Predictions for Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo
The talented and exciting Jermell Charlo has the pace to trouble Canelo Alvarez and make it an uncomfortable night for the Mexican, certainly within the first few rounds.
However, while Canelo is certainly not big for the weight, we ultimately expect a two-division jump to be too much as he eventually breaks down due to the Mexican's relentless chasing and energy-sapping punches.
