“He Is a Loud Mouth”: Mike Tyson’s Former Trainer Accusing Canelo Alvarez of Bribing Judges Draws Scathing Response From Fans

The one-of-a-kind Jermell Charlo–Canelo Álvarez bout had fans glued ever since it was announced. Charlo had climbed two weight divisions to face Canelo Alvarez, who initially was to lock horns with the older twin, Jermall Charlo. Results favoured Canelo who dominated Charlo in the brawl like it was a piece of cake and won by a unanimous decision. However, some still have their doubts.

Mike Tyson’s former coach and boxing commentator, Teddy Atlas had accused the Mexican beast of seeking ‘help’ from his ‘friends’ who guaranteed his win. Joe Habeeb has reacted in defence of Canelo, calling Atlas an ‘attention w**re’ and discrediting his claims. What do the fans have to say?

Fans draw some interesting conclusions

Atlas upset the Mexican fans by predicting Canelo would bribe the judges to direct the match and emerge victorious in his fight against Charlo. This did not sit well with Habeeb who responded on X calling out the ex-trainer for trying to hoard attention through nonsensical claims. The fans have mixed reactions to this.

One fan called Atlas a joke who starts comparing every average UFC fight to the great Hagler-Hearn 3-round boxing bout.

Another fan came to Atlas’ defence, bringing to focus his earlier predictions which mostly hold true while simultaneously calling him a ‘loud mouth’.

One fan was upset with the clearly biased commentary in Canelo’s favor.

“I rather believe that Canelo bribed Charlo rather the judges” Another commented on Charlo’s subpar performance in the fight and mockingly asked if Canelo had bribed Charlo.

While agreeing with Habeeb on Atlas being a showboat, a fan also raised a few suspicions on the amicable relationship Canelo enjoyed with the judges in his past fights.
