Saturday’s HBO Boxing PPV sees Canelo Alvarez taking on Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in a fight that Canelo’s team was soundly criticized for putting together. As we have drawn closer to fight time, what initially seemed like something of a blow-out is starting to feel like a closer fight. With that in mind, here are the latest odds, courtesy of Bovada:
Canelo Alvarez -650
Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. +425Many are looking at Chavez as something of a live dog here, as he has the size and power advantage. When motivated, Chavez has shown that he can be in there with the best in the division, but that “when motivated” is a huge caveat.
