Cash grab for both. Jermell is going to take a whooping that night and get paid

Charlo getting blasted out. These ridiculous fights just never work out well for the smaller guy “going for greatness.”

[MMegatron]

He's gonna get blasted like Brook against GGG

[Roadblock]

All he has to do is come in at 160.1, literally, to make weight. Don't balloon too high and lose your speed.

He would step in the ring at around 164/8 fight night with a 154 weigh-in

The biggest difference between junior middleweight and super middleweight Jermell will be the dehydration and rehydration ordeal he must endure to make 154. I doubt his ring weight difference will be more than 4-5 pounds.

It seems to me that he best keep light and try and score score score. It is hard to win rounds against Canelo because his punches look really impactful and therefore he gets the nod more often than not when it is a close round.
I cannot imagine he hurts Canelo. This is a huge uphill battle for him.

The excuses are coming . If you're not happy with the conditions don't sign up for the fight assclown.

Not long ago, Nell wasn't a legit 160 guy. It's not a big deal to me what charlo is doing. Yes, it's a bigger deal as he's doing it without acclimatising, but to me charlo will be a 175 guy one day anyway, just fast tracked now.

[trippleupper]

He can come in at whatever he wants.... as long as it is under 168. He can come in at 138 if he wants to.

Actually, he can't. Fight wouldn't be sanctioned.

[Charlie Zelenoff]

Charlo has brought this on himself.
