The day has arrived for the “Undisputed” showdown between Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo. A lot is at stake for everyone involved (including the network, Showtime) and we discuss why Canelo holds an edge headed into Saturday night.
The first reason rests on the counterpunching and scoring advantage Canelo has enjoyed in his Las Vegas fights. Beyond just being a superstar, the judges are drawn to Canelo’s offense due to his heavy-handed shots puncuated by the full body torque he puts into blows. In close rounds, the flashier and heavier puncher is historically known to sway judges.
Watch below for the remaining points and let us know if you agree. The Canelo vs. Charlo pay-per-view begins at 8 p.m./5 p.m. PT.
