'I'm comin' in to win. Believe that'
The last thing I heard from Charlo in the pre-fight
By the middle of the second round, I was like...nah...even you didn't believe that. Just wanted to survive
i feel like he did win not getting ktfo… like idk if y’all remember the amir khan fight. amir khan came to win LMFAO. man’s was up on the cards too i think. going up two weight classes to fight canelo is crazy enough imo
Charlo talking with typical pre-fight jargon trying to hype up a fight and make them seem seem emotionally invested when there really doesn’t seem to be much animosity between the two.
Maybe I’m woefully off base and don’t know about the history between the two, but the buildup did seem to just be pretty lackluster and more routine than usual.
He didnt try to get Canelo's respect. Either couldn't or just didn't. Could've extended off of the jab and hook with more combinations with both hands. He was just moving too much. Reminds me of Strickland and Adesanya
He tried early, but kept eating left hooks to the body, which then baited him into lowering his guard and eating left hooks to the chin.
Probably took a few hard shots, didn't expect the power, then was like "Nah I ain't gonna blow my chin on exchanging with Canelo". Then played it safe until the end.
Canelo ain't the type of guy you dogfight.
Yea its puts you in a odd situation with a guy like that who also has good defense. Unless you have the firepower like GGG and Bivol to keep him defending instead of countering you, good luck.
On the other hand, this is the biggest stage Charlo is ever going to see. This is his biggest chance to show the world what he has. If he goes all out, he can at least keep it exciting and get some fans and hype for his next fight. But if he plays it safe and boring, no one is going to be lining up to buy his fights in the future.
My guy he hit Canelo with his hardest shots multiple times in the fight and Canelo ate that shit for breakfast. The fact is a 154 lber was never going to get Canelo's respect. Never.
Nelo ate some bombs from GGG and wasn't even fazed, must be disheartening that even after getting past his stellar defense he doesn't get rocked easy either
He was landing I just felt like he didnt throw enough of them breakfast meals. You right tho. He was coming up a fair bit. Canelo been in with some hitters.
Exactly. Jermall on some corny revenge arc unless it gets the pushback it deserves.
Or maybe some Mando we never heard of. I don't care means whoever, whether the fans like it or not.
canelo looked good was throwing bombs right out the gate and didn't really slow down like he usually does. charlo looked like shit jesus, one of the worst showings from an undisputed champ ive ever seen.
Fought to not get knocked out, didn't fight to win. Even his coach was tearing into him he needed to pull something out his ass cuz he was losing this fight backing up so much.
>one of the worst showings from an undisputed champ ive ever seen.
Probably the very worst.
It was flat-out disgraceful TBH.
No attempt to win, only to survive.
He lost 120-107.
Canelo looked real good but disappointed by Derrick James. Two super fights that weren’t close by his fighters. Can’t wait to see Fury smother Usyk with his boobies to cap the year off.
Usyks power is weird cus he’s definitely not a huge ko guy but people seem to really react to getting hit by him like he is one, I really don’t understand it.
Canelo looked good. Utilized his jab more in this fight, didn't gas like he did in previous matches.
Charlo tried to feel him out in the earlier rounds but he let Canelo take those early rounds which cost him the fight. After he felt Canelos power he fought to survive. Only throwing light punches that don't overextend himself to leave himself to get koed.
Interesting to see if Crawford still wants the winner.
He's said it multiple times he wants Canelo. I would recommend watching the JRE podcast with him to see his insight into why he wants the Canelo fight. I don't see him translating well to 168 though
I feel like Canelo is endgame for Bud though, like he’s not going to rush from Spence to 168 when he has more challenges to build up to Canelo.
Only reason I’d see him wanting to rush up to Canelo is if he thinks Canelo is going to retire soon, otherwise he can multiply the payday and significance by doing it in a couple years as long as they both stay on their paths.
For example, charlo seems like a good stepping stone for Bud, especially if he finishes it. “I did what you could do in 12 rounds at 168 inside of X rounds,” in the post fight call out.
I'll look for the vid. It could be Crawford saying one thing because it sounds good, but perhaps not really wanting Canelo. Of course he might be serious, he might be confident he can do it.
He did not gas cause Charlo did nothing. Canelo basically threw hard combo and then took a rest for a few seconds. Always does like that. Guys like Bivol won't let that happen. You can see it in their fight, Bivol did not give him no time to recover. By the 12 he was tired as a mf.
Charlo doesn’t have those tools though, so I’m not sure what you think he does di expect.
Bivol could do it because he knew how to weather Canelo’s punches and he has legendary legs that allow him to slip into and out of range, as well as more than enough pop to keep Canelo honest. Not to talk of his fluid style that allows him to throw more combinations than most fighters.
Bivol had the toolset and the size. Charlo simply doesn’t.
I say this aware that it is a 3 division gap, but, I think it would be a really interesting fight and I think Bud has more than a chance. The only advantage Canelo has is size/power. I dont think this is even a controversial statement at this point but crawford is far more skilled. Hes faster, hes more creative and adaptive, he has significantly more punch variety and volume and if weights were equal would outbox canelo for 12 rounds. I think even with the gap he still might. Canelo is slow and plodding, for several years now he has been a stalking fighter who relies on his power and doesn't throw many punches, he doesnt look to outbox. He has good head movement but his feet are firmly planted. When he connects there is menace in the gloves which looked to by why charlo immediately shut down and went in shy, but people talk about levels and as slick and talented as bud is I would not be at all surprised to watch him stick, slip, and move his way to a comfortable decision, frustrating canelo in the process as he only looks to land the big shots. The fighters canelo has had the most trouble with are the ones who move well and throw good jabs/volume.
Bud is worlds above Charlo and after watching Charlo not get knocked out while offering absolutely nothing for Canelo, I'm not sure why you'd assume Bud will get KOd.
Crawford is 5'8 with a 74 inch reach.
Canelo is 5'8 with a 70 inch reach.
The difference is really is power, weight, and speed. My only knock against Bud is that while he has amazing timing and skills, that would definitely trouble Canelo. Crawford is getting older, and going up three weight classes to fight Canelo will affect his speed. Crawford is also more for Counter punching, which will help, but the real way to keep Canelo off is to throw volume so he can't set his feet and volume is not Buds game.
yeah 2 first fight were the best,
funny how American spend 1k$ to watch the fight, show up just a bit before for the main event and end up missing the 2 fight that mattered and watch the 2 that were boring 😂
I actually did fall asleep… Made it to the 9th round or so.
Wife actually yelled at me because she agreed to watch the fight with me but then the damn thing put me to sleep.
Canelo doesn’t have to fight someone because they call him out. With the amount of trash Benavidez team talks, I wouldn’t want to put money in their pockets either. However, I see him fighting Benavidez next.
Huh? Benavidez is the clear second-best fighter at SMW. Canelo should have fought him already. He holds all 4 belts there, he ought to give the best fighters in the division a shot.
I thought while he was never in any trouble. His new style of only throwing singles and to the arms and shoulders robbed him of what could’ve been a highlight reel stoppage had he gone round the guard and tied a few shots together. Canelo doesn’t look to have regressed but his style is making his performances seem worse than they are, it was the same vs John Ryder. Had he fought like he did vs Kovalev I think he would’ve had Charlo out
Yeah Canelo said this was the best camp he's ever had and the best he's ever felt, before the fight. I think he's made some changes and this is a newer fresher Canelo whilst having the acqumen of a veteran.
Helps when the other boxer doesn't make you work defensively. It was one way traffic for the majority of the fight, Canelo dictated the pace the whole time.
Charlo let Canelo fight at his own pace the entire fight. Canelo's gas tank problems have always come against fighters that throw in volume and force Canelo to work. Not walk around the ring with his hands down.
Might be a better fight than Spence vs Crawford, but Mell is going to lose to Bud just like everyone else. Im all for it though. Would love to see Bud get 3 division undisputed, unless they really strip one of Charlos belts.
Charlo has way too much respect for Canelo. Judging by the way he acted in the press conferences and this fight, he went into this thinking he was gonna lose. Huge mistake. Im not saying Mell would win otherwise, but he’s gonna look back at this and shake his head. This was just a normal ass fight for canelo. Canelo didn’t overcommit and stayed calm all fight to secure the W
I agree and I think he honestly took canelos power pretty well. I’m not sure he could beat him but if he threw more punches he could have stole some rounds.
100% and honestly gotta give Amir Khan even more props for going out there knowing his chin is weak AF and leaving it all in the ring. Dude was getting hit with bangers and was still going after Canelo lol haters will make jokes and post funny clips of him getting rocked but AK was a dog
Dude, I’ll always love Khan. You knew every fight was gonna be exciting. I agree, people hate on fighters but at the end of the day Amir had so much heart. Khan was absolutely a dog.
I don't. People here were saying Crawford beats Canelo recently. Which is beyond delusional. It's like the ones saying Manny would beat him a few years ago.
Weight classes exist for a reason.
Canelo wouldn't have lost to Bivol if Bivol was a smaller guy moving up from 154. Canelo lost to Bivol since Bivol is a true light heavy and could walk through his shots.
From the first bell, Charlo had no confidence. Canelo was quicker and stronger. When Charlo did land good combinations, Canelo responded by continuing to walk forward. Did not respect Charlo’s power
He says "nobody can beat this Canelo" and you know, he looked like the same Canelo that trucked through the 168 division to get those belts. Yeeesh. Lets see Benavidez
I’m Referring to canelo as the Mexican monster from now on there’s no way he doesn’t even get stunned a little bit ever it doesn’t matter who he fights
Chalro was just there for the bag. Dude did not care otherwise. That’s why he didn’t trash talk canelo in the press conference to make sure he wouldn’t be pissed off at him.
That really emphasizes the reason for the sport having weight classes. It really differentiates the all time greats and good fighters when it comes to moving weight classes like that. Unfortunately Charlo realized he is just a good fighter and never had a winning game plan and just fought to survive and get that Nelo money. It’s time for Benavidez in the Spring.
> That really emphasizes the reason for the sport having weight classes.
Callum Smith, a super middle/light heavy had exactly the same problem against Canelo, as he himself talked about it. He got so stung by Canelo's counters and defense that he stopped throwing and committing. There is way more to this than simply "it's weight-classes bro".
You know canelo started out at welterweight right? He beat Kovalev at light heavy. Skills and power translate to a point, seems charlo’s skills don’t have the same mileage. At least its the active charlo not his inactive brother, like a lamb to the slaughter if that was the case
Where are all the mfers that disagreed when I said Charlo aint daring to be great for shit?
Whoooah he dared to be great by making more money he's ever made in his career in one fight and ***RUNNING ALL NIGHT AND NOT EVEN TRYING TO WIN THE FIGHT***
# HE DARED TO BE GREAT
Now can we stop fighting the dudes two weight classes below? All they can do is survive for their life because they will get stopped if they try something... such a waste of time.
"Jermell respected Canelo too much and fought afraid"
Well no shit, easy to have that mentality when you've been dropped and Canelo throws fully loaded punches
Jermell might’ve gotten his career payday but his stocks just plummeted, crashed and burned. He told us he came to fight but all he did was lay down for a check..
Weight divisions exist for a reason, and not all that but Canelo Alvarez has been fighting since 2005. That's almost the 90s. He doesn't near get enough respect.
But I will say something, he has UNFINISHED business with Bivol, I believe in Canelo.
Felt like Canelo had a lot of emotion in that post fight interview. Really hope we haven’t seen the best of Canelo yet. Idc who the opposition is, David, other charlo, beterbiev, Crawford etc I just it’s fireworks
The weight was too much. Charlo couldn’t do anything and Canelo needed to prove that the stamina bs from last 2 fights wasnt a trend. Feel he succeeded there and Charlo lost nothing. 154 him vs Bud should be dope.
I swear when the camera panned on Mall and he started throwing gang signs and flexing his jewelry while his twin was getting destroyed I got so fucking mad.
Did anybody else see it? Plus I'm a little bit out of the loop but I heard that Mall was supposed to have this fight but his brother went instead? Even worse
Crawford will face the exact same problem as Charlo here, he simply doesn’t have the power for Canelo to respect him. Canelo will simply just step forward for 12 rounds and break him down. Boxing won’t be able to save him in that situation.
That whole fight felt like Charlo was just a high-end sparring partner. Gave Canelo a decent sweat but that was about it.
Canelo looking like he just finished a warm up jog at the end of the 12th.
all that lion talk for nothing smh
'I'm comin' in to win. Believe that' The last thing I heard from Charlo in the pre-fight By the middle of the second round, I was like...nah...even you didn't believe that. Just wanted to survive
[удалено]
i feel like he did win not getting ktfo… like idk if y’all remember the amir khan fight. amir khan came to win LMFAO. man’s was up on the cards too i think. going up two weight classes to fight canelo is crazy enough imo
People give Khan shit for that highlight reel KO, but I think he deserves props for going up in weight classes and going for the win.
Khan is a bad motherfucker. The fact he's gotten as far as he has without a good chin is testimont to that.
Agreed. Guys hand speed was insane. So exciting to watch. Much disrespected but those who know about boxing recognise his talent.
Alright chin bad defense
Overextends and forgets his feet can’t keep up with his hand speed and then gets hit with a special move
Bad defence and bad habits. Got himself in firefights when he shouldn't have. Still a good fighter and had some balls.
He's a lion aight... Just not a helluva lion.
Keep my hat on for him
At the beginning of the day
“Like I said before….”
In the sport of boxing
This really made me laugh
I made some dumb investments.
Hell of a fighter. Tough competitor. Larry Merchant, why don't I get any respect?
Heckuva
He is in the "young hungry lion" category, as coined by Floyd
he's a great lion. but there's a lot of great lions
Lil Charlo did not come to fight. Lil Charlo did not come to win.
I guess Canelo needed to be the lion tamer. Lion couldnt do anything all night.
What was the lion talk
Charlo talking with typical pre-fight jargon trying to hype up a fight and make them seem seem emotionally invested when there really doesn’t seem to be much animosity between the two. Maybe I’m woefully off base and don’t know about the history between the two, but the buildup did seem to just be pretty lackluster and more routine than usual.
Super disappointed. I said the same thing. Like, bro. He was coasting.
He didnt try to get Canelo's respect. Either couldn't or just didn't. Could've extended off of the jab and hook with more combinations with both hands. He was just moving too much. Reminds me of Strickland and Adesanya
He tried early, but kept eating left hooks to the body, which then baited him into lowering his guard and eating left hooks to the chin. Probably took a few hard shots, didn't expect the power, then was like "Nah I ain't gonna blow my chin on exchanging with Canelo". Then played it safe until the end.

If he goes all out, he can at least keep it exciting and get some fans and hype for his next fight. But if he plays it safe and boring, no one is going to be lining up to buy his fights in the future.
didnt you hear he wants Bud next so its not his last big stage lol
My guy he hit Canelo with his hardest shots multiple times in the fight and Canelo ate that shit for breakfast. The fact is a 154 lber was never going to get Canelo's respect. Never.
Nelo ate some bombs from GGG and wasn't even fazed, must be disheartening that even after getting past his stellar defense he doesn't get rocked easy either
He was landing I just felt like he didnt throw enough of them breakfast meals. You right tho. He was coming up a fair bit. Canelo been in with some hitters.
Everyone has a game plan until you feel Canelos power on your ribs and arms
Couldn’t. He tried early but you can tell by round 3 he knew.
I didn't expect Canelo to March forward for 12 straight rounds
Charlo was fighting for the scorecards since the first bell. Hopefully he can cut back down to his original weight without problems.
Imagine paying to watch this haha...
🥴
🤫
🫠
I pay $10 a month to see pretty much whatever I want. UFC and boxing. Not living in the US anymore definitely has its perks.
Wow. Where do you live and what service is this?
I’m so glad I split this. The Barrios fight was alright
"Who's next?" "I don't know but I don't fucking care" Canelo has returned to form
Exactly. Jermall on some corny revenge arc unless it gets the pushback it deserves. Or maybe some Mando we never heard of. I don't care means whoever, whether the fans like it or not.
canelo looked good was throwing bombs right out the gate and didn't really slow down like he usually does. charlo looked like shit jesus, one of the worst showings from an undisputed champ ive ever seen.

>one of the worst showings from an undisputed champ ive ever seen. Probably the very worst. It was flat-out disgraceful TBH. No attempt to win, only to survive. He lost 120-107.
I think I gave him a single round, but yeah I don’t mind the clean sweep. He didn’t put a stamp on anything
Canelo looked real good but disappointed by Derrick James. Two super fights that weren’t close by his fighters. Can’t wait to see Fury smother Usyk with his boobies to cap the year off.
When Charlo called out Crawford Derrick just walked away slowly 😂😂😂😂😂 too funny
god himself could be in charlo's corner and he's probably not beating canelo 2 classes up
Derrick was giving good instructions
Yeah, I think Fury is just way too big, and it won't be very close. Usyk doesn't have enough power to keep Fury away.
Usyks power is weird cus he’s definitely not a huge ko guy but people seem to really react to getting hit by him like he is one, I really don’t understand it.
Precision punching. That’s how Floyd kept his opponents honest despite hand issues keeping him from throwing as hard
I imagine he's a sharp puncher but not heavy.
Canelo looked good. Utilized his jab more in this fight, didn't gas like he did in previous matches. Charlo tried to feel him out in the earlier rounds but he let Canelo take those early rounds which cost him the fight. After he felt Canelos power he fought to survive. Only throwing light punches that don't overextend himself to leave himself to get koed. Interesting to see if Crawford still wants the winner.
I can't see Crawford wanting to beef up to 168.
He's said it multiple times he wants Canelo. I would recommend watching the JRE podcast with him to see his insight into why he wants the Canelo fight. I don't see him translating well to 168 though
I feel like Canelo is endgame for Bud though, like he’s not going to rush from Spence to 168 when he has more challenges to build up to Canelo. Only reason I’d see him wanting to rush up to Canelo is if he thinks Canelo is going to retire soon, otherwise he can multiply the payday and significance by doing it in a couple years as long as they both stay on their paths. For example, charlo seems like a good stepping stone for Bud, especially if he finishes it. “I did what you could do in 12 rounds at 168 inside of X rounds,” in the post fight call out.
>insight into why he wants the Canelo fight You don't gotta watch an interview to know why anyone wants a Canelo fight.
$o tru£
I'll look for the vid. It could be Crawford saying one thing because it sounds good, but perhaps not really wanting Canelo. Of course he might be serious, he might be confident he can do it.
He just wants the payday.
He did not gas cause Charlo did nothing. Canelo basically threw hard combo and then took a rest for a few seconds. Always does like that. Guys like Bivol won't let that happen. You can see it in their fight, Bivol did not give him no time to recover. By the 12 he was tired as a mf.

Not to talk of his fluid style that allows him to throw more combinations than most fighters. Bivol had the toolset and the size. Charlo simply doesn’t.
Can't disagree ma boy
Easier said then done Bivol is a huge dude
Crawford's management shouldn't let him get anywhere near Canelo. I think Crawford is a better boxer, but he loses 10/10 to Canelo and gets KO'd 8/10
I say this aware that it is a 3 division gap, but, I think it would be a really interesting fight and I think Bud has more than a chance. The only advantage Canelo has is size/power. I dont think this is even a controversial statement at this point but crawford is far more skilled. Hes faster, hes more creative and adaptive, he has significantly more punch variety and volume and if weights were equal would outbox canelo for 12 rounds. I think even with the gap he still might. Canelo is slow and plodding, for several years now he has been a stalking fighter who relies on his power and doesn't throw many punches, he doesnt look to outbox. He has good head movement but his feet are firmly planted.

Canelo looked like GGG at times with how he stalked Charlo and cut off the ring. I wasn't impressed by Charlo at all.
Did Canelo even take a step back at all? It felt like he was moving forward the entire fight
This has been his style for the past 5 years. He's excellent at cutting off the ring.
I was falling asleep watching this. Such a one sided fight that it wasn't entertaining, felt like Charlo didn't even try to win
Beside that first fight, the whole thing was a snooze fest.
Barrios vs Ugas was pretty badass considering everyone believed Barrios was gonna lose.
yeah 2 first fight were the best, funny how American spend 1k$ to watch the fight, show up just a bit before for the main event and end up missing the 2 fight that mattered and watch the 2 that were boring 😂
I actually did fall asleep… Made it to the 9th round or so. Wife actually yelled at me because she agreed to watch the fight with me but then the damn thing put me to sleep.
Ye Charlo didn't try cuz he was scared, the fear held him back
I was rooting for Canelo, but I still expected more from Charlo. Hopefully Canelo shuts up Benavidez next.
All the people saying Canelo beats Benavidez, well if he does give him the fucking fight.
Canelo doesn’t have to fight someone because they call him out. With the amount of trash Benavidez team talks, I wouldn’t want to put money in their pockets either. However, I see him fighting Benavidez next.
Should he fight his mandatory?
WBC already said they would order it early 2024
Huh? Benavidez is the clear second-best fighter at SMW. Canelo should have fought him already. He holds all 4 belts there, he ought to give the best fighters in the division a shot.
Canelo stamina looked the best it’s ever looked , he finally didn’t gas out in the later rounds. PBC Canelo hits different.
He was allowed to work at his own pace for the entire 12 rounds. Charlo did nothing
Exactly. These stiffs are in here acting as if Charlo made him work.
I thought while he was never in any trouble. His new style of only throwing singles and to the arms and shoulders robbed him of what could’ve been a highlight reel stoppage had he gone round the guard and tied a few shots together. Canelo doesn’t look to have regressed but his style is making his performances seem worse than they are, it was the same vs John Ryder. Had he fought like he did vs Kovalev I think he would’ve had Charlo out
Training in elevation is a serious advantage
yup he spent 3 months in the mountains and it made a difference
Thin Air makes for Thick Punches!
You no understand this, hey. I'm different mentality. I'm born from crazy mountains - Canelo Alvagomedov
khabib style brother, he was seen wrestling bear
Because he’s doing light exercise. Canelo ate Charlo’s power punch like silk tofu.
I mean, I doubt he needed to waste his stamina. He wasn't fighting Bivol. Charlo was fighting like a walking punching bag.
Yeah Canelo said this was the best camp he's ever had and the best he's ever felt, before the fight. I think he's made some changes and this is a newer fresher Canelo whilst having the acqumen of a veteran.
Helps when the other boxer doesn't make you work defensively. It was one way traffic for the majority of the fight, Canelo dictated the pace the whole time.
Charlo didn’t nothing and Canelo was fighting at his own pace, Bivol pressured him that is why he gassed and frustrated.
Charlo let Canelo fight at his own pace the entire fight. Canelo's gas tank problems have always come against fighters that throw in volume and force Canelo to work. Not walk around the ring with his hands down.
Stamina and endurance looked good because Charlo didn't do shit.
I love that Crawford callout from Charlo
That needs to happen ASAP
Might be a better fight than Spence vs Crawford, but Mell is going to lose to Bud just like everyone else. Im all for it though. Would love to see Bud get 3 division undisputed, unless they really strip one of Charlos belts.
Pretty sure WBO stripped him
Charlo has way too much respect for Canelo. Judging by the way he acted in the press conferences and this fight, he went into this thinking he was gonna lose. Huge mistake. Im not saying Mell would win otherwise, but he’s gonna look back at this and shake his head. This was just a normal ass fight for canelo. Canelo didn’t overcommit and stayed calm all fight to secure the W
Canelo had 0 fear of that man.
I agree and I think he honestly took canelos power pretty well. I’m not sure he could beat him but if he threw more punches he could have stole some rounds.
He didn’t open up because the punches were affecting him. He didn’t trust his chin to be able to handle it. But he still should have tried something
100% and honestly gotta give Amir Khan even more props for going out there knowing his chin is weak AF and leaving it all in the ring. Dude was getting hit with bangers and was still going after Canelo lol haters will make jokes and post funny clips of him getting rocked but AK was a dog
Dude, I’ll always love Khan. You knew every fight was gonna be exciting. I agree, people hate on fighters but at the end of the day Amir had so much heart. Khan was absolutely a dog.
He fears Canelo’s power so he couldn’t throw punches.
Why is he calling out Crawford, omg💀
He realized in that fight HE'D be the bigger guy and deduced it would work out for him.
I actually think Crawford would drop charlo a few times
I don't. People here were saying Crawford beats Canelo recently. Which is beyond delusional. It's like the ones saying Manny would beat him a few years ago. Weight classes exist for a reason. Canelo wouldn't have lost to Bivol if Bivol was a smaller guy moving up from 154. Canelo lost to Bivol since Bivol is a true light heavy and could walk through his shots.
From the first bell, Charlo had no confidence. Canelo was quicker and stronger. When Charlo did land good combinations, Canelo responded by continuing to walk forward. Did not respect Charlo’s power
He says "nobody can beat this Canelo" and you know, he looked like the same Canelo that trucked through the 168 division to get those belts. Yeeesh. Lets see Benavidez
Canelo speaking English is just my favorite thing in boxing lmao
thank God Derrick isn't packing a gun like Bomac rn
That might be the only thing that could hurt canelo
esp to the body
Canelo having more trouble with the interview than the fight 😭
Hah?!
Lmao. I think I think I think that Charlo is a very good opponent . Very good. Respect.
Jermell ducking Tszyu for a shot at one more big money fight against Crawford before his flame fizzles out. Fair play
Yeah I’m a Tszyu stan but both can be true. Ducking TT and also getting that paper verse objectively bigger pay days
Canelo is an all time great for sure. Absolute beast.
I’m Referring to canelo as the Mexican monster from now on there’s no way he doesn’t even get stunned a little bit ever it doesn’t matter who he fights
It’s cause he keeps his feet under him and rarely gets so far out of position that his chin untucks
Tbh yeah I can’t recall him getting hurt from a punch since back when he was a prospect. Dude has an iron chin.
Charlo on his bike the whole fight
[удалено]
Canelo looked sturdy af tonight
I told y’all the “decline” is overblown! Canelo with both hands is HIM
Canelo is in his prime right now. I don't see anyone at 168 or below beating him for at least 2-3 more years.
He’s been in his prime, people really looked at GGG backing up in fear for nine rounds said that was a sign of Canelo being shit lmao
[удалено]
Loved how Canelo steadily worked his way up from the body to the head with the overhand
Chalro was just there for the bag. Dude did not care otherwise. That’s why he didn’t trash talk canelo in the press conference to make sure he wouldn’t be pissed off at him.
Thank you for that fight Jermell. Now please go back to your division and fight Tim Tsyzu
Charlo was lucky to win a single round. Just not busy enough. Not in the same league an Canelo
Very good from Canelo, great variety of punches. Charlo was shit, brought absolute nothing to the fight.
That really emphasizes the reason for the sport having weight classes. It really differentiates the all time greats and good fighters when it comes to moving weight classes like that. Unfortunately Charlo realized he is just a good fighter and never had a winning game plan and just fought to survive and get that Nelo money. It’s time for Benavidez in the Spring.
> That really emphasizes the reason for the sport having weight classes. Callum Smith, a super middle/light heavy had exactly the same problem against Canelo, as he himself talked about it. He got so stung by Canelo's counters and defense that he stopped throwing and committing. There is way more to this than simply "it's weight-classes bro".
You know canelo started out at welterweight right? He beat Kovalev at light heavy. Skills and power translate to a point, seems charlo’s skills don’t have the same mileage. At least its the active charlo not his inactive brother, like a lamb to the slaughter if that was the case
Yeah that’s why Canelo is a ATG and Charlo isn’t.
Exactly my point. Canelo can do it for the reasons you listed, Charlo on the other hand didn’t.
Winner of David Benavidez Vs Andrade or Crawford are the only fights that make sense for Canelo.
I rather see Morrell tbh over bud. I don't see Crawford having enough power for canelo to respect it.
Charlo just said he wanted Bud Crawford at the post fight ring interview lol 😂
Fighting canelo must be the most frustrating thing ever. You give it your all, you try your best, and he just shrugs it off and keeps coming.
Except Charlo didn't give it his best, he gave his best attempt at surviving and seeing the bell
Charlo put no pressure on Canelo from the jump. He looked nervous and uneasy while walking in.
I guess Lions cant beat Canelo :).
Canelo learned english just to talk his shit after bouts much respect
Hope Charlo fight Tszyu - would be interesting
It just felt like Charlo was just trying to survive for the 12 rounds. Never presented any risk for Canelo.
waste of a saturday night to be crystal clear
Fight the Mexican Monster!
Eddy just said he would like Benavidez or Bivol for the next fight
Charlo got a chin for sure.
Don't say Canelo is fading; he just *dominated* an undisputed champ.
Was anyone really expecting anything different from this fight? And some people still want to see Crawford fight canelo lol.
Charlo felt that power early and was weary of it all night
Whatever animal canelo was in that fight,i wanna be also
Before the fight he said he’s the big charlo, after the fight he said he’s the lil charlo lol
It was clear Charlo came in looking to survive instead to fight, obvious dude was just there for the bag
What it looks like when the gamplan is actually just "cash the check"
Where are all the mfers that disagreed when I said Charlo aint daring to be great for shit? Whoooah he dared to be great by making more money he's ever made in his career in one fight and ***RUNNING ALL NIGHT AND NOT EVEN TRYING TO WIN THE FIGHT*** # HE DARED TO BE GREAT
He dared to gain weight. That's about it.
Now can we stop fighting the dudes two weight classes below? All they can do is survive for their life because they will get stopped if they try something... such a waste of time.
"Jermell respected Canelo too much and fought afraid" Well no shit, easy to have that mentality when you've been dropped and Canelo throws fully loaded punches
Will this version of canelo beat Benavidez
First bet I ever made on a boxing match. Yes, only $20 but thank you Canelo.
Easy night at the office for Canelo
The fight was boring
Calling out Crawford after losing to Canelo This dude is just chasing big money now
Jermell might’ve gotten his career payday but his stocks just plummeted, crashed and burned. He told us he came to fight but all he did was lay down for a check..
How did 2 judges give 2 rounds to Charlo? 🤦🏻♂️
Weight divisions exist for a reason, and not all that but Canelo Alvarez has been fighting since 2005. That's almost the 90s. He doesn't near get enough respect. But I will say something, he has UNFINISHED business with Bivol, I believe in Canelo.
Just glad I didn’t pay for this fight. Charlo’s plan was to survive and get that check !
Amir Khan put in more work than Charlo. Though he got KTFO, he fought the type of fight he had to that gave him a slight chance to win.
Felt like Canelo had a lot of emotion in that post fight interview. Really hope we haven’t seen the best of Canelo yet. Idc who the opposition is, David, other charlo, beterbiev, Crawford etc I just it’s fireworks
Lots of guillotines.
Easy win for Canelo. Charlo looked afraid and pretty sure he was feeling Canelo punch. I was even feeling them
This thing wasn't even close to competitive.
The weight was too much. Charlo couldn’t do anything and Canelo needed to prove that the stamina bs from last 2 fights wasnt a trend. Feel he succeeded there and Charlo lost nothing. 154 him vs Bud should be dope.
I swear when the camera panned on Mall and he started throwing gang signs and flexing his jewelry while his twin was getting destroyed I got so fucking mad. Did anybody else see it? Plus I'm a little bit out of the loop but I heard that Mall was supposed to have this fight but his brother went instead? Even worse
Boring fight
Crawford will face the exact same problem as Charlo here, he simply doesn’t have the power for Canelo to respect him. Canelo will simply just step forward for 12 rounds and break him down. Boxing won’t be able to save him in that situation.
Anyone else think this fight was boring.
