the boxing scene pauses claimed that canelo's career long practice of sanctioning body is ignoring his actions which in his view endanger the Integrity of the sport continued with all of canelo's talent and the knowledge that these titles are tainted I think the organizations will shield him until he retires following the international boxing federation's decision to strip Canelo Alvarez of his title because he refused to take part in a required contest against William skele Beneva Sr said these things Canelo maintained that skull wasn't a worthy opponent but Jose benovitz Senor defended

combatant although belanga is clearly thrilled to be fighting Canelo for the super middleweight titles on September 14th at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas this dream match might seem more like a difficult task given that he will be facing one of the biggest names in boxing Alvarez Hearn the head of matchroom boxing and a banga promoter feels his boxer is prepared to seize this opportunity even though the odds are not in his favor you never know if you're ready for a guy like Canelo Alvarez until you enter the ring Hearn said to dong this is due to the fact that the elite banga is ready for combat in sea war 14 which sets Puerto Rico against Mexico when belanga defeated padri m Qi of Ireland in just six rounds in February of last year he demonstrated that he was a viable Contender his commanding Victory elevated him to the wba's mandatory Challenger in the 168 pound division despite the cancellation of scheduled bounce against Christian Emily of France and high moner of Mexico

crafty approach to challenge canelo's dominance according to Hearn there isn't much of a difference between the two boxes Edgar could have been able to buy a mja or MB Billy he surmised but those were
