Imo definitely a mistake. Dude already looks lean and cut at 160. Derv has never been a big puncher either and relies on his workrate to win fights. Even a move to 168 would be better. Again imo.
You don't move down at this age. I don't know where he has an extra 6 lbs to lose comfortably. He's never even fought at 154. No point in doing it now.
He should try to make 154. Charlo should be fighting at 168/175, there is a big difference in weight between them. Canelo walks around at 185+ and has already been up to 175. Too many fighters are draining down three weight classes to fight in divisions they shouldn't be in.
