Canelo a -300 favorite. Last week it was -200. Wouldn't be surprised if it gets back to -200 as the fight gets closer. A lot of people feel canelo's best days are behind him.
Ryder was able to snap canelo's head back quite a bit. And I think jermell will definitely have more pop than Ryder at 168. More than the droff off in hand speed, I've been surprised by canelo's decline in head movement. He's still solid defensively, but it was rare you actually see him get hit flush. Now it happens often.
I can't see jermell getting hit with those big right hands that canelo likes to load up on in the corner. Jermell will make him pay for those. Canelo will have to tighten up a lot of things now that he's dealing with a faster guy with more athleticism. If jermell isn't scared to lead and strike first he can frustrate canelo. And when canelo gets frustrated he gets more desperate. And that'll give jermell plenty of openings to land something big.

I think Charlo will definitely be going strong the first 10 rounds if Canelo come in with a sustained body attack this time.

You think Canelo will be able to walk him down? I think if Nelo can walk him down or/and keep the fight in the center of the ring, he should be ok. Gotta work Charlo's body and break him down

I think canelo will come forward but I can't see him being able to walk through Charlo. I think Darrick James is gonna have jermell stand his ground early on. Keeping the jab in canelo's face and countering every time canelo over leverages himself. I think Jermell's power will carry over just fine. Should at least be on Danny Jacobs level.
If Charlo can be patient and not get dragged into a firefight early he can gas canelo out. Just can't get reckless and has to stay behind the jab. Then slowly up the pace as canelo's stamina and work rate fade away. He could possibly hurt canelo late. Canelo in the last 5 rounds of the John Ryder fight is gonna have serious problems with the athleticism. Just depends on whether or not Charlo has the discipline and focus to pull it off. Cause even though canelo has slowed down he's still really good at setting traps and catching guys off guard.
Charlo moves too well to be a sucker for that though

Spence also says weight won't be a problem cause jermell is a naturally big guy. And also noted if you see jermell and Canelo together jermell is basically the same size just taller. Said he thinks jermell will be better at 168.

This pic old as shyt though, and Mell tends to he in shape year round while Nelo prob legit settled into hisnfram now.
That said hopefully Mell doesnt try to get to 168 and is more so just “cutting less weight”

I remember mell saying he was 10 lbs over the limit during his castano training camp. So safe to say he probably comes into training camp around 170. And he looks over 170 from this pic the other day.
I know him and Mall are cyclist and them DJ boys gas tank is something else.
If mell can keep his gas tank and power carries up all he has to do is not overthink like he did in Castano 1 and shyt should be interesting

No doubt about it..Canelo fans think this is a joke and he's gonna get walked down and knocked out in 6 rounds. Nah..Charlo moves around too well for that.

am i wrong for thinking if charlo can take errols punchs in sparring for yearsX, then he can take canelos
Yea imo. Well not wrong, cause i see why you’d say that, but Canelo got some POP!
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
And he faced Bivol who is a massive risk for anyone and has a legit chance at beating beterbiev. I'm looking at other fighters and next to no one taking these risks. Fury fighting an mma fighter instead of what he calls a midget who he is heavily favored against for undisputedAll this is showing is how boxing fans truly don't appreciate what canelo has done fighting in multiple weight divisions. When he moved up two divisions to fight kovalev it was "who cares"
Now that jermell is doing it all of a sudden people seem to get it. All of a sudden they understand how tough it is to move up two divisions and fight a killer
Boxing fans man
Beterbiev and bivol absolutely not facing each other and won't be for years
GGG giving up his belts for whatever reason maybe retiring and 160 looking basura
Jermall missing out on this payday and getting drunk while his brother picks up his slack
People calling out canelo but sitting on their hands doing jack shyt
Vast majority of fighters haven't accomplished a fraction of what canelo has if we keep it real. For almost a decade all but 2 of his opponents were world champions. He got 17 world titles. I've criticised him on several things for sure but if you look at everyone else they ain't doing shyt in comparison.
