Canelo Alvarez<\/a> once again reigns as a super-middleweight world champion after defeating Christian Mbilli on Saturday, and two-division world champion Tim Bradley has offered his thoughts on the win.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the bout, there were doubts as to whether a 36-year-old Canelo still had the hunger and desire to come out on top in a potential firefight, as Mbilli vowed to take the fight to the Mexican<\/a> and spring the upset.<\/p>\n

However, the intelligence of the four-division world champion shone through on fight night as the veteran claimed a unanimous-decision win<\/a> with one of his most impressive displays in recent years.<\/p>\n

On his YouTube channel<\/a>, Bradley suggested that part of Canelo\u2019s success was down to him being able to intimidate Mbilli and throw the French-Cameroonian off his game plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan that dude p***ed down his leg! He got in the ring with Canelo, he felt that presence of Canelo. You can slow a motherf***a down just with your presence! Just you being right there, like you the boogeyman.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has been watching Canelo tear up stuff over the years, Mbilli, and he finally got in the ring with his a** and he was just like \u2018oh, yeah this is a different level, these lights is too bright!\u2019.<\/p>\n

\u201cMan, he got spooked last night. Damn, Mbilli got spooked last night. All of the muscles that he has got, I am like \u2018man come on, at least go for it,\u2019 but he was scared to get countered.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThey came in with an entirely different game plan, he lost his identity last night, that is how bad that s**t was.\u201d<\/p>\n

Bradley then went on to declare his belief that Canelo has a lot more to give to the sport, shunning any idea that Alvarez should soon hang up the gloves.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe has got a lot left in the tank and he showed that last night when he tamed that damn Mbilli, that was supposed to be coming and throwing all of these punches.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat motherf***a threw all of these punches and he missed all of them damn shots!\u201d<\/p>\n

Canelo is understood to have one fight left on his contract with Riyadh Season but, as of right now, he looks unlikely to be able to secure his targeted opponent for that outing<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Canelo Alvarez once again reigns as a super-middleweight world champion after defeating Christian Mbilli on Saturday, and two-division…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":955693,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[447],"tags":[703,49,48,82],"class_list":["post-955692","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-boxing","tag-boxing","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955692","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=955692"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/955692\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/955693"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=955692"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=955692"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=955692"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
