Santos Saúl Álvarez Barragán vs. Jermall DeAndre Charlo

This is a good fight & intriguing while also appealing to a diverse crowd,

Didn't know they were negotiating this, better late than never as now Canelo has also slowed down & aged some more.

 

Exactly my thoughts I thought the same when he fought Bivol. Fair enough the moneys there from the Saudis and from the Bivol fight it was there from the DAZN investors, who were making a loss, but what's left at the end of it for Canelo if he gets beat off Jack which I think he will based off their respective most recent performances? Could be him finished in terms of marketability.

 

alamodome. 2 hours from mexico and its huge. plus, i can drive to it in 10 minutes, lol.

 

The only thing going for Charlo is that 168 is a better weight for him so he might have some more energy. He just doesn't throw enough punches these days to stand much of a chance if recent performances are any guide.

I think the Ryder who showed up against Canelo beats him too.

It's crazy to think about how that seemed to be a real thing at one point, that Canelo was ducking Charlo.

I forgot about that one. What a sad display that was.

It's weird to think of Jack as a high risk, high reward fight but there is nothing Canelo loves more than a belt in a new weight class (besides golf).

If he beats Jack expect a 201lbs catchweight fight for the HW title when the belts split up again. I could see it being against Briedis.

 

I think Canelo should take this handily and probably sits Charlo on his ass along the way. The two year layoff is a lot of rust to shake off going straight into a big fight like this.

 

I like this fight but how did Canelo decide on this fight out of no where. There's more money out there with Benavidez or Bivol, and Charlo has been inactive. First I hear them wanting a cruiser weight shot now this. I don't believe it but if it gets made, it's a good scrap.

 

From what I understand both Charlo and Jack are still in play.

Canelo's camp has expressed interest in Charlo multiple times, said his name outright as someone they wanted.

I'm gonna be the odd man out here, Charlo by UD12. I've told everyone for years that they underrate both Charlos. My prophecy will be fulfilled

 

Could it happen in Texas?

 

Canelo fighting a two year inactive Charlo.....classic Canelo

 

It's not his fault Bivol don't want it. He's gotta fight somebody. Mall's been waiting for this moment his whole life. Give him his shot. It's arguably the biggest fight out there, even bigger than Benavidez.

 

Jermall got schooled by Korobov and should have also lost and Deryvanchenko. He's a grade A weight bully.

It's typical that Canelo is fighting a guy who is two years inactive, is it not? two years is a long period of time to go not being in the ring
