There is a dearth of big name talent in the junior middleweight division. Increasing star Saul Alvarez can have the fighters below to help feast on. Notice they are good…but not too good. Similar to the occupation trajectory his countryman Julio Cesar Chavez in place in when he was at his lightweight and junior welterweight prime.

1) Austin Trout 25-0, 14 KOs) : Crafty southpaw as finally garnered exposure with his decision victory over perennial edge welterweight contender Delvin Rodriguez. There does exist some revenge factor here as Trout shut out Caenlo’s your government Rigoberto Alvarez.

2) Cornelius Bundrage (31-4, 18 KOs) – Due to the fact signing with geriatric promoter Don King, K-9 offers seen a mixed case of results. Although he garnered your IBF Junior Middleweight title along with the Don, she has only defended his title singular and has been mostly inactive since winning the belt in 2010. But, the 39 year aged dinosaur always fights which includes a busy style and can be a sell some tickets.

Mastered and coached by Hall of Famer Emanuel Steward, your 154 pound champ with Detroit, MI, is currently being courted by Golden Young man Promotions pending a victory in the June 30th rematch with Cory Spinks. Because the date with his next bout just leaves 45 days to market a pay per see event, a Saul Alvarez vs . K-9 Bundrage event is a real long-shot. But try to look for K-9 to connect with Canelo in the future if the Contender star continues within his winning ways.

3) Erislandy Lara (16-1-1, 11 KOs) – Although the Cuban exile is currently fighting within the Golden Boy banner, the crafty southpaw is basically viewed as “too much risk for the reward” by most administrators and promoters. But, the Ronnie Shields trained fighter happens to be ranked number one in the WBC’s 154 pound ranking system and is coming off of a great explosive 1st Round knock-out victory over Middleweight Ronald Hearns.

After being left in the altar by current WBC Silver Champ Vanes Martirosyan in a designated title eliminator bout and dropping an exceptionally controversial unanimous decision to help Paul Williams in 2011, the Golden Boy fighter is worth a title opportunity along with the promotional group’s new Senior Child on September fifteenth.

several) Vanes Martirosyan (32-0, 20 KOs) – If winning is a bad thing, then the following fighter is one bad dude. Considering winning the WBC Sterling silver distinction by defeating Saul Roman in the semi-final title eliminator competition in June of 2011, the “Armenian Nightmare” has only fought two trajectory opponents and has now turned down title eliminator bouts with Alfredo Angulo and Erislandy Lara. In his defense, your WBC Silver title was originally intended to designate a fighter as the sanctioning body’s mandatory opposition, and also the Los Angeles based fighter was named a title challenger when he defeated Roman relating to the undercard of Julio Cesar Chavez Jr’s bout with Sebastian Zbik.

Unfortunately, some sort of bout with Canelo Alvarez with September 15th is very unlikely, regardless of their record and WBC position, primarily because Vanes currently campaigns within the Top Rank Promotional banner.
