  • Canelo Alvarez telah sepakat untuk berhadapan dengan Billy Joe Saunders dalam duel unifikasi pada 2 Mei 2020.
  • Pengumuman resmi terkait pertarungan dua petinju kelas menengah super itu akan dilakukan dalam waktu dekat.  
  • Saunders yakin bisa memberikan kekalahan kedua bagi Alvarez di T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, AS.

SKOR.id – Setelah duel ulang (rematch) antara Deontay Wilder dengan Tyson Fury, Februari lalu, fan tinju dunia kembali disuguhkan pertarungan menarik, Canelo Alvarez versus Billy Joe Saunders.

Partai ini akan berlangsung pada 2 Mei 2020 di T-Mobile Arena, Las Vegas, Amerika Serikat (AS). Alvarez setuju untuk melakoni duel unifikasi kelas menengah super (76,2 kg) melawan Saunders.

Seperti diketahui, kedua petinju sama-sama memiliki gelar di divisinya. Canelo Alvarez merupakan juara WBA reguler, sedangkan Billy Joe Saunders adalah pemegang sabuk WBO.

Alvarez (53-1-2, 36 KO) belum pernah terkalahkan sejak 2013. Terakhir kali ia takluk di atas ring adalah saat menghadapi Floyd Mayweather Jr. di MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, AS.

Sementara itu, rapor bertinju Saunders tidak kalah impresif. Sepanjang kariernya, atlet asal Inggris itu pun tidak pernah takluk dari lawan-lawannya (29-0,14 KO).

Hal ini yang diyakini menjadi pertimbangan Canelo Alvarez memilih Billy Joe Saunders sebagai lawan pertamanya tahun ini ketimbang Callum Smith, pemegang gelar WBA super.

“Dia siap untuk bertarung pada 2 Mei mendatang. Dan, ya (lawannya) Billy Joe Saunders,” ujar Eddy Reynoso, pelatih Canelo Alvarez, mengonfirmasi kepastian duel kedua petinju.

Pengumuman resmi memang belum dibuat terkait pertarungan Alvarez versus Saunders. Namun hal itu akan dilakukan dalam waktu dekat, rencananya dalam 24 jam ini atau pekan depan.

Bagi Billy Joe Saunders, duel dengan Canelo Alvarez bakal menjadi pertarungan terberatnya sepanjang karier. Tak hanya itu, pertaruhannya pun sangat besar.

Selain rekor sempurnanya, Saunders pun terancam kehilangan sabuk WBO. Namun petinju Inggris ini juga berpeluang memperpanjang rekor sekaligus memperbanyak gelarnya jika menang.

Meski dari segi jam terbang jauh di bawah Canelo Alvarez, Saunders optimistis bisa memberikan kekalahan kedua bagi petinju kebanggaan Meksiko tersebut.

“Dia (Alvarez) adalah seorang petarung yang sangat bagus dan telah mencapai hal luar biasa dalam kariernya,” kata Billy Joe Saunders.

“Jika dia menang, saya bakal menjabat tangannya dan mengatakan ‘Anda lebih baik’. Namun kemungkinan itu terjadi kecil karena saya akan mengalahkannya,” Saunders menambahkan.
