Now, 168-pound super middleweight undisputed champion Carneiro Alvarez is working hard for his May 4 bout, most likely against his Mexican compatriot Jimmy Monguia, and although the fight is not yet fully finalized, there are signs that a deal between the two sides is almost certain, and sources have revealed that the fight will be broadcast live from DAZN and Amazon Prime.
This week, Alvarez uploaded a ** showing that he is officially in training in preparation for the next big game.
*, Alvarez is wearing a black sports sweatshirt and is slamming his fist on the sandbag in front of him, it can be clearly seen that he is very hard, his whole body is tilting, and at the same time, the roar resounded throughout the gym, making the audience tremble, so that some fans said: If you are hit by such a fist, the concrete head will be shattered!
Over the past week, Alvarez has been the subject of much discussion about whether Alvarez will leave PBC for DAZN. Alvarez was originally a contracted fighter for PBC, but for various reasons, Alvarez was reluctant to work with him anymore, and he is rumored to be returning to DAZN to join British promoter Eddie Hearn.
Now it seems that Alvarez has decided to stay in the PBC, as to why the two sides are getting back together? It is reported that it was PBC who promoted Alvarez's treatment and made him change his mind. It is also reported that when Alvarez approached DAZN, he found that the other party's offer was not as good as that of PBC, so he decided to return.
Another source revealed that Alvarez returned to PBC for another important reason, that is, PBC adjusted the contract, especially the second and third games of the cooperation between the two sides, which made Alvarez very satisfied, before there was a saying that PBC asked Alvarez to face David Benavidez in the third game, which annoyed Alvarez, and there is speculation that now in the PBC's readjusted contract, it is likely that Benavidez has been eliminated, as for whether the two still have a chance to meet? Only God knows!
If the news is true, then Alvarez's second match against the PBC will be against Monguia, but what about the third? Fans still want him to face Benavidez, or David Morrell, or former 147-pound welterweight undisputed champion Terence Crawford.
Now, Alvarez against Monguia is still acceptable to most fans, and it's much better than him facing Guimar Charlo and Edgar Berlanga, because either of these two will not be too suspenseful to challenge Alvarez.
Monguia, who won four knockouts against British tough guy John Reid in January, seems to have improved a lot, and is now under the guidance of legendary coach Freddie Roach. Given Monguia's strong performance against Red, he is now considered by many to be the ideal choice for Alvarez.
Former two-division champion Jesse Vargas believes Alvarez would be a "good fighter" if he chooses Monguia, who can win the fight before Monguia is fully mature.
Vargas said"I like Benavidez and I like Monguia, if I'm a pure fan, I'd think Monguia, Benguidez are okay, if I'm a promoter, I'd think Monguia is more suitable, he's a young fighter, he's very strong, he just hasn't had any experience yet, so before Monguia really rises, Alvarez needs to take his chances, and if you get this fight too late, then the difficulty will increase a lot because Monguia is going to get better and better. ”
In Vargas's view, Monguia's challenge to Alvarez will not "lose" by any measure. Vargas said"Even if Monguia loses, he won't lose anything, he will only get better, and then Monguia will gain experience and get a lot of money, that's my opinion, his future will be better. ”
Considering that Benavidez and Crawford can't fight Alvarez, Monguia is indeed the most ideal choice, as for the Cuban titan Morrell, he is even more unlikely, if Benavidez has high risks and low returns, then Morel is a typical example of higher risks and lower returns, he will definitely not enter Alvarez's eyes, as for Alvarez, who will Alvarez choose after leveling Monguia? will be an interesting question.
