Chris Mannix (Canelo hater) picks Mbilli by decision. Big surprise...

I’m surprised so many people have the African winning against Canelo. I think Alvarez’s experience will tell though Mbilli is in great shape
Canelo is a huge betting favorite, I think some fans just get carried away by hate when it comes to Canelo.
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

I’ve no hatred for Canelo, I was glad he beat Golovkin.
Mbilli is a handful at this stage though surely?

Yeah but I can’t see the judges giving him a decision if it’s vaguely close

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.

Canelo looking pretty sharp in the opener, Mbilli a tad crude but things just warming up.

10–9 to Canelo after round 1, close. Mbilli is nervous and got hit with two hard jabs which surprised him. Mbilli also landed two low blows.

Commentators just claimed Canelo got a close decision over Derevyanchenko. They never fought.

19-19, Canelo with good defence but Mbilli throws more. Close again.

Canelo apparently suffering no loss of appetite for the game judging by the first 2 rounds. Looks good.
Second half could be interesting.

29–28 to Mbilli after 3. Most is missing but Canelo gave him a few free hits to the body.

38–38, Mbilli already looks tired. He tries to move more than usual, don't think that's a good idea.

Right. He’s strong and has a great chin. But just doesn’t seem to take risks. Unlike the top guys in the 80s like Leonard, Hearns, Hagler, Duran, Tyson, Benitez, Curry, McCallum etc

DAZN’s Sergio Mora is a terrible commentator that doesn’t know how to score fights.

68–65 Canelo, looking like target practise in round 7.
