Canelo Alvarez will fight Jermell Charlo on September 30. As the 168-pound champion, Canelo aims to maintain his undisputed status. This fight marks Canelo’s debut with Premier Boxing Champions (PBC). He recently inked a three-fight deal with PBC, guaranteeing him $100 million for this fight. Thus, this fight is immensely crucial for ‘Cinnamon’ as he gets to sustain his ‘undisputed’ legacy.

Furthermore, there were rampant speculations about Alvarez’s form being off in his previous fights. Moreover, Canelo himself admitted that he couldn’t train to total capacity. However, he is training with extreme vigor for his forthcoming test against Charlo. He has even confessed that he feels much more confident in his abilities. Resonating with the same emotions of confidence as Canelo, we have his teammate Oscar Valdez. Oscar has even blurted out the match’s fate, eking to his faith in Alvarez. So, what did he say?

Oscar Valdez predicts that Canelo Alvarez will knock out Jermell Charlo within ten rounds in their upcoming fight in 12 days. Despite showing weaknesses in recent fights, Canelo needs top-notch cardio to handle Jermell’s pressure and fast pace. Valdez notes that Jermell, with a record of 35-1-1 and 19 KOs, has an aggressive style.

Furthermore, he believes Canelo will use this to his advantage, countering with his own power. Canelo’s last knockout was against Caleb Plant in 2021, which was some time ago. Showing his support, he said, “I say a KO under 10. Because of styles, they’re both going forward. Charlo’s not running, and now I know Canelo could take a shot. I’ve seen it, you know? We all saw when he got hit with that big shot. Good life, can you literally say ‘no’? And he said it, you know? You said it could lock it. Hey, but Canelo is just a strong-built fighter. I don’t see Charlo just giving up. I’m feeling he’s totally not giving up, not giving in. Being a stronger fighter, maybe a TKO sounds more reasonable, so it’s more believable to me.”
