Alvarez and Chavez Jnr clash in Las Vegas on May 6 : expect fireworks

When Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Julio Cesar Chavez Jnr clash in Nevada’s T-Mobile Arena on May 6 many factors will come into play when assessing the outcome. Will Chavez make the weight? Will he be able to re-hydrate and use the undoubted physical advantages in the ring on the night? Who will be best equipped to put their game plan into operation the most effectively?

Alvarez will be aiming to bring into play his three punch boxing combinations: left jab, feint to the body and then unleash a strong overhand right. He will be wary of Chavez’s strength on the inside and will need to avoid getting drawn into long clinches. Chavez Jnr is more basic in his approach and will adopt his standard, rudimentary two punch boxing combinations: left jab followed by a straight right hand.

Chavez Jnr’s famous father of the same name says that he is expecting his 30-year-old son to cause the upset. Famous for so many stunning one punch boxing knockouts, Chavez Senior won multiple fights at the very highest level and sees his wayward son following in those footsteps come fight night.
