Canelo vs Mbilli is an interesting fight. The canadian comes forward and that suits Canelo, but it will also test his will and stamina, and tell us if he is ready to retire.

Think Canelo will surprisingly rock Mibilli early with a counter or two while trying to fend off by pressing back. Then will fade in the middle rounds. Then Mbilli will catch him more and more with clean punches.

Lester Martinez outpaced Mbilli, because he has the physicality and reach. To pull it off. He has better stamina than Mbilli unlike Alvarez.
