Errol Spencer, unified welterweight champion, speaking about the Alvarez winning another belt in a different division again said:
He can, I think he can. He has the skill set, seems like he got the chin, I think he can do it. I feel like Canelo is doing whatever he wants to do - he’s chasing history. What he’s doing is unheard of, skipping weight classes. Fighting who he wants to fight. I don’t feel like he’s ducking anybody.
Fight Preview
