Teofimo Lopez says Dmitry Bivol is the perfect opponent for Canelo Alvarez

Lopez has offered his take on Canelo Alvarez's next fight. Alvarez is currently gearing up to take on Dmitry Bivol next on May 7 in an attempt to become the WBA Light-Heavyweight Champion.

In an interview with Fight Hub TV, ' The Takeover' explained why Bivol is the perfect opponent for the pound-for-pound king, and he said:

"From the fights I've seen him, tricky dude but he's very solid, very tight and Canelo likes guys like that. He can pick 'em off, like you could really pick 'em off. I mean he did it with Calllum Smith, even though Callum Smith was tall, he was boxed up like this to the point where Canelo just went around, clipped him, brought him down. So it's all about how they box man but it's a fight made for Canelo."
