The top pound-for-pound fighter in the world and unified Super Middleweight champion, Canelo Alvarez, will return to action Saturday to defend his WBC and WBA world titles against WBO Super Middleweight champion Billy Joe Saunders. The fight will take place at AT&T Stadium in Arlington at approximately 11 p.m. ET on DAZN and will be a Alvarez's third fight in six months.
Alvarez (55-1-2, 36 KO) has already cemented himself as the best fighter of the post Floyd Mayweather era of boxing. He has won belts in four different weight divisions and has been a unified champion in three divisions.
Saunders (30-0, 14 KO) has also been dominant in his career albeit against lesser competition in comparison to Alvarez. The southpaw has also fought outside of his native United Kingdom twice in his career (in Canada vs. David Lemieux and in Los Angeles vs. Marcelo Coceres).
Still, oddsmakers see Canelo as the clear favorite with BetMGM listing at -500 to win outright and +100 to win by knockout. The odds on the fight to got the distance are -120 on both sides and the over/under is set at 11 rounds with the juice on the over.
For his career, Alvarez has respectable knockout rate — he's posted an 63.1% KO percentage through 58 career fights — with six of those stoppage wins coming in the 10th round or later in 12 round fights.
