Former WBO cruiserweight champion Johnny Nelson believes WBA Super light heavyweight title holder Dmitry Bivol will not be able to defeat the absolute world champion in the second middle division Saul Alvarez.
“You know, I'm a big fan of Bivol. I saw this guy live, and he's on fire. But I think that Alvarez is too tough for him. It's a good fight, but I think Canelo is exploiting any of Bivol's weaknesses. Dmitry is a great boxer, but I think that the great, outstanding fighter among the two of them is Canelo Alvarez.
There is no one who will be more difficult for Canelo. If he stays at this weight, then there are no such fighters. If Canelo rises even higher, then we will talk, but now he is the leader, and I don’t see others, ”- Johnny Nelson in an interview with the Pro Boxing Fans YouTube channel.
Recall that the fight between Bivol and Alvarez should take place on May 7 in Las Vegas.
