Canelo vs Charlo live stream: fight preview

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, one of the greatest boxers in history and the only fighter ever to hold all the titles in the super middleweight division, takes on undisputed light middleweight champion Jermell Charlo at the T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, tonight.

There have been rumours that Canelo's best days are behind him, after he suffered an injury to his left hand in knocking out Caleb Plant to become the undisputed super-middleweight supremo two years ago. Bouts against Dmitry Bivol (which he lost at light-heavyweight) and Gennady Golovkin followed, and it was only after his victory over GGG that he underwent surgery to correct it.

With his hand now fully healed, will this fight mark the return of the Canelo of old? What more can motivate the man who has won so much? The prospect of a 60th professional win should do the trick.

His opponent, American fighter Jermell Charlo, boasts a record of 35-1-1 including 19 KOs. The 33-year-old is the top dog in the light middleweight class but, in order to face Canelo, he's had to move up two weight divisions. Critics say he hasn’t faced an opponent of the same calibre as Canelo before. Will he be able to deal with the Mexican's punching power?

Charlo may need to adapt his fighting style for this one, as going toe to toe with Alvarez could surely only end one way. Canelo has never been knocked out, but he has been defeated twice, losing to Mayweather earlier in his career and of course more recently to Bivol. The American might do well to mirror Money's elusive style.
