First, he CLEARLY won the fight, but the cards don't do the nature of the fight justice. He was getting hit far too often. he was cut and busted up by someone who should have NO BUSINESS doing that much damage to Charlo. First title fight for Montiel. First 12 rounder for goodness sake. This fight did nothing good for Charlo's stock. Does anyone actually think this vision of Charlo beats a Canelo?
not the best fight but will give him a pass.. needs to fight a GGG or andrade if wants to really prove himself at 160.
Montiel really prepared for this opportunity and he took alot of punishment but didn’t fold. It’s really time for Andrade and Charlo to fight each other or move up.
I personally thought Mall was going to wipe the floor with Montiel. credit to both men, Montiel came to win but Charlo actually did win. Even Munguía would have likely walked down & KO’d this version of Charlo though. time to go back to the Lab for mall & tighten up on some things.
Most people on these boards hate the Charlos, he put up an entertaining fight. I'm not surprised by the criticism.
Montiel had two left feet and no power and by end of fight was walking Charlo down. Not a good fight for Charlo. He’s simply a decent fighter, well managed waiting for better fighters to age out.
Why do you think Golovkin is washed up? He beat Canelo twice in my opinion, and he looked strong like an oax against Szeremeta. Wasted Derevyanchenko and Rolls in the meantime.
I don't think either of the Charlos are really anything special. But they think they are god's gift to boxing with their trinket belts. Wonder what they are making?
