There are still 10 days left until the fight between Jermell Charlo and Canelo Alvarez. Although many consider Alvarez to be the favorite, it seems that this great Mexican does not share the opinion. He feels like he's the underdog in this match.

This is exactly what gives him additional motivation and the desire to show everyone how strong he is! “These kinds of fights motivate me. I like being underestimated. That’s what makes me excited for this fight,” said Alvarez, as quoted by boxingscene.com!

“I always believe that I’m number one. My whole career. Because you need to believe in yourself. I still believe I’m number one. But I believe there is more than just one fighter alone at the top, there are a few”.

Canelo Alvarez and his preparations

Alvarez trained in Lake Tahoe, California. The training he underwent was extremely intense. It was imperative to him that he be fully prepared for this challenge and get the most out of himself.

For Canelo, the most important thing is that he feels good, that he has no problems, and that he has a good feeling about this match. There was a lot of hard work put in by him and his team to get the win!
“We always prepare 100% no matter where we are.

It’s different being here. At the beginning, I couldn’t breathe very well. But right now, I feel great. I’ve found a place that’s made me happy and strong,” said Alvarez. “I feel great. This is really one of the best camps I’ve ever had.

I feel great to be able to train 100% now with my left hand. That’s made me more confident. When you train knowing that you’re healthy, you’ll be more confident in the fight. I like being here in Lake Tahoe because I’m 100% focused. It’s just me and my team and we’re focused on the fight. It makes me feel ready for the fight”.
