Saul Alvarez vs Dmitry Bivol Preview & Picks
Saul Alvarez is tipped to become world light-heavyweight champion for a second time.

- Saul Alvarez is unbeaten in his last 16 fights

Saul Alvarez Form
Saul Alvarez has established himself as the pound-for-pound number one.
‘Canelo’ has gone 16 fights unbeaten since suffered the sole loss of his career, to Floyd Mayweather Jr in September 2013.
A seven-fight win streak was halted by a split decision draw with Gennady Golovkin four years after that loss.
He took the rematch though, via majority decision, 12 months later, and since then he has piled up world titles during an eight-fight win streak.
Alvarez tore through Rocky Fielding in three rounds before besting Daniel Jacobs over 12 to add the IBF middleweight title to his WBA (Super), WBC and Ring Magazine crowns.
‘Canelo’ the stepped up to light-heavyweight to knock out WBO champion Sergey Kovalev before returning to super-middleweight to regain the WBA (Super), Ring Magazine and WBC belts.
He beat Callum Smith via decision that night, and followed it up with stoppage wins over Avni Yildirim and Billy Joe Saunders to retain the belts.
Alvarez then added the IBF title to his collection with an 11th round stoppage of Caleb Plant last November.
That victory took his professional record to 57-1-2, with 39 KOs and one decision defeat.
Dmitry Bivol Form
Dmitry Bivol is making the fourth defence of his WBA (Super) light-heavyweight title.
The 31-year-old Russian won the interim title in only his seventh professional fight back in May 2016.
He was later upgraded to regular WBA champion in 2017 and successfully defended the belt five times.
Bivol was then officially made full WBA (Super) light-heavyweight champion in 2019 and in his first defence earned a decision win over Lenin Castillo.
It would be 18 months before the Russian would fight again, but when he did he made another successful defence of the crown.
Bivol beat Craig Richards over 12 rounds in Manchester, England to take his perfect record to 18-0.
He made it 19-0 last December when he registered a decision win over Umar Salamov to land this high-profile clash with Alvarez.
Verdict
Dmitry Bivol has never lost a fight, but he has not fought anyone of note either.
Saul Alvarez is levels above the champion and that is likely to be clear for all to see after 12 rounds.
