At 36, coming off a defeat, elbow surgery, and more than a year outside the ring, Canelo faces an opponent capable of making him work when he would prefer a breather.

The timing makes this dangerous. Canelo has years of experience finding openings against aggressive fighters, but exploiting those openings requires him to keep answering. Mbilli’s willingness to throw repeatedly could turn Canelo’s pauses between attacks into stretches where the challenger is being outworked.

“We know he’s a fighter with a lot of stamina, who throws a lot of punches,” Canelo said to ESPN MX. “We have the experience. Obviously, we’ve been working very hard on having the stamina ourselves to be able to respond in the same way.”
