The main event at T-Mobile Arena kicks off at 8 p.m. ET, with Canelo vs. Munguia headlining later in the evening. Alvarez enters as a strong favorite at -400, while Munguia stands as the underdog at +300. The over/under for total rounds is set at 10.5, favoring the Over at -200.

Alvarez's decision to face Munguia marks a departure from his previous stance against fighting fellow Mexicans. However, Alvarez views Munguia's esteemed career as a reason to celebrate Mexico's boxing tradition rather than a threat to his own legacy. Munguia, boasting an unblemished record of 43-0, enters the ring with confidence following his recent victory over John Ryder. This clash promises excitement as Munguia aims to add another win to his impressive resume.

Kahn's insights point towards the Under 10.5 rounds, along with method-of-victory and money-line picks. For detailed analysis and expert picks, visit SportsLine.
