Today (May 7) marks the return of boxing’s pound-for-pound best, live from the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Canelo Alvarez (57-1-2, 39 KOs) conquered the super middleweight division in a tremendous four-fight run from late 2020 to 2021, and now the undisputed champion has his sights set on taking the WBA light heavyweight title away from Dmitry Bivol (19-0, 11 KOs), who has the technical ability and the size to possibly trouble the Mexican superstar more than other non-Gennadiy Golovkin opponents have managed in recent years. Alvarez is the sizeable (but not overwhelming) favorite over at DraftKings Sportsbook.
