Sergey Kovalev was issued a medical suspension by the Nevada State Athletic Commission after his technical knockout loss to Canelo Alvarez.
You know Saul Canelo Alvarez is a beast because he has only lost a single fight out of the fifty six he has fought. This guy has won world titles in four weight divisions.
I love Canelo's style. He was patiently waiting for Sergey Kovalev to leave his chin unguarded for just a simple second, and when he did, that was the end of him.
The fight was really close before the KO. Kovalev showed real skills but in the 11th round he slowed down and his defense got kind of shaky for a moment, which led to a KO.
You know what, I'm ready for Canelo's next fight. With his kind of technique, tickets will be flying left and right, basically selling themselves.

Billy Joe Saunders called out Saul “Canelo” Alvarez after retaining his WBO super-middleweight title. I'm betting he is going to be his next opponent.
Billy Joe Saunders is reportedly a potential opponent being considered for Canelo Alvarez’s next fight in May 2020.

Promoter Eddie Hearn revealed that Gennady Golovkin is also being considered as a possible opponent against Canelo Alvarez who is currently holding five belts from middleweight up to 175lbs.
I can't wait.
He said that they have five guys who are being considered: Gennady Golovkin, Billy Joe Saunders, Callum Smith i.e if he beats John Ryder, Dmitry Bivol and Demetrius Andrade, to fight Canelo. I have to admit, Canelo Alvarez is a really big deal right now.
That is a lot of potential, if I do say so myself. I'm happy with Canelo Alvarez facing any of these fighter.
