By Jake Donovan - Did you even have a clue what you wanted to do in life when you were 20 years old?
Undefeated contender Saul “Canelo” Alvarez is still seven months shy of his 21st birthday, yet already knows what he wants – and doesn’t care who is in his way in pursuit of his dreams.
“I want to fight everybody.”
That is the simple answer offered by the 20-year old Mexican wunderkind, who is otherwise fully focused on his super welterweight clash with Lovemore N’Dou this weekend at Estadio Beto Avila in Veracruz, Mexico.
There’s a special feel that comes with this fight, thanks to a deal arranged by promoter Golden Boy Promotions have this bout air live on American airwaves. On the heels of securing an output deal with Mexican network giant Televisa, the California-based promotional outfit convinced HBO to carry the bout live on their Latino feed (Saturday, HBO Latino, 11:30PM).
What that means is, it will no longer cost American fight fans the price of a pay-per-view purchase to get a glimpse of the fastest rising young star in the sport today. For at least this weekend, the revolution will be televised, free of charge.
Alvarez (34-0-1, 26KO) is already a massive draw in his homeland of Mexico, but now embraces the challenge of becoming a superstar on both sides of the border. [Click Here To Read More]
