A boxer from the Saúl category has the upper hand. He can go up or down to face someone of a higher level
Last Saturday I had to broadcast the NBA game between Mavericks and Nets. The game drained completely in the fourth quarter, as Dallas clearly beat Brooklyn, which didn’t have two of the top three players. Well, I thought I will see a lot of the Canelo Álvarez fight. Illusive of me …
I barely ate I switched the television to fighting to see the images that Turkey’s Avni Yildirim would no longer fight in the fourth round. The man has taken all the blows. As they say, I no longer felt the hard, but the thick. Canelo discreetly celebrated and There was no other option than to change him permanently in the León-Cruz Azul.
I consider myself an admirer of Canelo. I believe getting to the top takes a lot of work, sacrifice, a lot of talent and a lot of mindset. Saul has all that, and whoever doesn’t want to see it is a real fool. But you don’t have to be an expert in boxing – I’m not, not even close – to realize that the rival Canelo got in Miami this Saturday doesn’t live up to expectations, the podium let alone a world champion . like the boxer from Guadalajara.
I read many who excuse Canelo with the phrase “he’s not to blame, he was the obligatory challenger.” It’s not like that. A boxer from Saúl’s category has the upper hand. He can go up or down to face someone of a higher level. A contract of more than 300 million for television rights requires a more even recording. If Saúl doesn’t want to hear the name Gennady Golovkin, fine … let him find more competitive challengers to take on him. A champion is the belt, but it’s also the way you endorse your title fight for fight.
And it’s that it wasn’t even enough here for the controversy against Kovalev, Callum Smith or Daniel Jacobs. This Saturday was a bad joke, and Canelo knows it. Hopefully your corner, which is now also the same representation, will safeguard your interests by raising the bar. Canelo deserves it, and also the millions who follow him.
Must be like this. At least dinner tastes like something.
