The Opening Bell Podcast 62: Canelo Alvarez-Erislandy Lara, George Groves, Floyd Mayweather

THE impending Las Vegas showdown between Saul ‘Canelo’ Alvarez and Erislandy Lara takes centre stage in this week’s podcast. Why has Alvarez taken such a risky fight? Should he be admired for doing so and what chance a Lara upset victory?

We also discuss George Groves’ comeback, discuss the merits of Marcos Maidana getting a second shot at Floyd Mayweather, and analyse Anthony Joshua’s latest outing against Matt Skelton.

No politics, just boxing. Get involved.
