Jermell Charlo Is Certain To “Capitalize” On Canelo Alvarez’s Mistakes While Agreeing To Learn From Mexican’s Two Losses

This year has been an incredibly productive year for boxing so far. Boxing fans have gotten to see several big fights so far. What’s more, another one is already on the way. Jermell Charlo and Canelo Alvarez are set to face each other on September 30. Though the venue is yet to be decided, however, it’s most certainly going to take place in Las Vegas. This is going to be Alvarez’s second fight this year after the previous John Ryder bout and will undoubtedly provide entertainment to fans.

This fight has the potential to be even better than the bout between Terence Crawford and Errol Spence Jr.. After all, it’s a title fight between two undisputed champions. As the hype for the bout intensifies, Charlo reveals his plans for the upcoming bout.

Jermell Charlo claims Canelo Alvarez needs to figure him out as well

Canelo Alvarez has only had 2 losses throughout his career. One was back in 2013 at the hand of Floyd Mayweather Jr. and the other last year against Dimitry Bivol. Though he lost both of the fights to the judge’s decision, these fights can help his opponents figure out his possible weakness. So recently in an interview with FightHype.com, Charlo was asked if he plans on using the lessons from ‘Cinnamon’s’ losses for his upcoming bout.

Charlo replied, “Of course, everybody gon go watch their fight and look at what they got going on and see what he did and the mistakes he made and try to capitalize…”.

He also added that Canelo has grown from the fights and might have made some changes in his style that need to be accounted for. However, he also reminded that Alvarez needs to figure him out as well.

Floyd Mayweather on Alvarez slowing down

Alvarez hasn’t had any knockouts in a while now, thus fans are starting to question his place as one of the best in the sport. His being unable to knock out both John Ryder and GGG caused a lot of fans to claim that he is slowing down. Mayweather, the first man to defeat the Mexican icon, recently gave his two cents on the claims.

He stated that he was 36 years old when he faced Canelo, and the latter already had a record of 43 fights by that time. He gave a reminder about how Canelo attributed his loss to having less experience.

Mayweather stated, “Everyone is now saying that he [Canelo] isn’t the same fighter, he is not looking same. Now remember this, I was older than Canelo is when I beat Canelo. Imagine seeing Canelo at 36 and me at 36 and we fight.”

Mayweather further added, “When I was 23 and if I had 47 fights, I would have been a monster.” Mayweather retired with a record of 50-0. Meanwhile, Alvarez already has had more than 60 fights, and he is 33 years old.

It remains to be seen how many spectacular bouts Alvarez has got left in him. Nonetheless, his upcoming bout against Charlo is certainly something to be looking forward to.
