[Boxing] Canelo Alvarez vs Jermell Charlo - September 30th in Las Vegas

[cryptomaniac_xxx]

^^ Might be first time that we are going to see a 3 divisional and unified champion if Crawford chooses to fight the winner of the Charlo vs Canelo. But then again, if Charlo is going to move up 2 division, Crawford will have to do 3 here from 147 lbs to 168 lbs and it's a big jump that no one has done before.

So it's a big challenge for him, although I wanted to see him going for Charlo's belt 154 lbs (if he is not stripped of it fighting Canelo here). It will be extra ordinary for him to just 3 weight classes and then beat Canelo at 168 lbs.

If Crawford can pull that one successfully, it will be on the history books and that is the kind of record that could be unbeatable even if someone will try to pull that kind of move again in the future because it's not something that can be done easily. Crawford already did a history and adding another undisputed title in another division will definitely put him on the top of every boxer that has been around in the industry.

But the question is, can he pull that one off? It will be a risky one because he is still undefeated and regarding that jump, he needed to add 9 kilograms more or 11 pounds more just to get a fight against the one and only Canelo Alvarez.

Jumping in weight class is really risky, just like I said before, Roy Jones took that route going as high as Heavyweight but it took a toll on him when the tries to go down in weight as his body reacted different from a drastic weight cut.

Of course it's going to be one for the books, but if he is willing to do that and take a risk to go up and add from a super welterweight to super middleweight, it will be one hard to break and that is one record that will not be broken for a long time.

Canelo has a 3-fight deal with PBC and I expect those fights will be against the Charlos twins and then Jose Benavidez. But if Crawford is serious in his ambitions then Canelo might have an easy way of doing that PBC deal and at the same time makes more money. Canelo after Jermell will probably take on Jermall next as he won't allow that guy to fully recover from his inactivity and then late next year he will take Bud Crawford who's nearing 37 by that time. Benavidez will never get his chance of a title shot and the corrupt WBC won't mind him.

Crawford was probably being convinced by his team to take the Canelo fight because of the huge money involved. Bud already mentioned before that there is no way he is moving up to 168 and 175 and he sees Canelo as someone too big. If he is now convinced to fight Canelo then it will be the end of his undefeated streak. At 168 he will be heavier, and slower, and at 37 his reflexes are diminishing and I doubt his power can hurt Canelo who's been campaigning and fighting the bigger guys for some years already.

What's with this boxers though jumping in weight class, I wanted to think that they wanted to challenge the best and proved who is better. But as you have said, it no more that macho thingy, it's all about the money that they can generated right now before their retire and for sure this is in the minds of Crawford, and it's a win-wint for him. If he beat Canelo then his name is in the record books for sure. But if he lose, then he can still fight Charlo at 154 lbs and become a 3 weight division unified champ and again, it's all about the money today.

Obviously, it has evolved that anyone can challenge the other champions of the division, specially in the likes of Crawford who has clean up the best of the 147 lbs. Unlike before wherein we see boxers claiming to be the best by not just cleaning up the division, but defending it multiple times, like GGG or Bernard Hopkins.

Now they jump easily, unify the belts without much defending it against their mandatories.

And what you have pointed out, it's now a big business and these boxers are business man and specially if you are a champion, you wanted a fight that will give you $10M or higher per fight.

21 pounds to be exact, not 11. But as you have said, it will be at risk, not just for his belt on the line, but for his health as well. And because it hasn't been done before, we can only speculate that is it going to be very difficult for Crawford and his frame as it will not be used to have that drastic body change and then learn to carry it during a fight.

It might affect his speed and reflex or even his power. Of course his mind might be tune in, but his body might be different and respond different to the outside stimulus of being heavier in fight night.

I like unification fights because we love to see undisputed champions in every division. But I do not like champions that are keeping their belts hostage and depriving their mandatories of their well-deserved title shots. Unless of course, when the champion is making a unification fight which makes it an exemption.

This has something to do with money. Bud is right, him vs Canelo at 168 for the undisputed belts is the biggest fight right now. That I am very confident that it would reach an easy over a million PPV buys. I am not saying Bud is a money-first type of fighter because we've seen what he did and it is all about legacy unlike Tank Davis and Tyson Fury. I don't see Bud winning over Canelo at 168 but imagine if he wins. The first-ever 3-division undisputed in the 4-belt era. Jumping up 3 divisions north to win the undisputed title along with his 135 lineal championship would be lit of an accomplishment and he will be considered one of the best ever if not the best. Only Pacman became the 5 division lineal champion and Bud has the chance to tie it with a victory over Canelo at 168 and Charlo at 154.

A lot of factors should be considered first mainly if the boxer is not yet accustomed in that specific weight class and speaking about three weight classes apart, speed and power will be the main key but without any of these, his path towards making a history will definitely fail without a doubt. He might survive it but that doesn't mean that he will also bring a win on his side because he'll just be overwhelmed by the guys who are much more comfortable at that said weight class.

[Baofeng]

One thing that might go for Charlo here is that he doesn't have to drained himself to 154 lbs. And he is probably the bigger guy here, I mean he is taller that Canelo and could probably be walking more than 168 lbs in the off-season. Just like when we see him in the Spence vs Crawford fight, for me he is walking close to 180-190 lbs that night.

So no more weight draining him in this fight and he could be really be a fit at Middle to Super Middleweight division and very well be comfortable at this weight class that's why he didn't blink and look forward for this fight with Canelo signs a 3 fight deal with PBC.

Could be, but him and his coach are really that confident that Crawford can go up at that 168 lbs and challenge either Canelo or Charlo. And with that, since this hasn't been accomplished by, so we really don't know what will it bring though.

The closest that we can see if Manny Pacquiao. But then again, Manny is a freak of nature, going up in weight class that people can't believed he actually beat a bigger man in Antonio Margarito and fuck him up so bad that he quit and his eyes shattered.

I don't see it as an advantage he can be bigger but Canelo is good at going inside against big guys unless he can do the things like what Bivol did whenever Canelo tries to gets in Bivol have a counter move and counter punches, the key here for Charlo is his defense and how he counters.
Canelo was beaten by two of defense and counter punch specialist, I'm sure his team will work it out, Canelo is offense minded so Charlo need not slug it out, id he knows how to wait and do the rght timing in landing big punches then Canelo wil have a long night ahead.

We can say that Manny Pacquiao deserved some exemption when it comes to climbing some steep ladders as in your words, the man is a freak that no one could've believed that it can be pulled off. But he made it possible and we're not that sure if someone can imitate that because Manny Pacquiao is definitely the one and only.

Regarding about Crawford's plan, while Canelo and Charlo's fight is still upcoming, he should accept Spence's fight in the meantime but he should make sure that it will happen at 154 so that they will know if his strength, power and speed are still with him because if he's quite slower at 154 then he shouldn't be fighting anyone specially Canelo at 168.

We can't just fully underestimate Charlo here because just like what has been said, he got some advantage when it comes to the size and height, so maybe we can say that he might imitate what Bivol did and use that same advantage against Canelo so that he will have some struggles during the fight. He might be the king of 168 but every boxer has their own weakness and Canelo has been cracked already, that's why it's not that really hard to do mainly if Charlo is able to bring his speed and strength at 168.

It's interesting that in the undercard or co-main event, there will be Ugas vs Barrios for the WBC interim championship 147 lbs belt. Initially though it was supposedly Ugas vs Thurman, but unfortunately, Thurman again back out of the fight and so the man he beat will have the chance to get an interim belt.

And this is the first time that Ugas will fight after Spence f**k him up so bad more than a year ago to get the belt he won against Manny Pacquiao. And as per bookies, Ugas is 4:1 favorite here.

It's interesting that in the undercard or co-main event, there will be Ugas vs Barrios for the WBC interim championship 147 lbs belt. Initially though it was supposedly Ugas vs Thurman, but unfortunately, Thurman again back out of the fight and so the man he beat will have the chance to get an interim belt.

I think this fight might be good in the first couple of rounds, and then Ugas taking over with his boxing skills.
For me Barrios is just a overballoon 147 lbs, no offfense to him, but this is a very tough weight class and it's very hard to survived if you don't have the power.
So maybe in less than 10 rounds, Ugas might win with a KO or the corner of Barrios stopping the fight because of the damage that he is taking.
And it's just weird that he is getting this kind of opportunity though by WBC and fight for the interim belt.
But this 2 fighters are going to be just toyed by current champion in Crawford.

I'm not sure about Ugas after his loss to Spence; perhaps he has become more predictable. Therefore, this fight is going to be interesting. Both boxers are coming off losses, so they'll be training hard to get back on the winning track. The good thing with Ugas is that he defeated Pacman, but you never know – what if Barrios pulls off a surprise?

I personally believe that once a boxer loses in a championship fight, he is never the same boxer again.

If I'm not mistaken, Barrios came from a win mate, against a relatively unknown Jovanie Santiago. So he might be in the momentum here against Ugas. I wouldn't say that Ugas is predictable, he had success early on Spence and almost knock him down with Spence lost focus.

For Barrios, he had losses to Thurman, so I guess we can see that when he tries to step the competition, he somewhat looks very B level fighter as compare to Ugas who has fought and give better fights when he faces tough opponents.

The WBC is once again doing magic for money. Both do not deserve this WBC interim fight. Yordenis Ugas is a good fighter but after being badly beaten by Spence and more than a year of inactivity, there is no valid reason why he gets this shot right away. Mario Barrios does not even deserve a rank in the top 10. Aside from the WBC, I doubt the other 3 sanctioning bodies are ranking him in the top 10. Ugas is already old and inactive but he should be able to win by decision against the more undeserving opponent.

I wonder how much PBC is paying Sulaiman to keep the belt in their network once Terrence Crawford vacates his belts. Although it is only for the WBC interim belt, it will probably help the Canelo-Charlo PPV at least to the casuals.

[Kemarit]

This fight is getting nearer, and for sure everyone is ready and waiting for this fight.
Although Charlo is a 3:1 underdog in this fight, I still haven't put my bet yet as I will be waiting till the last minute as I wanted to see the last weigh-in.
Anyone has pull the trigger for this fight yet?
The Over/Under is 10.5 rounds, I'm still seeing that this fight might go to distance, and in the judges hand by the odds are not very attractive for the Over though.
