卡内洛在硬石体育场满足了15000名拳迷

卡内洛·阿尔瓦雷斯(Canelo Alvarez)在硬石体育场(Hard Rock Stadium)满足了15000名拳迷的限制



一万五千名拳迷将被允许进入迈阿密的硬石体育场——NFL海豚队的主场——观看周六卡内洛·阿尔瓦雷斯与阿夫尼·耶尔德勒姆的比赛。

这对阿尔瓦雷斯来说没什么。

12月19日，这位墨西哥明星在圣安东尼奥的阿拉莫多姆球场(Alamodome)对阵卡勒姆·史密斯(Callum Smith)夺冠时，也受到了类似的covid -19相关限制。据报道有12,000人参加了那次活动。

阿尔瓦雷斯说:“由于疫情蔓延，他们只让我们收容了1.5万人，但这样我们就没事了。”“上一次在圣安东尼奥的人数是12000人左右，体育场听起来好像是满的。

“我们希望一切很快就会恢复正常，球场也能坐满人，但是有15000人我感觉很好。”如果有1000个，那也是一样的。人们的支持是不可思议的，我非常感激。

“你确实能感受到拳迷们的呐喊声，这让你更有动力，但你必须意识到，最终只有你自己站在擂台上。”我总是百分之百地准备。”

阿尔瓦雷斯(54-1-2,36个ko)将在迈阿密进行第二次比赛。2008年，阿尔瓦雷斯18岁时，他在米科苏基印第安人博彩度假村(Miccosukee Indian Gaming Resort)的第一轮比赛中就击败了劳尔·皮松(Raul Pinzon)。

迈阿密有一个庞大的拉丁裔社区，这对这位超级中量级拳王来说是不可忽视的。

“我很有动力来到迈阿密，参加这场比赛，”他说。“为那里的人们上演一场精彩的表演，因为我不只是代表墨西哥，我代表所有拉丁美洲人。

“我喜欢迈阿密的一切，我很高兴来到这里。在硬石体育场战斗是一种荣誉。我感到非常兴奋，非常高兴。这对我来说更有动力。

“为我的战斗打开另一扇门，有另一个家，我真的感到非常高兴。”

阿尔瓦雷斯轻松击败史密斯，赢得了WBA和WBC 168磅冠军。耶尔德勒姆(21胜2负，12负ko)是WBC冠军的强制性挑战者。


Canelo Alvarez satisfied with 15,000-fan limit at Hard Rock Stadium


Fifteen thousand fans will be allowed inside Hard Rock Stadium in Miami – home of the NFL’s Dolphins – to watch Canelo Alvarez fight Avni Yildirim on Saturday (DAZN).


And that’s OK with Alvarez.


The Mexican star’s title-winning fight against Callum Smith on Dec. 19 at the Alamodome in San Antonio had similar COVID-19-related restrictions. A reported 12,000 attended that event.


“They only let us put 15,000 people in because of the pandemic, but with that we are fine,” Alvarez said. “Last time in San Antonio it was around 12,000 and the stadium sounded like it was full.


“Let’s hope that normalcy will arrive soon, and the stadium can be filled, but with 15,000 I feel very good. And if there were 1,000 it would be the same. The support of the people is incredible, and I feel very grateful.


“You do feel the vibe of the fans when they are yelling and that motivates you much more, but you have to get into your head that in the end you are the only one up in the ring. I always prepare 100 per cent.”




Alvarez (54-1-2, 36 KOs) will be fighting in Miami for the second time. He stopped Raul Pinzon in the first round in 2008 at the Miccosukee Indian Gaming Resort, when Alvarez was 18 years old.


Miami has a large Latino community, which isn’t lost on the super middleweight titleholder.


“I feel very motivated to be in Miami and have this fight,” he said. “And to put on a great show for the people there because I don’t just represent Mexico, I represent all Latinos.


“I like everything about Miami and I am very happy to be here. It is an honor to fight at Hard Rock Stadium. I feel very excited, very happy. It’s even more motivation for me.


“To open another door in order to have another home for my fights, I really feel very happy.”



Alvarez won the WBA and WBC 168-pound titles by easily outpointing Smith. Yildirim (21-2, 12 KOs) is the mandatory challenger to the WBC title.
