Canelo Dominates Charlo |
|
By William Trillo
Photos: German Villasenor
Any hopes or dreams that Saul “Canelo” Alvarez (60-2-2,
39 KO’s) would fade in the late rounds versus Jermell
Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KO’s) have been squashed. Looking
sharper than we have seen lately, a polished Canelo was
in complete control from the start and remained so until
the final bell rang after twelve impressive rounds. It
was the type of performance that will keep Alvarez on
top of the Pound4Pound rankings for the remainder of
2023.

My Canelo vs. Charlo Theory
Relatively Speaking |
|
By William Trillo
With the big fight only hours away I figured it was a
good time to use a little Grey Matter and break down
what I believe is going to happen in the main event in
Las Vegas. Canelo Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KO’s) will be
defending all four of his 168-pound belts as he goes up
against Jermell Charlo (35-1-1, 19 KO’s) in this
anticipated attraction.
Although Charlo has been considered a "Live Dog" by some
experts, I believe he has bit off more than he can chew
and will fall to Canelo’s strengths before the final
bell rings, and here are my reasons why;

Sport Chairman: "November 25 at The 3Arena, live and
exclusive on DAZN, the undisputed World
Super-Lightweight Championship with the champion
Chantelle Cameron against Katie Taylor.
"Last time around, in my opinion, we had one of the
greatest atmosphere’s we’ve witnessed in many year of
promoting shows around the world, it was incredible.
Katie suffered her first professional defeat at the
hands of an outstanding Chantelle. This time, whether
people like to talk about it or not, legacy is on the
line, belts are on the line, careers may be on the line.
It’s a must-win fight for both as we look forward to an

As I sat at the Golden Boy press conference on Thursday
afternoon, I was feeling a bit nostalgic remembering
when I was just cutting my journalistic teeth in the
sport as I watched and covered young fighters like
Librado Andrade, Enrique Ornelas and Victor Ortiz begin
their careers. As much as I enjoy covering the big
fights, it’s always a treat to speak with young boxers
who are looking to put their names on the pugilistic
map. For the most part, all these guys are genuine, all
they want to do is let their actions in the ring show
fans who they are and what they are all about. In this
day and age of “Look At Me” Social Media stars who are
more interested in how many hits their webpage is
getting than they are about their Punchstat hits, it’s a
real treat to find out about these young men.
