While Warning Jermell Charlo, CEO of Floyd Mayweather’s Promotions Reveals Only Way He Could Beat Canelo Alvarez

On September 30, Canelo Alvarez is determined to prove to the world that he is still in his prime, while Jermell Charlo is looking forward to show his might in a division other than the super Welterweight. Both fighters are the undisputed champions of their division. This time, Alvarez is going to defend his undisputed crown for the third time. Despite all the criticism after the John Ryder fight, many fanatics still believe Alvarez is going to achieve victory and consider Charlo as the underdog.

Even though the Mexican boxer is a veteran in the game, Charlo holds the knockout advantage with his unseen right-hand punch. In addition, Charlo holds the four-inch height advantage and a two-and-a-half-inch reach advantage against Alvarez. Still, the boxing pundits believe the chances of winning are quite meek for the Lafayette-born. In his aide came Floyd Mayweather‘s Mayweather Promotions CEO, who provided him with some crucial tips to face ‘Cinnamon’.

Leonard Ellerbe knows Canelo a little too well

Amongst all the predictions swirling around the much-anticipated bout between Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo, even the Mayweather Promotions CEO, Leonard Ellerbe, pitched in with his thought process. Ellerbe talked about how Alvarez would prove to be a challenge for Charlo and also sent him a crucial warning.

He said, “Canelo’s not getting rattled with anything that you say because he can fight his a** off.” Moreover, he also gave the underdog some tips regarding the bout, he said, “I think he has to establish that coming out early that he’s the boss, you know. Canelo, he’s a resilient fighter, excellent defensive fighter, and one of the things that I’ve been really impressed with and I’ve had just the opportunity to say that Canelo has a lot of tricks in the bag.”

Well, there was a time when Ellerbe was in Canelo’s opposing team. But it didn’t take him seconds to take his side against ‘Iron Man’. Similarly, another opponent of Canelo Alvarez sent a stark warning to the undisputed super Welterweight champion.

Canelo’s former opponent makes his prediction

Austin Trout was put down by Canelo Alvarez back in 2013 by the scorecards. Trout lost the chance of becoming the unified champion in the super Welterweight division. In an interview with FightHype, Trout was asked about Charlo’s fate against Alvarez. He did not hold back from giving out his honest opinion.

He said, “I’m going with Canelo. Even if Charlo puts up a great fight and edges it out, you think he’s going to get a decision?” Trout believes Charlo wouldn’t be able to knock out Alvarez and there’s no way he can pierce the defensive prowess of the Mexican boxer. So, he even claimed to put all his money on his former opponent without even giving it much thought.
