Comments Thread For: Jermell Charlo Says He's Bigger Puncher Than Canelo: 'That's Going To Be The Surprise'

[satiev1]

Canelo is an elite all time great counter puncher with very good defense. Charlo is trained under derrick james. Very basic 1-2's and can only come at you in a straight line. Charlo does use angles at times but his attack arsenal is limited. Canelo is gonna time that easy all night long and possibly stop him.

I don't know about Charlo being the bigger puncher but he is definitely the more athletic and faster of the two fighters. Canelo nowadays is looking very lethargic, old and slow.

Charlo is gonna need a knockout to win.

Charlo will be very active and mobile during early rounds ,maybe he could take some advantages over downhill canelo ,lot people think hes slipping already. Despite both being undisputed with 1 division in between this fight seems intriguing.

I think you're missing Charlo's left hook which has been lethal in a number of fights, including his last fight. Maybe he will throw more of them in this fight.

You do realize that there is not a SINGLE elite fighter that GGG has ever stopped don't you?

Hilarious that you don't consider a world champion elite. Kell Brook was elite. Stop trying so hard.

I believe him when he said he's a bigger puncher than canelo, the ginger ain't a one punch ko artist, the problem for charlo is that the guy has a sturdy chin. He needs to box canelo and hit with him, stay away from the ropes.

I agree with almost all of the previous posts/comments. Still, I can't shake the memory of Pac/DLH. I felt at the time that Pac was chosen because he was small. He was forced to jump two weight classes. Oscar was well beyond his best with heavy mileage on the odometer. Canelo has been far more between-fight professional, living a healthier lifestyle, yet, he has no doubt rolled the odometer twice over at this point. Sometimes a great can run for a few years a few quarts low. Throw him in with the wrong type of foe and it can suddenly all come apart in one night.

Pac was moving up, but DLH was also moving down to a weight he hadn't made in 7 years. Canelo seems comfortable at 168, and Jermell is the one moving up to face him.

Talking about power as if Charlo intends to sit in the pocket and exchange is the quickest way to get knocked out.

I would like to see Charlo do whatever he thinks he's going to do, and when it doesn't work, f^&*K Canelo and F^&*k the fight, take a knee & big money and go home.

I hope and his team actually believe that. He goes toe to toe he gets stopped early.
More likely he’ll eat a few counters and body shots and go into survival mode hoping to see the final bell.
