Jack della Maddalena has given his opinion whether Belal Muhammad actually has 'Canelo Hands'.
Last night, in UFC 315, in the Bell Center in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, the Australian produced an enormous performance to illuminate 'Remember the Name' of his world championship belt.
Maddalena has left off in his very first fight, to conquering the sport, with more controversial victories probably in his future.
In the aftermath of his statement victory, Maddalena discussed a potential confrontation with Islam Makhachev, and more importantly, gave insight into a myth around the boxing skills of the now former 170 pound title holder.

Jack della Maddalena says that Belal Muhammad has no 'canelo hands'
Prior to beating Leon Edwards to claim the 170-pound throne, the box coach of Belal Muhammad compared his hands with Canelo Alvarez.
This was a somewhat enigmatic remark, since the American Palestinian is known for its wrestling instead of its striking.
During his fight with Jack della Maddalena, Muhammad tried to show his skills on the feet.
However, the superior capacity of his opponent in this department was too much for him to handle.
After the game, 'JDM' was asked to arrange whether his enemy really has Canelo hands once and for all.
In an interview on the Kariouz Bros YouTube channel, the Aussie said: “No, he didn't do that, Canelo is the man, but he didn't do that. Rekwisites to him, he said he would stand there, I didn't think he would do that, but he did.”

After beating Belal Muhammad, attention quickly switched to the man who will probably share the Octagon with the next.
A confrontation with Makhachev will probably attract the attention of fans around the world.
However, overcoming the Dagestani can be much more difficult than what he had to go through last night.
Now the Makhachev coach has explained why his hunter will be difficult for Maddalena to beat.
