Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez has predicted fireworks when he looks to relieve Britain's Liam Smith of his WBO light-middleweight title on September 17 in Texas.

Golden Boy Promotions’ namesake chief executive reiterated what his vice president had previously said — Canelo Alvarez could go on to face Billy Joe Saunders after Canelo’s upcoming bout with Liam Smith.

They changed their minds. Without uttering those exact words, that’s essentially how Oscar De La Hoya explained Wednesday the decision for Canelo Alvarez to face Liam Smith in his next fight instead of Gennady Golovkin.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez (47-1-1, 33KOs) has revealed his upcoming fight with Liam Smith is likely to be his last at super welterweight. Alvarez challenges for Smith’s WBO World Title at the AT&T Stadium in Dallas with a chance to secure another belt at the weight after previously holding the WBC and WBA versions of the Title.

As previously reported on BoxingScene.com, Golden Boy Promotions is expecting a very packed house when Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez returns to the ring at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas. He will challenge undefeated Liam Smith for the WBO junior middleweight title on September 17th, with HBO Pay-Per-View carrying the event.

Less than a month remains before Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez will return to the ring at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, home of the Dallas Cowboys. He will challenge undefeated Liam Smith for the WBO junior middleweight title on September 17th, with HBO Pay-Per-View carrying the event.

Britain's WBO world super-welterweight champion Liam Smith has said he's going to make a name for himself when he faces Canelo Alvarez in September. Speaking at a London press conference today, the Liverpool ace said he will try and knock out Canelo Alvarez when the two collide for his WBO World Title on Mexican Independence Day in Dallas, Texas.

LOS ANGELES - On Mexican Independence Day Weekend, Saturday, September 17, 2016 former two-division world champion and Mexican superstar, Canelo Alvarez (47-1-1, 33 KOs) and WBO Junior Middleweight World Champion Liam "Beefy" Smith (23-0-1, 13 KOs) will face off in a world championship showdown at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

After Canelo knocked out James Kirkland in Houston last year, he was clear that he wanted to come to Texas at least once a year from then on out. Canelo drew more than 33,000 people in Houston after drawing more than 45,000 in San Antonio for his fight with Austin Trout. It’s clear that Texans love Canelo, but working with Jerry Jones and the Cowboys will take it to another level.
