Fight Preview
One of the world’s greatest ever boxers will be back in action at the end of October, and Canelo Alvarez will be the clear favorite with the Vegas odds to overcome Christian Mbilli in his WBC super middleweight championship bout.
The Canelo Vegas odds are priced up at -350, despite the Mexican coming into this showdown after a loss against Terence Crawford. However, it is hard to overlook the 36-year-old, as he is one of the greatest counterpunchers in boxing history, and was previously ranked as the pound-for-pound king between November 2019 and May 2022.
Canelo was far from disgraced in his showdown with Crawford last September, taking the American the distance in the battle for the WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and The Ring super middleweight belts. The Mexican’s record is still mightily impressive, having won 63 of his 68 bouts, which includes victories in six of his last seven.
Christian Mbilli shouldn’t be an opponent overlooked at the end of October. The Cameroonian has won 29 of his 30 professional fights, and he is yet to suffer a defeat. The 31-year-old is revered for his power, winning 24 of his bouts inside the distance.
This fight will be Mbilli’s first title defense after winning the interim title in June 2025 with a stunning first-round KO win against Maciej Sulecki. This is undeniably a step up in opponent, but the African has his sights set on establishing himself as one of the top names in the division.
Canelo Alvarez vs Christian Mbilli Picks
Mbilli’s power should be respected in October, but Canelo’s ability to dictate fights and avoid getting dragged into scraps will play to his strengths. Therefore, we expect the Canelo Vegas odds to be correct, as we foresee him winning via points.
