Canelo Alvarez will take on Liam Smith at Jerry World on September 17!

Canelo Alvarez is set to take on Liam Smith on September 17 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.  The stadium is home to the NFL Dallas Cowboys.


Canelo will challenge Smith for the 154 pound WBO title.  This is not a bad fight, Liam Smith is a good fighter and should pose a good challenge for Canelo.  The problem may be there is no drawing power with Liam Smith in Texas, so the burden of that will fall on Alvarez.  

The stadium seats 88,000 people.  That's a lot of seats to fill when you're not fighting a top notch draw.  We will see what Canelo's drawing power is made of on September 17.

The undercard is set to feature Luis Ortiz vs. Alexander Ustinov.  Billy Joe Saunders will also be on the undercard.  His opponent has not yet been chosen.
