    One of the biggest cherrypicks of all time. The smaller Jermello has no chance whatsoever. He can't outbox Canelo and he can't knock him out. He has no chance. This is a joke of a fight.

    Canelo hasn't looked good since fighting Plant. Jermell has a big chance.

    how is charlo smaller than canelo ??? He is a weight bully and he is actually like 3 inches taller than Canelo .
    If you trying to tell me that fighters need time to acclimate at higher weight class I agree , but charlo isn’t smaller than Canelo , he is actually more of Bivol size .
    I just don’t think Charlos are good , I think both of them are massively overrated low skill boxers with good power.
    Bivol on the other hand is highly skilled ,much better boxer than both Charlos and fought better opposition , I just find him boring to watch because he is featherfisted.

    Bivol is very good, kind Calzaghe like in his dominance as well. He is not feather fisted though. Just a great boxer. At one time he was touted as a puncher by HBO in the beginning.

    Charlo is going to win, because the fight is fixed.
    Canelo is being bribed to lose, just like he was bribed to lose when he fought Floyd Mayweather.

    That why PBC has a 3 fight deal with Canelo, because there will be a rematch.

    Charlo jumps with the jab like Khan, it`s easy to time.

    Good timing, but limited reactions.

    Bump. Fight is tonight. Jermell seems to be in good shape and appears bigger. I expect it to be entertaining but still not sure of his chances against a more skilled boxer like Canelo.

    You think Charlo can do what Bivol did? Keep the distance with footwork and a jab. I know Bivol is good, but the ease in which he beat Canelo with pretty much a jab and movement makes me believe Canelo will always struggle against someone with an educated jab. His history confirms that in my opinion.

    What, don't you guys trust Freddie Roach?

    “I think Charlo will have too much firepower for Canelo to handle, especially at the higher weight. Canelo needs to stay away from Charlo’s left hook. The question is, can Canelo stay away from Charlo’s left hook? I don’t think he can, that’s why I’m picking Charlo by stoppage.”

    A genius or a madman.

    Well we saw what happened tonight. Charlo has never been a good boxer off the back foot, hence why he lost to Harrison. Charlo doesn't know how to counter punch, without that he posed to threat on the back foot to Canelo and Canelo could just walk him down at his leisure.

    A good jab isn't enough to beat Canelo, if that was the case he would of lost to a bunch of other guys with good jabs. You need the ability to counter and prevent him from doing what he likes to do which is pressure to draw counters. Move, jab yes, but also slip, block and counter, make Canelo hesitate and take away his counter punching by countering him, all things Charlo never had in his arsenal.
