‘He Also Needs a Heart Surgery to Accept Benavidez Fight’: Canelo Alvarez Goes Under Knife for Hand Surgery, Draws Wild Reaction

As a four-division world champion, Canelo Alvarez will be sure to testify that his powerful fists are the quintessential tools of his pugilistic career. It was reported that Alvarez had to undergo surgery on his left hand, which will in turn keep him away from the ring for a considerable amount of time. However, fans were not too kind with their replies when he posted about the same.

Alvarez revealed that he had faced issues with his left hand, since fighting Caleb Plant in 2021. This was further aggravated after his fight against Dmitry Bivol.

Alvarez had mentioned that he would be undergoing surgery for the same after his fight against Gennady Golovkin in September 2022. Talking about the condition of his hand, Alvarez said, “I need surgery on my hand after this. On my left hand. But I’m good, I’m a warrior and that is why I’m here. It bothered me a lot. I can’t hold a glass. It is really bad. But I am a warrior.”

Alvarez later went under the knife. And recently gave fans an update about his hand post-surgery.

It seems like fans did not hold back from sharing their thoughts about Canelo Alvarez’s surgery. In fact, when a story about the same was posted on Facebook, it paved the way for a slew of intriguing comments.

Austin Kendall wished Alvarez a speedy recovery, saying, “Get well soon, I want him to be 100% when he returns, no excuse.”

But Johnny Mendez felt like Alvarez was ready for action. He said, “Came out just fine: ready for Cinco de Mayo.”

Meanwhile, there were a few arguments on what may have caused the injury. Joseph D. Tabangcura Sr. said, “That’s from hitting Bivol concrete jaw!”

Marco Gomez, on the other hand, felt. “His hands were cracked when he hit GGG’s head that was made of rock.”

A few users felt that Alvarez was trying to avoid potential fights. Juan Torres said, “Avoiding Mandatory Benavidez.”

While Jose Huguito Polanco hilariously added, “Don’t worry he also needs a heart surgery to accept Benavidez fight.”

And, Menard de Castro stated, “Alibi not to fight Jake Paul.”

However, Jose Diaz had a rather peculiar thought. He mentioned, “Now boxing authorities should check Canelo’s hand for anything illegal.”
