Canelo Alvarez and Sergey Kovalev lock horns in the light heavyweight title fight at MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas Saturday, with the card kicking off at 9 p.m. ET.

Conversely, Kovalev is looking to further reaffirm his status as one of the all-time great light heavyweights in the history of the sweet science. The blockbuster night of prizefighting hails from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. The odds for this blockbuster bout and my analysis of the fight are below. Alvarez vs Kovalev Odds. Canelo vs Kovalev 11/2/19 Boxing Betting Odds and Prediction. November 1, 2019. 2019, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Canelo will be moving up two weight classes to face Krusher as the Mexican superstar looks to win a world title in a fourth weight class. Alvarez has won world titles at junior middleweight, middleweight.

The middleweight champion Canelo has moved up two weight divisions to take on this challenge. He puts his 52-1-3 record on the line against Kovalev, who is much bigger and a three-time division champion. A win in this bout would mean he would become just the fourth boxer to win titles at the junior middleweight and light heavyweight levels, a difference of 21 pounds, joining Sugar Ray Leonard, Thomas ‘Hit Man’ Hearns and Mike McCallum as the only boxers to accomplish the feat.

For Kovalev, he is now 36 years old, and he puts an impressive 34-3-1 record with 29 knockouts on the line. He is, and always has been, a light heavyweight, so he knows what it takes to win at this level. The biggest concern in this one isn’t the opponent (well, it is, too), but the refractory period for Kovalev and his body after he just fought an 11-round battle against Anthony Yarde in August. It’s a quick turnaround for a boxer getting up there in age. He did take a full three weeks off after the fight, however, and his trainer considers it a non-issue.

Per BetMGM, Canelo (-400) is a heavy favorite over Kovalev (+275). The oddsmakers like the fight to end in Canelo’s favor in the neighborhood of Rounds 5 through 10 (+1600), with a Round 1 victory fetching the largest payday at (+5000). Don’t be foolish and select that, as Canelo will take a bit to get his sea legs and adjust to a seasoned opponent at a new weight class.

If you’re feeling Canelo for the KO/TKO/Technical Decision or DQ victory, BetMGM has him listed at +175, with a win on points at +100 looking rather tempting. If you feel the fight will go 12 rounds, you’ll need to risk (-167), while a fight shorter than 12 rounds (+120) is a little more profitable.

Canelo faces a big challenge moving up two weight classes, and the weight of the world on his shoulders with such a historic match. However, he will be facing a good, not great, fighter, and that is in his favor. A few years ago and this bout might have been a coin flip, but Kovalev has a lot of mileage on his odometer.

You can also consider taking Canelo (-400) on the 2-way fight result line, although you have to eat a lot of chalk as a result. In addition, roll the dice with Canelo (+500) winning in Rounds 9-12, under the Round Group Betting 2 area. In addition, a selection of Canelo (+175) by KO/TKO/Technical Decision or DQ can net you a nice little profit with a win in between Rounds 9-12, recouping some of the money risked on the 2-way line.

Saul 'Canelo' Alvarez makes the leap up two weight divisions this Saturday night to challenge Sergey Kovalev for the WBO world light-heavyweight title in Las Vegas. Who will win?

CANELO vs KOVALEV BETTING PREVIEW

Despite great power, Alvarez has seen four of his last five bouts come via decision

The 28-year-old's only blemish on his astounding 51-1-2 overall record came back in September 2013 at the hands of Floyd Mayweather Jr., who won via majority decision. Since then, Canelo has recorded 10 victories and 1 draw (in the first bout against Gennady Golovkin). He claimed dominant knockout wins against British boxers Amir Khan and Liam Smith in the process. Canelo’s last fight was in May as a narrow points victory against Daniel Jacobs enabled him to unify the middleweight division.
Alvarez’s two best attributes, though, are the sturdiness of his chin and his ability to work the midsection. Canelo is perhaps the world’s best technical boxer and a fantastic body puncher, which could be the key to this fight.The talented Mexican also is a master of defensive boxing, has excellent footwork and lightning speed. The Mexican champ has never fought at light heavyweight and is known for his dominance at 154 and 160 lbs, but the jump up two weight classes isn’t deterring oddsmakers from installing him as the comfortable favorite over the Russian power-puncher despite giving up four inches in height and five centimetres of reach to his opponent.

Kovalev’s best days may be behind him but he has a huge physical advantage over Canelo

Sergey Kovalev boasts a record of 34 victories, one draw and three defeats from his career. Three losses (two to Andre Ward and one to Eleider Alvarez) in the space of two years suggested a decline but he has found some decent form over the last 12 months. The Russian boxer is coming off a hard-fought win over Anthony Yarde in August in which he was very nearly stopped in the eighth round before battling back to win in the 11th. Prior to that, Kovalev gained impressive revenge over Alvarez
Kovalev has built a reputation as a fearsome puncher. His jab, particularly in his later years, has been his most prolific weapon. If he can fire it regularly and without fear, Canelo will immediately find himself being pushed back. Plus, he is a natural light heavyweight who will dwarf Alvarez on Saturday night. Anyway. it was a series of body shots that ended the second fight with Ward, and his vulnerability in that area will be exploited by the Mexican.
