Former World Champion Sean Porter shared his thoughts on Saule Alvarez, and also explained why the Mexican will not be able to take revenge on Dmitry Bivol.

“I expected Canelo to dominate Golovkin. I think that these boxers are at different levels, but Saul did not show this. Alvarez's performances in this trilogy make me believe that he may not be as well-prepared as I would expect him to be in a rematch with Bivol.

Canelo is not as well prepared as he should be for a rematch with Dimitri. He had no backup plans for the fight, made no adjustments. Although I expected him to amend his plan and dominate Golovkin. But we did not see anything new from Saul.

Only one thing has changed - stamina. Alvarez is not ready to go 12 rounds. And you always need to prepare with 12 hard rounds, regardless of the opponent. If Canelo were in better shape, the fight would have ended ahead of schedule. After the Golovkin fight, I don't think Canelo will beat Bivol in a rematch. Although I used to think otherwise, ”Boxing News 24 quotes Porter.
