Canelo Alvarez and his handlers are searching for the right opponent for a projected fight in September.
And because it will have to take place in an empty arena because of the coronavirus threat — thereby sacrificing earnings generated by a live gate — they appear to be seeking a bargain option.
Enter Anthony Dirrell, the former two-time 168-pounder who is 35 and at least somewhat past his prime. He’s coming off a stoppage loss to David Benavidez this past September. The fight was stopped because of a cut above Dirrell’s eye but he was losing on the cards.
Is Dirrell the ideal opponent under these circumstances?
In this episode of Jabs with Mannix and Mora, DAZN commentators Chris Mannix and Sergio Mora discuss this topic.
