The interviewer from Fight Hub TV asked Leonard Ellerbe, about his views on Alvarez’s next move. The interviewer asked, “With Bivol’s victory, what do you think that Canelo goes next?..In particular, do you think that his management team drops him in there for a rematch with Bivol? Or do you think that they go hunting somebody like GGG?”
Leonard Ellerbe answered in a witty way. He said, “Well, that’s a no-brainer. To go back to do what you just did, and I can’t see him(Canelo Alvarez) beating him (Bivol).”
He also added, “But again, they pick Bivol for a reason but they miscalculated that, trust and believe that because they took shorter money to fight him as opposed to the offers that were on the table Charlo, Benavidez, you know all of that.”
Ellerbe has a perspective that Alvarez must not face Dmitry Bivol for a rematch, as the result will end up the same as before.
Canelo Alvarez letting his fans down after his second loss
The Mexican superstar lost only once in his professional boxing career, which was against the legendary boxer, Floyd Mayweather.
After his first defeat, Alvarez achieved great feats and marked significance in the boxing fraternity by defeating some notable fighters like Gennady Golovkin, Amir Khan, and Billy Joe Saunders.
But his recent loss against Dmitry Bivol let his fans down as the fans expected a positive outcome from Canelo Alvarez.
Now, Alvarez is looking for a comeback in the ring and he claimed after his last fight that he will come back to hunt Dmitry Bivol.
Who will be Alvarez’s next opponent?
The fans are in a doubt regarding Alvarez’s next fight. Though Alvarez suggested that he will come back to fight Bivol in a rematch, there are no definite claims that he will face Bivol or any other opponent in his subsequent fight.
