Former boxing world champion Sergio Mora believes Dmitry Bivol is going to cause Canelo Alvarez problems but says that he will need to be exceptional to defeat the Mexican.
Alvarez, 31 years old, has never lost since he fought Floyd Mayweather in 2013.
They will fight May 7th
Bivol, the WBA Super-light-heavyweight champion, is unbeaten in his professional life. Alvarez has 60 fights.
Mora believes Bivol's jab will trouble Alvarez, but suggests that the Russian must show more to win the fight.
Fighthype was told by Mora that Bivol will have to change his character to defeat Canelo.
"That Bivol jab is going to cause him problems, and the power of Canelo is going to cause issues. It's not enough to win.
"Caleb Plant caused Canelo problems with the jab and the movement.
"But he wasn't able to have the experience, size or power to do anything else and he was eventually knocked out in 11th.

Bivol may be in the same boat, I think. He will have to come out and prove himself."
Alvarez sent Plant home quickly to unify the division in Nov 2021. He is currently looking for another belt to complete his collection.
Alvarez will be able to win the WBA super lightweight heavyweight title. He can then give in to Kamaru Usman's wishes to fight him.
