The knockout performance delivered by Eleider Alvarez over the weekend was a fitting launch to what he hopes will be shot at a second light heavyweight title reign. However, the question remains whether it will shake up the ratings enough to get him to that point. Alvarez—a 35-year old Colombian now based out of Montreal, Canada—returned to the win column with a highlight reel 7th round knockout of Michael Seals last Saturday in Verona, New York. The now-viral moment aired live on ESPN, which one week prior served as the network host to Joe Smith Jr’s 10-round win over Jesse Hart in a battle of former title challengers.
