BMF Jorge Masvidal claimed that he can “shock the world” by breaking Canelo Alvarez’s face in boxing. In response, Canelo said that he doesn't consider Masvidal as a challenge. The Mexican feels that he has nothing to do in MMA since it is not his place and Masvidal has nothing to do in Boxing. Canelo Alvarez has faced his only loss in boxing career against Floyd Mayweather and since then he has won every fight.

Jorge Masvidal has never fought a professional boxing fight but he has got pretty dangerous hands. Fans know that Jorge Masvidal’s hands can be even more brutal if he puts on those 6-ounce gloves.
