Round-by-Round: Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez vs. Christian Mbilli | PPV - 31 October 2026

[golden_labrador]

Canelo is such a boring fighter to watch

we'll always have the BJS fight though

[Taansend]

Very similar to most of Canelo's fights in the last 5 years.

Similar to the last few years of Floyds career.

They just know too much, don't take risks & pile up the points.

[Sendo Takeshi]

Fck both of them.

[Taansend]

It would be funny if Mbilli won by a wide UD

[JamesPhilips]

He truth is that Mbili is not that good as well

Who's better than Mbilli at 168? Not many can beat him.


107–101 Canelo

Well that just shows you how bad the division is. Mbili is extremely ordinary

[Sendo Takeshi]

Too little, too late by Mbilli..boring ass fight.
Got dominated by an old man.

[Heldenjaeger]

116–111 Canelo who's okay with losing the last round but hurt Mbilli in the last few seconds.

[JamesPhilips]

Yeah but even the he couldn’t out BJS over or KO him

[Kilburn]

Good statement from Canelo in the last round.

Very polished performance. Anyone waiting around wanting to make money off his name, may have to wait a while yet.

[unknownman79]

Another boring Canelo fight.

[JamesPhilips]

116–111 Canelo who's okay with losing the last round but hurt Mbilli in the last few seconds.

Are you joking? Mbili barely won a minute in the fight

[Taansend]

Did anyone see the Picasso fight?

What was it like?

[CaptainSpacerod]

Wide victory for Canelo but let’s have it right, Mbili is bog standard, he posed no more danger than John Ryder or William Scull did.

[JamesPhilips]

Mbili was awful and never took any risks. It was like he was a paid sparring partner. Awful fight. I can’t wait til Canelo retires for good

[Ruthless-RKO]

118-109 for Canelo Alvarez, who threw more combinations than we’ve seen in years. Lot of competitive rounds over the first half but Alvarez took control over the second with clean, precise counter punching. Christian Mbilli had some moments but expected more pressure & activity.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Official scorecards

115-112
116-111
117-110

All for your winner.

Saul Canelo Alvarez

There's the hate.

[handsofstone]

116-111 Alvarez, thought he was excellent for most part, counter punching was on point, defensively was sound, even on the ropes didn't take much clean, tucked up and rode the punches, he was getting home with some big right hands, and wicked body shots, Mbilli tried to put him under pressure but struggled to land anything of note, point off him in the 8th was terrible, Canelo's decision, Mbilli had a wee resurgence late on when Canelo's work rate dipped but Canelo had it in the bag, still life in the old dog yet

[Ruthless-RKO]

Usyk is an absolute G!

[Sendo Takeshi]

115-112 for Canelo..
Sometimes the do stuff like this and other times they are almost robbing guys who 10-2 Canelo..

[Taansend]

Canelo will probably next fight in May then again in September.

His options for May are.....

Iglesias - No chance
Sheeraz - Good chance
Martinez - Good chance
Bank/Alimkhanaly - OK chance of Bank/Slim chance of Alimkhanuly
Munguia - OK chance

Any others?

Bivol rematch.
Don't wanna see it, but could happen.
My number one fight is definitely Iglesias though..

He will fight again in Riyadh in 2027 Q1.

[Deserter]

Its all about timing, Mbilli might be too fresh, Canelo has never been one to waste shots but his output these days is minimal, if Mbilli works hard I fancy him

Canelo outlanded Crawford in 10 out of 12 rounds with power punches, he just doesn't throw his jab a lot. Canelo also threw more power punches than Crawford in 10 rounds, Crawford only threw more than Canelo in one round.

Interesting data

And clearly highlights the limits of supposedly objective data. Crawford controlled that fight and won a very clear victory. The above does nothing to change that.

Sorry what part do you disagree with?
