Chris Algieri on Mbilli vs Canelo tactics

    por Yamanaka: Chris Algieri

    Chris Algieri sees a real tactical puzzle for Christian Mbilli against Canelo Alvarez. Give Canelo too much respect and he settles in and finds his rhythm. But if Mbilli pours on pressure early, those powerful counters from Canelo are waiting to catch him. Algieri calls it a delicate balance that could decide how the whole fight unfolds. So does Mbilli come out firing right away, or pick his spots and stay measured? MBILLI CAN'T AFFORD TO LET CANELO SETTLE!

    I'm curious to see what level of respect Christian and Billy gives to Canelo. I think if he goes out there and he gives too much ground, gives too much respect to Canelo and lets him get his feet wet and find his positioning and his rhythm, I think we're going to be like, all right, this is a Canelo fight to lose here. But if he jumps on Canelo right away, which could be a double-edged sword because then you get caught, you can get hit with counters because Canelo is still very sharp and powerful. There's a lot of ways I could see this fight going. Thank you.
