Alvarez looks to reclaim a world title and silence questions about his age and recent form after the Crawford loss. Mbilli, a powerful pressure fighter with a high knockout rate, aims to prove he belongs at the top of the division in his biggest test yet. The stacked “Mexico vs. the World” theme adds several Mexican stars and title implications across weight classes, making the undercard especially watchable.
