Transcribed
Foreign [ Music ] fans around the world, thanks for joining me here on talk and fight for another episode of boxing news today.
As we all know, we’ve got a big Clash coming up with uh Jamel tarlo and his good buddy Canelo Alvarez they’re gon na go toe-to-toe in Las Vegas and uh.
The pundits are quite divided on who’s got the better chance here, but it’s a good one, because uh both Fighters have a lot to lose.
Quite frankly, uh Charlie was pride and uh Canelo may be his career.
So let’s have a quick look and see what the uh that know what else have to say all right, let’s start off with what Teddy Atlas has to say.
First of all, as we all know, as we all know, uh Alvarez is widely regarded as one of the best fighters of this generation without a doubt he’s one of his fair share of fights.
Um he’s also, you know four weight world champion Undisputed and super middleweight ranks and he’s returning in the weekend to defend against four belt super welterweight, champ, uh, Jim all Trail, okay, so Teddy Atlas had this to say: Canelo has always been overrated.
Now that doesn’t mean he’s not a real good fighter, but he is not the greatest Mexican fighter of all time.
He is not the greatest Mexican fighter he’s overrated.
He probably lost to Earth’s Landing Lara.
He lost twice a Triple G.
I know it’s old news.
It’S old history: he lost the first two against Golovkin, especially the first one he lost to Mayweather every round, except for with that judge who should be in jail um, you know, keep in mind.
Uh Alison previously said that he’s not even the top 10 of greatest Mexican fighters of all time.
Atlas has followed that opinion up with some others in the similar band in recent times.
Even his prediction for this fight with Charlo, even though he’s back in the Mexican to win, be a split decision even if he needs help from his friends in the industry about the criticism.
Canelo claimed a trainer turned analyst crazy.
Okay, woo he’s crazy that crazy and you think he knows boxing all right anyway.
His record is 59 2-2 and he says he is promised to silence any critics.
He believes on the slide following will lost it.
Dimitri Bibble and two decision wins over Triple G and John Ryder, So speaking on this matter, he said he wasn’t fully fighting fit uh for the best due to hand surgery and that the Charlo main event will be on a different level altogether.
All right, let’s have a quick look here and see what our Lads over at ESPN has to say: um, because courtesy uh, let’s see who wrote this one up here, uh Damien, Delgado amaroff had this to say on ESPN Jermel Charlo will not be the first or The last box in modern boxing history to move up two division to confront an established Champion most recently.
There are two stars who did the same: Manny Pacquiao and Guillermo robondo uh the two fight against Great opponents with different outcomes: Pacquiao forced Oscar de la Hoy to quit.
Before the ninth round, uh rigondo lost a one-sided bout against lomachenko when rigondo quit in this corner.
After the sixth round, Charlo keep in mind he’s 35 1-1 19 Knockouts a rise for the Superman fight against Canelo Alvarez at the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas.
As the junior middleweight Undisputed champ, he took the place of his twin brother, jarmal um, who initially was going to move up from middleweight to phase I’ll res but withdrew as he continued to deal with some personal issues.
I said Charlo uh now uh.
Now is the right time for this fight, we’re in our primes, not our best.
I want to shake the doubters off I will prove to the world while I’m in this position there’s a reason I made it this far.
I’M going to show what I’m made of everything I’ve done since I’m eight years old, I’m putting it all on the line.
Now, foreign, as of Tuesday Alvarez uh, was at 420 wow a favorite according to Caesar’s sports book, still there’s a history of Fighters who managed to beat the odds and beat higher division Champions.
Alvarez himself is the closest reference of a boxer going up two divisions and winning he did it against Sergey kovalev in November 2019, Alvarez who six months before had beaten General Daniel Jacobs to unify three middleweight bet.
World titles jumped 160, oh from 160 pounds to 175.
To snatch the WBO light heavyweight title from kovalev Pacquiao did something similar in December 2008, with his debut in the welterweight division against De La Hoya.
Although the fight was a catch, weight of 145.
Pacquiao’s previous height had been a lightweight one 35 pounds when he knocked out David Diaz to win the WBC belt.
Let’S have a quick look and see what other fellows have to say about this uh.
Oh, this is a good one.
I found titled investigating a long history of Canelo Alvarez, getting favoritism from Las Vegas judges, and this is courtesy of Andreas Hale.
Writing for the sporting news.
He goes.
The idea of Jermel Charlo moving up two weight classes to challenge Canal Alvarez for the Undisputed super middleweight Championship is already considered a good country task for the Undisputed champion at 154.
To overcome, however, the act of beating Canelo on the scorecards in Las Vegas is perhaps an even bigger mountain to climb, as history tells us convincing.
The judges that you won more rounds in Canelo in a boxing match is almost impossible.
People have said that Jamel Trello must not canel out in order to leave Las Vegas with the Undisputed super middleweight Championship.
Is that true, considering how Las Vegas has found ways to give Canelo rounds and fights that it doesn’t feel like he deserves? Charlo has to do everything in his power to keep the fight from going to the scorecards canelo’s history.
A favorable scorecard starts in 2013, with his unanimous decision victory over Austin Trout, the first major boxing event that Canelo headlined, although it was in Vegas, the seed was planted that there always be at least one scorecard that heavily skewed toward Canelo it most observer’s eyes.
Canelo bested trout by roughly two to three rounds.
However, an obscene 18 to 1 118 to 109 scorecard raised more than a few eyebrows.
Although the right man won, the score was cause for alarm that carried over into Canelo Showdown with Floyd Mayweather in Las Vegas.
On that particular card, Canelo was the biggest biggest stage.
You’Ve ever been on and he’s greatly grossly outclassed by Mayweather in a fight that wasn’t even close.
According to compy box Mayweather outlanded Canelo 232-179 connected on 46 of his punches to Canal’s 22.
Most ringside observers struggled to find three rounds to give Canelo yet judge C J Ross managed to score the fight even at 114 114.
.
This scorecard was so egregious that she stepped down from judging after drawing significant criticism for her card.
Interestingly enough that terrible scorecard overshadowed and also inept, 160 and 112 scorecard by judge Dave Moretti out of 86 media scorecards, nobody had it closer than 116 113 with an average score of 119 109 in favor of Mayweather.
This trend of favorable scorecards for Canelo was only getting started, Canelo versus uh Lara, as I mentioned earlier.
Less than a year later, can I was back in action against ursul Andy Lara.
Following a stoppage of Alfredo aguinyo, The Crafty Cuban gave Canelo all he could handle and nip and Tuck Affair, which saw Canelo, wouldn’t split decision that could have gone either way.
One judge had it: 151-13 Canelo wow saw while another sought favor of Laura by the same margin, but the final score for Canelo was an impossibly wide tally of 117-111, and this was the third consecutive decision for Canelo that had at least one questionable scorecard for the Mexican star, then we went to that famous fight Miguel Cotto versus Canelo, as in 2015, held at the Mandalay Bay Event Center in Las Vegas.
Following was brutal third round knockout of James Kirkland and Texas canel returned to Vegas to face Miguel Cotto in what appeared to be a closely contested fight.
The canel deserved to Edge out the judges would have you think that was only one-sided Affair.
Posting scores of 119, 109, 118, 110 and 117 111.
.
The right man won but few had that much of disparity between the two fighters: wow canel Alvarez’s, Triple G, one uh.
How did uh T-mobile Arena? Uh 2017.
canel knocked out Amir Khan and Liam Smith in his next device, before dominating and uh of absolutely listless, who sees our Chavez Jr for one of the few Vegas scorecards without controversy and then stepped into the ring 2017 against Gennady Golovkin for highly anticipated middleweight Championship Showdown and it happened yet again – a fight that many onlookers scored for Golovkin ended in a split draw.
They kept Canal from adding another loss to his career.
According to MMA decisions out of 26 media, scorecards 22 scored it for Golovkin with most having 160 112, and the only three observers ended up with a draw.
Only one scorecard had it for Canelo with a 115-113 score.
As for the actual judges, that’s a different story.
One judge had at 115 113 for Golovkin well another how to draw that third judge Adelaide bird someone scored the fight 118 to 110 for Canelo, giving Triple G only two rounds out of a possible 12.
wow.
Oh man, the rematch, took place a year later on.
The media scores were a lot closer than the previous fight, with 10 ruling in favor, Triple G, seven, seeing as a draw, and only one judge scoring for Canelo.
The actual scorecards had a majority decision for Canelo, with two judges scoring 115 113 for Canelo and the third having as a draw Golovkin insists.
He was robbed not once twice and it didn’t stop there.
Hey, listen I’ll, put this link down in the uh description below.
Let’S move along um over on the boxnews24.
com, my good friend Brian Weber, writes Jamel Charlo, says he’s definitely going to be returning to 154 for a possible fight against Terence Crawford after he first deals with Canelo Alvarez on Saturday, uh Jamel wants to scoop up Canal’s four Bells to become a member super middleweight, but he says he isn’t staying 168.
That makes a lot of sense because, if Drew Mel stays, he’ll need to defend against Dave, Morell Jr and David benavidez, and that’s obviously a bridge too far for Charlo he’s not crazy.
The game plan that Jermel leaked on Wednesday, involving uh using movement to defeat Canelo, would be totally ineffective against benavidez and morale.
So Jamel is going to catch and release with the four 168 pound titles and then head to Safe Waters at 154 for Luca to fight with Crawford and likely the winner of the Tim tayu uh Brian Mendoza fight.
Let’S move along to Shakir Stevenson, the never-ending Saga of poor old Turkish Stevenson – 20-0 10 Knockouts.

One race weekend is a huge week for Las Vegas, a tremendous platform for Chris Stevenson like once again uh.
Why is well on his way to reigning as the sports pound for pound Kings at Aram, many fighters turned down the opportunity, but Edwin dos Santos eagerly accepted and navrati and uh konsheko fighting for soprani at 130 as a spectacular card.
That’S loaded from top to bottom.
