Saturday, March 8, 2014, live from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, NV, Canelo Alvarez (42-1, 30 KOs) and Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KOs) go “Toe to Toe.”
Each man is looking for redemption after losing in their last bouts–Canelo against Floyd Mayweather and Angulo against Erislandy Lara.
The pressure is undoubtedly on Canelo because he is the younger, more marketable fighter who according to many could be the face of boxing for the next 10 years.
A loss to Angulo certainly puts a wrench in those plans.
For “El Perro,” this is a once in a lifetime opportunity. A win would derail Golden Boy‘s cash cow and catapult him into the mainstream of boxing.
Who will be crowned Mexico’s true champion?
Also on the card are Jorge Linares (35-3, 23 KOs) vs. Nihito Arakawa (24-3-1, 16 KOs), Jermall Charlos (17-0, 13 KOs) vs. Carlos Molina (22-5-2, 6 KOs) and Leo Santa Cruz (26-0, 15 KOs) vs. Cristian Mijares (49-7-2, 24 KOs).
