Canelo Alvarez Eyeing Potential Clash with Oscar De La Hoya’s Protégé, Suggests Analyst
In the latest episode of “Deep Waters” on ProBox TV, expert analyst Paulie Malignaggi suggests that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez may have an extra incentive to emerge victorious in Saturday’s defense of his undisputed super middleweight championship. Malignaggi believes Alvarez’s motivation stems not from any personal animosity towards challenger Jaime Munguia, but rather from a desire to outshine Munguia’s promoter, Oscar De La Hoya – who also happens to be Alvarez’s former promoter.
The upcoming bout marks Alvarez’s latest attempt to cement his status as one of the sport’s elite performers. As the reigning undisputed super middleweight champion, the Mexican superstar will be looking to solidify his dominance in the division by securing a successful title defense against Munguia. However, according to Malignaggi’s analysis, there may be an added layer of intrigue to this matchup, with Alvarez potentially driven to outshine his former promoter De La Hoya, who now backs his current opponent.
