The next major boxing pay-per-view is set for Saturday, September 17th in Arlington, Texas, home of the NFL's Dallas Cowboys. On this Mexican Independence Day weekend, Canelo Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) will return to junior middleweight (154 lbs) and fight WBO champion Liam Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs).
We could talk about how Canelo and Golden Boy Promotions punted their WBC middleweight (160 lbs) title straight into the arms of Gennady Golovkin, instead of actually fighting him, hence this underwhelming fight, but that can wait, for we have the Canelo vs. Smith promo that you've all been clamoring for.
