Ramon 'Inocente' Alvarez needs to earn a solid victory this coming April 29th in his rematch with Omar 'Businessman' Chavez - for a variety of reasons.

First of all, he wants to motivate his younger brother Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who on May 6th will battle with Omar's older brother, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.

Canelo, who holds the WBO junior middleweight world title, is facing Chavez Jr. at a catch-weight of 164.5-pounds and has made it clear that he doesn't have any plans to return to 154-pounds - win or lose in May.

Once the fight with Chavez Jr. is over, then the WBO world title will become vacant and Ramon has been promised to get a crack at that belt.

When the belt become vacant, the sanctioning body will order two boxers to fight for that belt. As of the March rankings, Ramon was not in the top 10. Last week, Liam Smith and Liam Williams fought for the vacant WBO interim-belt. That title is still vacant, because Liam Smith won by TKO - but since he was overweight at Friday's weigh-in, he was not eligible to win the belt.

"We have been talking about fighting for the WBO super welterweight championship. We are thinking about that possibility but that is why I need this victory, this fight is very important and not only the fact of winning it, but also the strength to show that we deserve that opportunity [at the WBO belt]," said Ramon Alvarez/

For this brawl, Ramon revealed that he put special emphasis on defense, because he feels this will help him to achieve his mission.

"I feel very good, with more changes in my defense, in my guard, more conditioning. We are on weight, thank God," Ramon Alvarez said. "And we worked the defense because we needed it, not to lower our hands, I'm moving well from the waist, but without lowering my guard so much, move a little more and modify some punches. Every fight is an opportunity to perfect yourself, we must see improvements and advance."

Ramon (24-5-2, 16 KO's) gave the rematch to Omar (35-3-1, 23 Ko's) after having defeated him in September 2014, a loss that Chávez accepts, and claims that he came into the fight too confident and in the end he was surprised by the boxing ability and the strength of Canelo's brother.
