Comments Thread For: Yildirim Trainer Joel Diaz: Avni Has Transformed, He's Going...

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

Popular consensus is that Canelo Alvarez is expected to deliver a decisive beating when he faces mandatory challenger Avni Yildirim. Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs) trainer Joel Diaz thinks his fighter will thwart the WBA and WBC super middleweight champion Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) in a coming out party Feb. 27 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Yeah, unless Avni has learned to slip or block punches with anything other than his skull, he's going to get battered and beaten badly by Canelo.

It takes more than a few months to make the adjustments and improvements necessary for Yildrim to win this fight. I don't think it is in the cards. But Rahman did KO Lennox Lewis, Douglas KOed Tyson, Ruiz destroyed Joshua and the "Cinderella Man" defeated Max Baer. Who knows maybe Yildrim gets lucky.

I see Yildrim making a lesser of Oscar Valdez beating the odds...

The odds on Canelo by late KO pay good enough.

If only this guy managed to resist until that point, one could even try...

I wanna hear what type of game plan Joel has . if he pressure fights then canelo counters if he boxes then its a easy ud for cinammon toast crunch . the only way is if he power pressures like maidana but he might not have the gas tank for it . nevertheless its gonna be a interesting night come Saturday .

From what I have seen in their training. Diaz has yildrim doing lots of head movement. If the game plan is to box Canelo he’s gonna get knocked out. They plan to frustrate Canelo by yildrim being hard to hit with lots of head movement and dance around.
