Canelo Alvarez vows not to run from Christian Mbilli

Canelo Alvarez insists he won't back down against Christian Mbilli despite concerns over his stamina.

Saul Alvarez insists he won't back down from his scheduled fight against Christian Mbilli. The Mexican will face a tough, aggressive fighter on October 31, though Christian Mbilli's WBC title is on the line.

Christian Mbilli criticized Saul Alvarez 's fighting style following his loss to Terence Crawford.

“It was a very good fight. I don’t like when a boxer runs away. You see my style. I am Mexican style. I love Mexican style, and I don’t like when people run away. I like when a boxer comes to fight”

he told DAZN Boxing.

Saul Alvarez responded quickly and denied the accusations, saying he won’t need to do that in this fight. However, Saul Alvarez has recently shown problems with his stamina over twelve rounds on several occasions. Against Terence Crawford, Edgar Berlanga, and even Jaime Munguía, he often fought in short bursts and slowed down as the fight progressed. Christian Mbilli, with his rather aggressive style, is likely to test precisely this weakness. Saul Alvarez’s stamina should definitely be well-developed for this fight; otherwise, he could quickly run into trouble.

The referee could also play an equally important role, as clinches and resets would provide crucial recovery time for Saul Alvarez.

So, an exciting bout is coming up on the 31st. Who do you think will win in the end?

I think it’ll be a very exciting bout that goes the distance. However, I believe the pressure from Christian Mbilli will eventually become too much for Saul Alvarez to withstand. As I said, though, I’m really curious to see what actually happens.
