Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is on a quest to become one of the greatest boxers in the world. He is looking to add another title to his collection. On May 7, he will face off against Dmitry Bivol for Bivol’s WBA light heavyweight title at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
The four-division champion unified the super middleweight division in just 11 months’ time. His last fight was a win over IBF champion Caleb Plant last November. Since suffering the only loss of his career to Floyd Mayweather in 2013, Canelo is 15-0-1.
Bivol on packing a good punch
“Of course I have good power because I’m light heavyweight and I have 19 wins, and I have the power. But I didn’t use it every time, I don’t use it every time. If I see I could punch harder, I use my power, but most of the fight I like to more boxing, and looking to use my skills and looking for to hit the big punch.
“Of course I will use every good sides, the power, speed, movement — everything, I should use (to beat Canelo). If I see I could hit him harder, I will do it.”
