Teddy Atlas, a respected boxing commentator and trainer, has provided insights into the matchup between Mbilli and Canelo. Atlas noted that while Canelo may not outwork Mbilli, he can deliver powerful uppercuts and liver shots that could trouble even a well-conditioned opponent.

Atlas further suggested that as the older fighter, Mbilli could make the bout feel more challenging for Canelo, highlighting the psychological aspect of the fight.
