Despite the Mexican holiday, undefeated Saul "Canelo" Alvarez continued his preparation towards the battle with British champion Matthew "Magic" Hatton, which is scheduled for the 5th of March at the Honda Center in Anaheim, California. Saul Alvarez (35-0-1, 26 KOs) will defend his WBC silver belt for the third time, which he won by knocking out Luciano Cuello in one of the most spectacular performances by the pride of Jalisco.

Matthew Hatton (41-4-2, 16 KOs) has only has one loss inside the distance and that was in 2003. In one of his recent confrontations, he fought to a thrilling draw with South Africa's Lovemore N'dou, who happens to be latest victim of the spectacular "Canelo."
