(Photo credit: Esther Lin/Showtime) By Dan Ambrose: Former WBA/WBC junior middleweight champion Saul “Canelo” ALvarez (42-1-1, 30 KO’s) is still talking about his loss to Floyd Mayweather Jr. as being a gift to him because of the things that he learned in the loss.
What those things are is unknown, but Canelo is telling everyone that will listen that it was a great learning experience for him to get beaten by Mayweather last September. We’ll see if that’s true when Canelo fights Alfredo Angulo (22-3, 18 KO’s) next month on March 8th at the MGM Grand, in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA.
