At the Canelo Alvarez's belt against AVNI Yildirim last weekend, Jorge Masvidal was one of the famous names present to watch the event. Out of praise for the excellent performance of Canelo, Masvidal even said that if possible, he would be very excited with the opportunity to match the champion.
“The first thing I want to say to Canelo is to congratulate my brother. I can't criticize anything, it is really a spectacular performance. Great attack. Good defense. Catching very standard opportunities and controlling the impeccable distance.”
“My first love is boxing, and until now I still love it. A MMA champion goes to the floor with a boxing champion? For me, it's a dream, is the desire. I love Boxing before I love UFC, I play Boxing before becoming an UFC boxer.
“My brothers are a top puncher, nothing to discuss. If confronted with Canelo, my chances of winning are extremely low. But hey, I am always at the lower door in every match, right? Anyway, I'm here as a fan. I will not challenge Canelo or anything similar. I am just a fan of Canelo, I love what he loves, love Boxing, that is very simple.”
Jorge Masvidal failed in the Welterweight weight -class match in July last year before Kamaru Usman. Masvidal is expected to have a rematch in September, but he is not afraid to target a huge remuneration if he can go to the boxing floor.
