Christian Mbilli states that he’s prepared for a world title shot towards Canelo Alvarez after his ten-round unanimous determination win over Sergiy Derevyanchenko on Saturday evening in Quebec Metropolis, Canada. Whereas one can admire Mbilli’s confidence about eager to struggle the #1 fighter at 168, his possibilities of touchdown the Canelo struggle are unrealistic. In different phrases, I don’t see Mbilli ever getting a struggle towards Canelo earlier than he retires.
Mbilli (28-0, 23 KOs) didn’t look as nice however bought the win over Derevyanchenko (15-6, 10 KOs), due to his harm within the fourth.
It wasn’t an important struggle to observe with the harm and defensive techniques Derevyanchenko had to make use of to outlive after struggling a bicep harm. The scores had been 100-90, 99-91 and 98-92.
Mbilli’s Naivete
The France-based Mbilli says he’ll attend Canelo’s struggle towards Edgar Berlanga on September 14th and be able to struggle him afterward. Mbilli sounds very naive. It’s not that simple to get a title shot towards Canelo.
You don’t simply present up at his struggle and assume he’ll face you subsequent. You need to have one thing to supply, and with out His Excellency Turki Alalshikh prepared to finance it, Mbilli doesn’t have a hope of getting a struggle towards Canelo subsequent, or ever, for that matter.
There are no less than 5 – 6 fighters who would deliver more cash to the desk for Canelo than Mbilli, and he wouldn’t should go to Canada to struggle them.
The IBF Route
High Rank and Eye of The Tiger ought to give attention to concentrating on the IBF belt not too long ago stripped from Canelo as a result of that’s the perfect hope they’ve of getting a title shot for Mbilli. He’s not common within the U.S. and has nothing to supply Canelo. Mbilli would have a great probability of getting a title shot towards William Scull for the IBF belt if he will get ranked excessive sufficient with them.
If Turki will get his means, Canelo will struggle Terence Crawford in early 2025. After that, he desires David Benavidez for Canelo. David Morrell is perhaps an choice quickly, as nicely. Mbilli isn’t in the identical galaxy as Canelo, and I don’t assume he ever might be. Therefore, Mbilli ought to give attention to the IBF belt.
“I’m prepared for giant fights. I need to be a world champion. I do know that to be the perfect, I’ve to beat the perfect. I don’t need to say any names, however everyone is aware of who’s primary. I need the struggle with primary,” mentioned Christian Mbilli after his win towards Sergiy Derevyanchenko on Saturday evening, hinting that he desires a title shot towards unified tremendous middleweight champion Canelo Alvarez.
Bernard Osuna: “You’re going to be going to the Canelo-Berlanga struggle. What does that imply to you?
Mbilli: “I believe it’s simple boxing for Canelo. He’s going to win this struggle [against Edgar Berlanga], however after, I believe I’ll be prepared for him.”
