Alfredo Angulo seemed like an opponent tailor-made for Canelo Alvarez’s strengths when it was announced in January, and then played out as such on March 8 when they met at the MGM Grand. Alvarez pummeled the stationary Angulo round after round, before referee Tony Weeks stopped the action in the 10th.On July 12, Canelo will be facing a different animal in Cuban Erislandy Lara, whose last two conquests are the same as Alvarez’s–Austin Trout and Angulo. While Alvarez is clearly Golden Boy’s golden goose, and potentially the successor to Oscar De La Hoya as the sport’s darling, CEO Richard Schaefer isn’t sure Canelo won’t be defeated.
Canelo Alvarez next fight Erislandy Lara even money according to Golden Boy CEO Richard Schaefer
