In the electrifying world of boxing, we crave the ultimate showdown—the best squaring
off against the best.
Why, you ask.
Well, because we all love a good fight.
There's something exhilarating about witnessing a clash of titans, where skill, strategy,
and pure guts collide in a symphony of sweat and determination.
When the best fight the best, it's like witnessing a cosmic collision of greatness.
It's a chance to witness human potential unleashed, as these warriors
push themselves beyond their limits, defying the odds and surpassing expectations.
It's like watching two superheroes duking it out, except without the capes
and spandex of course.
And let's face it, there's a certain thrill in seeing our favorite fighters face the toughest
challenges.
We want to see if they can walk the talk, if they truly
have what it takes to reign supreme.
So my friends let's embrace our love for the best fighting the best, let's revel in the
jaw-dropping displays of skill, the heart-stopping knockouts and the glorious
moments that remind us why we fell in love with this sport in the first place.
Because when the best collide, we get a taste of boxing at its finest, unpredictable, awe-inspiring
and damn entertaining.
And who doesn't want a ringside seat for that?
Because now, in the hallowed halls of boxing, a battle of seismic proportions looms on the
horizon.
Canelo Alvarez, the pride of Mexico, and Jermell Charlo,
the hungry challenger seeking his place among the elite, stand poised to clash in a contest
that epitomizes the essence of everything you want to see from the sport of boxing.
For Canelo, this is more than a fight—it is an opportunity to cement his status as
an icon, a symbol of Mexican boxing's undying heritage.
In the opposite corner stands Jermell Charlo, a relentless force surging forth from the
shadows, his hunger for recognition propelling him to challenge the very best.
Charlo's hunger is palpable, a roaring fire burning within him, driving him to transcend
his limitations and prove to the world that he is a force to be reckoned with.
This clash of titans signifies a rebirth, a resurgence of the best fighting the best—a
renaissance that stirs the souls of boxing enthusiasts worldwide.
It is a testament to the unwavering dedication of fighters who refuse to settle for anything
less than the pinnacle of their craft.
The revival of boxing has arrived, and with it, a fervor and excitement
that permeates the very air we breathe.
So, let us come together, united in our awe and appreciation for this battle that epitomizes
the essence of boxing—a contest that transcends nationalities,
backgrounds, and aspirations.
It is a celebration of the human spirit, the embodiment of resilience, and the relentless
pursuit of glory.
Brace yourselves, for the stage is set, the warriors are prepared,
and the world awaits with bated breath as Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo collide
in a contest that will etch itself into legend.
I think you'll all agree this fight caught a lot of us off guard.
We all expected the big fight against Charlo when Canelo signed with PBC.
What we didn't expect is that it would be against the other Charlo, Jermell
Charlo, the twin brother of Jermall Charlo, the one who holds four world titles, the one
who's without a doubt continiously impressed in every one of his bouts.
This was a surprise to all of us, a welcome surprise of course, as Jermell Charlo will
definitely prove to be a difficult task for Canelo Alvarez come September 30th.
It will in fact be undisputed versus undisputed, a rare special occasion in boxing where two
reigning king pins of different weight divisions meet to square off and battle
for multi-divisional undisputed recognition.
Charlo will be the one of course moving up in weight to face Canelo, so this
is an advantage in Canelo's favour, but while moving up in weight divisions in Boxing is
a serious task indeed, it is not an impossible one, as many great boxers
before have climbed weight divisions solidifying their status as generational greats.
This is a dare-to-be-great moment for Charlo.
Weight divisions exist for a reason in boxing.
There are no height divisions, skill divisions, strength divisions or reach divisions, weight
is the only measure of fairness enforced in the sport, so when a
boxer decides to fight against the tide, break this measure of fairness and make an attempt
to fight heavier men, you can expect a new sort of dynamic involved with
the fight.
The last time a boxer moved up in such weight to fight Canelo Alvarez was Amir Khan.
[CROWD CHEERING] Hard right hand by Khan!
As it would suggest, speed favours the lighter man, with fast combinations, movement and
reflexes, but in a 12-round fight, the heavier man only needs that one solid blow to show
why yes, weight divisions exist for a reason, and this
is why.
[CROWD CHEERING] Tremendous right hand shot by Canelo!
However of course Jermell Charlo is a whole different animal.
Canelo is no stranger to taking the risk of moving up in weight himself, moving from 160
pounds to 175 pounds, two weight divisions within one fight to face Sergey Kovalev.
Canelo would knock Kovalev out, but in another attempt of fighting out of his division, he
struggled against Dmitry Bivol.
These moves have to be respected and admired by
fans, they are tremendous examples of courage and bravery.
And of course, we should not care if a boxer loses a fight, in boxing we want to see the
best fight the best, we cannot judge a boxer too harshly when they
lose, because it's part of sport.
You're not going to stop watching your favourite football team because they lost one saturday
night, so why should we care if a boxer loses in
a thrilling fight.
Boxing has been graced with some fantastic fights these last few years, so let's get
behind the boxers, support them in victory and defeat,
because at the end of the day we want to see our sport at it's apex, where the great fighters
of our generation compete proudly and bravely in spectacular events.
Both boxers will be 33 years of age come fight night, in their absolute physical prime, strong
as they ever will be and fast as they ever will be.
Canelo has had an impressive previous two years, taking on Billy Joe Saunders at the
AT&T Stadium in Arlington Texas, forcing an end to the contest
after several crushing blows to break his opponent's eye socket.
This is a bad moment for him in this fight... he predicted a KO in round 8 or 9!
After this he took on Caleb Plant, a high-calibre boxer with nifty skills, the bout was great
to watch before Canelo eventually landed clean with a powerful left hook which marked
the beginning of the end of the fight.
Oh big left hook, Plant might've gotten hurt, right uppercut down goes Plant for the first
time in the fight.
Canelo Alvarez, Caleb Plant down, and Canelo looking for the finish, big left
hook, Plant might be out on his feet, Canelo looking for the finish, Canelo looking to
finish off Caleb Plant, and down goes Plant and
this one is over!
A loss to the heavier Bivol followed, which I'm sure he'll learn from, and then he took
to Golovkin and John Ryder, both fights of which he won
decisively.
Charlo in the last few years has had two competitive bouts with Brian Carlos Castano, ending the
saga with an emphatic knockout victory.
Left hook that dropped Brian Castano!
Charlo has Castano hurt in the tenth!
Before this he defeated Jeison Rosario with perhaps one of the most technically pure body
shot knockouts I've ever seen.
And oh my, down goes Rosario with a jab to the body.
Anyone with respectable boxing knowledge will tell you that this is a seriously impressive
shot.
A prime example of a well-schooled boxer, jab to the head, stabbing jab to the body.
Charlo has quite a few knockout victories on his resume so expect him to be bringing
a respectable punch to the ring.
Both fighters have good defence and very good ring IQ.
It may be a battle of hard blows sure, but don't be surprised to see a battle of ring
intelligence and strategy.
Canelo will be the bigger man but don't expect it to be too drastic.
Sure Charlo is 154 and Canelo is 168, but Charlo is a big 154 and Canelo a small 168,
so it's possible the size difference doesn't even
play too big of a part in the fight.
Boxing can be funny sometimes, you expect things to go a certain way and they end up
going a totally different way, when you're talking about two undisputed elite fighters
really anything can happen, which is what makes this fight so intriguing.
This marks a first fight of a three-fight deal with PBC for Canelo.
Much speculation has been made about who he might fight for these three fights, names
like Errol Spence and David Benavidez have been
thrown around, but let's not get ahead of ourselves just yet as the fight we have in
front of us is a mouth-watering matchup with real risk.
I think the styles of both these boxers will make for a very entertaining fight, neither
fighter exactly likes taking a step back in the
ring, so expect fireworks if the right circumstances arise.
Both these boxers are professionals, well schooled, strong and fit.
It's an excellent fight and one you definitely have to watch.
Many are giving Canelo the nod to impress in this fight, but Charlo poses a very serious
risk to the Mexican superstar, which all fans are certainly noticing.
