    Honestly it's the better fight at this point. Jermell actually goes for it. He swings for the fences and takes chances to win. It will be entertaining, more entertaining than most recent Canelo fights I expect.

    It seems ridiculous that he is jumping two weight classes to do it, but he's easily got the size to do it, he probably should have been at MW or SMW the past 3-4 years.

    I hope Canelo destroys him in 1 round and it flops. Canelo could have demanded a better opponent but this is the work of Al Haymon. Haymon and PBC are desperate to stop the financial hemorrhaging and can't risk Canelo taking an L on the first fight.

    Especially considering Charlo has never fought above 154, I don't think he should bulk up to fight Canelo. He almost certainly would not carry all that extra weight well. He doesn't even know how he'd compete at 160. He should not put on anything that he couldn't easily lose to get back down to 154 again.

    As a Canelo supporter I'm really disappointed he took this route, when there was plenty of fighters in his division that are calling his name. This is a gimmick match, nothing more nothing less and it's fights like this that's giving boxing a black eye. It's prizefighting, but these pointless fights need to stop being made.

    Well it's a shame he's doing it right after the Ryder fight. He should have fought Benavidez then Jermell if he wanted to take a step back.

    I agree, Benevidez should have been first.

    Canelo by KO makes the most sense here. I suspect this is a cash out for Jermell.

    Jermello opted for a cash out against the cash cow Clenelo as opposed to taking a career ending beating from Eurasian King Tszyu and losing all his belts at 154 to him in one fell swoop.

    Tszyu moseyed on into Charlo Town on his Eurasian mule, ran up on Sheriff Jermello and gave him a death stare, ripped Sheriff Jermello's sheriff badge from his lapel before placing it on his own one and announcing himself as the new sheriff to the townsfolk. Sheriff Tszyu ran Jermello out of his own town and he ain't welcome round those parts no more.

    I think it is very brave to take on the Charlo which is moving up 2 weight classes. After all, a Lomachenko-Canelo fight would be HUGE. Maybe Saul will have Loma next time.

    Man, what the **** is going on, straight from left field, curve ball. Who asked for this ****, massive fail all around.
    First Canelo should've fought the only fight that makes the most sense and everyone wants, Benavidez. Then they BS us with the older inactive Charlo, then they switch it up to the other injured Charlo who all of a sudden is ready for the monster at 168 with no tune up, but no Tszyu.
    Yea, the older Charlo showed straight ***** moves to let them fight youm younger bro. **** mental illness, you are supposed to protect your family, as you are closer in weight to Canelo than Jermell.

    Yea now I see the hate on the Charlos. Self sabotage.
