Who will win Álvarez vs Saunders?
Álvarez is the number one pound-for-pound fighter in the sport so it's easy to see why he's a hot favourite for this unification bout. He beat Callum Smith by unanimous decision in December to secure the WBC, WBA and Ring Magazine titles. He then destroyed Avni Yıldırım in February to successfully defend those titles.
Saunders has fought just once in the past 18 months, easily defending his WBO title against Martin Murray in December. He has a tricky, awkward style which most boxers struggle to adapt to but this shouldn't pose a problem for Álvarez.
Saunders will have his moments against the legendary Mexican but he'll need the performance of his life to pull off an upset. Álvarez to win by decision.
