Canelo Alvarez (60-2-2) delivered a masterclass performance on a spectacular night in Las Vegas, living up to his promise to make a resounding statement. Facing off against Jermell Charlo (35-2-1) , Alvarez showcased his exceptional skills and dominance, ultimately securing a unanimous decision victory (119-108, 118-109, 118-109) to defend his undisputed super middleweight title.
From the opening bell, Alvarez dictated the tempo and positioning of the fight, leaving Charlo with little room to maneuver. The Mexican boxing sensation consistently forced Charlo against the ropes, where he unleashed a barrage of devastating power punches, with a notable emphasis on targeting the body—a strategy that Alvarez had meticulously crafted during his training camp.
The crowning moment of the bout came in the seventh round when Alvarez scored the sole knockdown of the fight. This pivotal moment further solidified his control over the match and left no doubt about his supremacy in the ring. Canelo Alvarez‘s performance against Charlo not only retained his undisputed super middleweight title but also underscored his status as one of the most formidable and skilled fighters in the world of boxing.

Speaker 2 (04:37):
Nowhere about it, you're not. I appreciate your time. Thank

thank you.

Speaker 6 (04:45):
Very much, plenty.

Speaker 2 (04:46):
I don't want hear none of that. Man.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
This is this to me, man, and I'm a boxing
head man, Charlo with all that bull man, this was
a payday, man, he didn't. This wasn't a fight where
he seriously attempted to try to do something with Charlo Canelo.
You could tell Canelo gave him a clinic. It was
more like an expensive sparring session that you've seen. We
Canelo dominated from round one to round twelve. He talking

(05:11):
about the guy didn't knock him out. I mean, you
stuck your head in his arm pit. I don't know
how many times in the damn fight is ridiculous. And
then of course what he does, he's gonna scurry right
back to where he can't come from. He had no
belts office. And I'm gonna be honest with you, I'm losing.
I lost some respect with him because all this tough
talking he's doing after the fight is over with. Where
the hell was that at during the damn fight? What

(05:34):
was your tough talking then looking like a scared puppy
running around there against Canelo. But when the fight is
over with, you got your payday, you're calling out Crawford,
and Crawford just gonna beat you like Canelo.

Speaker 2 (05:44):
Did you know?

Speaker 1 (05:46):
It's just it's just it's just I lost a lot
of respect on this one for this dude, because all
that tough talking to get the fight, and then you
shrink in face of the competition.

Speaker 2 (05:56):
It wasn't even a respectable loss. He knocked you out,
he knocked you down.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
He wasn't And I think the reason why because if
Conelo really wanted to put Charlo down, he could have
did it. He could have flattened him if he wanted to,
He could have got him out of that. He pulled
off the brake Canelo. I've seen a lot of Canelo fights,
and if Connelo wanted you out of there, he would
have got you out of there. That's the only reason
why that could He didn't get knocked out by Canelo

(06:21):
overass because Conelo didn't press it.

Speaker 2 (06:24):
He didn't press for the knockout.

Speaker 1 (06:26):
So at the end of the day, man, all my
family members out there to spend eighty dollars or how
much they wanted, or how much did it costs to
put money in his pockets the night, man I would
tell y'all to get a damn and request a damn
refund if you can, Man, this wasn't worth no eighty
dollars or how much heavey, whatever the hell it was.
It wasn't worth it to watch Charlo spar with Canelo Elveraz,

(06:48):
and Canelo Elverz just beat the shit out of him
all through the fight.

Speaker 2 (06:51):
Run him around.

Speaker 1 (06:51):
He's scared, don't want to let his hands go, We're
scared of counter punching.

Speaker 2 (06:56):
It was.

Speaker 1 (06:56):
It was a disrespectful loss for Carlo, who I liked
the Charlo boys a lot, but it just they're just
a bunch of noise right now.

Speaker 2 (07:05):
For me, Man, it was noisy.

Speaker 1 (07:07):
They didn't try to he didn't try to go in
there and make it competitive. It wasn't a competitive fight.
It was a clinic for Canelo all night and all
this tough talk at the end of the fight and
before the fight, none of that shit was nowhere during
the fight. He didn't do none of that against Canelo.
He was scared in a ring against Canelo Elvarez. He
was scared to change with Canelo Elvarez in the ring

(07:29):
even when the rounds counted. He was scared and scurried
in the face of Canelo with all that tough talk
at the end, a cussing and challenging Crawford who would
just beat him the same way. So in the end, man,
let me get on up out of here. Man, this
was disresistant, disrespectful loss. In my book, I don't like
what I've seen. If you spent eight to nine there,
I don't know how much it was, but please get

(07:51):
your try to request to get your money back, because
this was some BS man tonight. This was this type
of stuff. I hate for the game of boxing. I
really do hate for the game box because people spend
their hard earn money for this type of fight. It's
not worth the family. This was awful, awful fight. Canello
just beat this guy from start to finish. Wasn't even competitive.
You wasn't even in that being aggressive. His philosophy was gone.

(08:14):
But she just took the bag and ran back, discovered
the way back to the division which he came from.
Now you're gonna go back down two weight classes talking
about Yeah, you're gonna fight from right there.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
So I mean, it's just it's just sad man.

Speaker 1 (08:25):
Unfortunately man, for the family members, they spend their hard
earned money like this.

Speaker 2 (08:30):
It's not cool.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
But anyway, with that being said, I'm big hu maan,
I'm gonna get out on that listen, y'all have a
fantastic rest of y'all day, man, y'all night, y'all have
a good night the rest of y'all weekend. Man, we'll
be back on the coma tomorrow. We'll be doing a
live play by play for the Saints and who the
hell we play tomorrow, the Saints in They the Bucks
will be on that doing that. So if you want
to join us man on that pop on the sports

(08:52):
Comba platform. Man, y'all hit the light button, subscribe button. Yeah,
this was distasteful, man, And I like the charlos if
this is all that tough talk showing me that you
know that he was a bag of a on this one. Man,
you don't challenge the man unless you're ready to fight
the man.

Speaker 2 (09:07):
Kick you know. It's just it was awful, man. Maha.

Speaker 1 (09:10):
Let you all on the flip side. Man, Yeah, Derek says, yeah, yeah,
it was money grab. Yeah, this was awful.

Speaker 2 (09:16):
Man.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
You don't do that to the people. Man, You don't
do that to the people that hard earn money. You
go out there and you give it an edge. That
dude didn't go out there and give it no edge.
He ain't give it this one hundred percent. He was
in take the bag and run mode. Then when the
fight was over with he you know, he scurries back
two classes, back down to talk about challenging whoever he's
supposed to challenge, and it's just it's just terrible. If

(09:39):
you're gonna take the bag, at least give the people
a good show. He ain't do that, didn't want to talk,
and then what really is spitting and slapping the people's
faces when he wants the tough talk, tough talk to
you and to people at the end of the fight,
when he was a scared puppy in the ring all night.
So it's just sad, man, We're gonna we just we
just do. It's just what it is, man, And so shit,

(10:00):
I ain't paid for it. But anyway, listen my college,
hold the flip side, must love to the family and
I'm out. Yah,
