Ahead of their respective bouts on Saturday, September 30 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, the fighters competing on Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo undercard held a media workout and showed off their skills for fans. The workout saw fighters on the Showtime PPV card that features undefeated Jesus Ramos Jr up against Erickson Lubin in the 12-round co-main event at super welterweight.
As well, former world champions Yordenis Ugas and Mario Barrios, who go toe-to-toe in the 12-rounder for the interim WBC welterweight title. Plus, middleweights Elijah Garcia and Jose Resendiz, who squares off in the pay-per-view opener. In addition, Frank Sanchez, who takes on Scott Alexander in the 10-round heavyweight bout, headlining the prelims.
