In a recent interview with Boxing Social, Canelo Alvarez's coach, Eddy Reynoso, discussed their team's gameplan for the fight against Dmitry Bivol on Saturday.
When asked what Canelo needed to do in order to be successful against Bivol, the renowned trainer had this to say:
"What he's done his whole career. Cut off the ring and hit on the counter."
He made note that Dmitry Bivol is a very talented and dangerous fighter, and it would be a test for Canelo. When asked about what specific challenges Bivol poses for Alvarez, Reynoso stated:
"He'll be heavier on the day of the fight, and that's what he has in differences. He moves really well around the ring, and he's a really intelligent fighter."
