Canelo Vs. Chavez Jr. Fight Night Weight Predictions

[Bjl12]

Canelo: 162 up to 171

JCC: 165 up to 177 (but will look bigger)

Canelo UD unless JCC/Roach quit. Similar to Sergio fight but Canelo is better than Sergio

I think Canelo will come in lighter than 164.5, maybe even under 160 to make a point.
Footwork and angles will be the key to this one. Jr. will be bigger but not that much bigger. Canelo will be in and out quickly and constantly turning Jr. to where he wants him.

Roach hasn't trained Jr. in almost 5 years...

What makes you think Canelo will come lighter than usual?

Canelo is the smaller fighter in this fight. I think his training will focus on stamina, speed, and explosiveness. He'll be more compact and will still sit on his counter-shots (of which there will be a TON), but I wouldn't be surprised to see him move a bit more and definitely attack the body even more than we're used to seeing.

It would be a fool's plan to try and outpower a much bigger man. Easier ways to win the fight w/o taking punishment in my mind
