Why? I was a canelo hater originally but between this and the bivol fight you have to give nelo
credit. Charlo is a natural middleweight and canelo is a 160-168er.

I think you’re thinking of the other charlo. Canelo is fighting jermell, the undisputed 154er. Jarmall is the middleweight.

I will never understand Canelo's decision making when it comes to making fights, sure this fight is attractive and will probably be entertaining but wtf.....If Canelo wins he beat someone who jumped up from 154, if Canelo loses he lost to someone who jumped up from 154

I mean Spence is even smaller and there were talks of that. F it

[ThunderFists]

canelo didnt fight benavidez and charlo didnt fight tszyu. good fight though.

tszyu will get the wbo and i hope lubin finally can get the wbc

[Liondw]

Did I read this correctly? Jermell, not Jermall Charlo, lined up for Canelo.

Oh man, that's a huge surprise, and I think it's also exciting. But yes, what does this mean if official, no Tim Tszyu anymore for Jermell? I guess we need to hear more details.

They should let the Charlo brothers be able to tag each other in on fight night WWE style.
He would beat both their asses in the same night.

Gotta give Canelo credit for pulling someone up two divisions?

[boxing IQ]

That's crazy. Definitely did NOT see this one coming.

I might be in the minority here, but this could have the makings of a pretty good fight. Jermell looked good against Castaño, and him and Canelo are at roughly the same walk-around weight. Canelo just competes at that weight where as Jermell still gets down to 154.

Kind of excited about this one.

[Greenfield02]

This has not been confirmed yet, if you do your research, you will find some people reporting Jermell others Jermall so who knows what's going on. Some confusion here.

Making the bigger Charlo move up after a long layoff wasn't good enough of an advantage for Canelito. He needed the smaller Charlo to move up multiple divisions after breaking his hand and having a layoff of his own. Canelo really is a puta, perra, pendejo
