LAS VEGAS — Canelo Alvarez and Dmitry Bivol meet on Saturday night with the latter's WBA (super) light heavyweight title at stake. The main card, highlighted by Canelo vs. Bivol, can be seen on DAZN PPV in the United States and Canada (check your region on how to watch.)

Alvarez and Bivol have no common opponents, but a former opponent of the Mexican star will be in T-Mobile Arena. 

Daniel Jacobs (37-4, 30 KOs), who will be part of the DAZN broadcast, faced Alvarez in a middleweight title unification bout in May 2019. The New York native gave Canelo a more challenging fight than many expected, but Alvarez was able to walk out with a unanimous decision to unify the IBF with his WBA (super) and WBC belts. When asked about how the 175-pound title clash is going to play out, "The Miracle Man" said it's going to come down to who can set the tone.

"It will be a jam-packed fight, an interesting fight because Canelo is coming up in weight fighting a bigger guy," Jacobs told DAZN. "Bivol is a strong, athletic boxer. It's about who can assert themselves more come Saturday night. I look forward to seeing the winner."

When it comes down to who walks out of "Sin City" with the WBO belt, Jacobs had a hard time picking a victor between Alvarez and Bivol. Instead, Jacobs took another route and went with the people who are watching inside the arena and at home on DAZN.

"Ultimately, I think it's going to be a great fight," Jacobs said. "I do predict the fans winning this one."
