Saul "Canelo" Alverez (45-1-1, 32KOs) isn't concerned with being the betting favorite to win the upcoming clash with WBC middleweight champion Miguel Cotto. He's placing his full trust in his training.

The former WBC/WBA super welterweight champion, Canelo, recently spoke with Rigo Cervantez about his important commitment against Miguel Angel Cotto of Puerto Rico, on November 21st at the Mandalay Bay Hotel in Las Vegas.

Canelo is considered by several specialists and some boxing fans as the favorite, but regarding this statement the Mexican superstar commented:

“I can't trust in that, I don’t trust in bets. I only care about training 100% and continuing working hard. I will continue my job as I have done for being ready for my commitment with Cotto.”

Regarding his fight, Saul commented that Cotto is a complete and seasoned fighter, and strong. So, for that reason he's focused working on his power, speed, combinations and defensive skills,

Puerto Rican and Mexican fighters have always offered amazing fights. Canelo, aware of the historic commitment,  pledged: 

“Without any doubt, I know I have a great responsibility for all those great fights between Mexicans and Puerto Ricans. I think that is here, inside the gym where you take responsibility for the commitment.”
