he hasn't face anyone yet to be sort of worthy of Canelo's time so he just ignore him for the meantime.

However, it is just ironic though that he doesn't want to fight big fighters are 168 lbs - 175 lbs and yet goes for a super welterweight at best in Jermell Charlo and then have him to 2 weight class to fight him. So yeah, maybe at this point of his career, Canelo is looking for less risk but bigger rewards in terms of paycheck but not legacy.

Possible, as he knows that his time is already nearing to his retirement and to preserve your value in this line of business/sport you need to keep winning, less risk but fruitful money benefits, wise mindset from a fighter who bring lots of sale when making a fight, though not just for him but also for an opponent that he will deal his fight, sure profits just be inside sharing the ring with Canelo.

That's why Canelo is the cash cow of boxing, even if he lost to Bivol already, he has been the most sought after fighters above 147 lbs. Guys like Charlo, who is lucky to have land a fight with them and then David Benavidez are also looking to fight him.

More on the money side as he already got his name on top, now he's just protecting what he needs to protect to keep his name up
and still gaining that hype in each fight that he may take.

It might just be a couple more fights for Canelo, as he might be feeling that old age might have caught up with him. And so with that, he really be looking for like a $50-$100 Million per fight. So that when he retire, he will have a good life and his family are not going to be poor.
