However, he has an implacable rival that no one has yet managed to overcome: his age. At 40, he still wants to nurture his boxing legacy, but his deteriorating physical condition, vulnerability to a midsection strike and loss of quickness could trip him up.

THE CARDIO CONDITION OF CANELO ALVAREZ

Much of Guadalajara’s defeat against Dmitry Bivol was caused by the fatigue he showed very early in the fight. While Canelo’s striking has never been one of his main strengths, he’s never had it as bad as he did that night on May 7, 2022.
