Canelo vs Charlo HIGHLIGHTS: September 30, 2023 | PBC on Showtime PPV
Undisputed super middleweight champion Canelo Álvarez successfully defended his world titles by dropping Jermell Charlo on his way to a dominant unanimous decision (119-109, 118-109 twice) in the SHOWTIME PPV main event Saturday night from T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas. Canelo Promotions presented the Premier Boxing Champions pay-per-view. “I’m a strong fighter all the time, against all the fighters,” said Canelo. “I’m a strong man. Nobody can beat this Canelo.” Canelo (60-2-2, 39 KOs) was dominant from start to finish, using the masterful ring IQ and sublime power that’s made him a future Hall of Famer to flummox the junior middleweight king Charlo (35-2-1, 19 KOs). Moving up two weight classes in an attempt to reign in two divisions, Charlo was able to occasionally land flush but was met with a wall of resistance from Canelo. “I just felt like I wasn’t me in there,” said Charlo. “I don’t make excuses for myself, so it is what it is. I take my punches and roll with it. It’s boxing. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.” Charlo’s defense first showed cracks in the early rounds when Canelo’s signature power hooks to the body had a clear effect on him and forced him to focus largely on defense in the first half of the fight. In round seven, Canelo broke through with a looping overhand right that stunned Charlo and forced him to take a knee. “Truthfully, I could feel the difference in the weight,” said Charlo. “I picked up 14 pounds. I am undisputed in my weight division. You fall short sometimes, but you just have to keep on pushing. My roll don’t stop right here. I’m proud of myself. He hit me with some hard shots. I thought I got mine off. I’m the little Charlo and I represent that.” The rest of the seventh round saw Charlo fight intelligently, and even land some of his cleanest shots to make it to the bell. Charlo initially showed more urgency but was unable to deter the surgical precision of Canelo’s offense and defense. Canelo dominated the CompuBox stats as well as the scorecards, owning a 134 to 71 advantage in total punches landed, including an impressive 42 body shots. “We worked on attacking the body,” said Canelo. “We know he’s a great fighter. He knows how to move in the ring. We worked on attacking the body for three months. For three months in the mountains without my family, without everything.” The championship rounds saw more of the same as Canelo cruised to the final bell while being serenaded with chants from his thousands of loyal fans in attendance. After thanking his legions of supporters, Canelo declared himself open to facing anyone next . “I still love boxing,” said Canelo. “I love boxing so much. Boxing is my life. Boxing made me the person I am today. That’s why I love boxing so much. And I love boxing so much because of my fans, too…Cinco de Mayo I’ll face whoever. I don’t care.” #CaneloCharlo #Canelo #Highlights Visit PremierBoxingChampions.com for more info.

Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo Full Fight Highlights | Canelo wins via unanimous decision?
Click WATCH NOW on www.luxurytainment.com Does Canelo win via unanimous decision predicts SCHAUB ZAC Luxurytainment? For the first time in boxing's four-belt era, two undisputed male champions are set to face off. Undisputed junior middleweight champion #jermellcharlo will jump up two weight classes to challenge undisputed super middleweight champion #caneloalvarez in a Showtime pay-per-view on Saturday night. Alvarez has been one of the biggest stars in boxing for nearly his entire career, moving between weight classes and collecting world championships while staying more active than most of his contemporaries. Some have become concerned over recent fights that Alvarez is on the back side of his career as he has been less impressive than normal. Charlo has not been nearly as active as Alvarez but has proven himself as a great fighter and collected all four world championships at junior middleweight by beating Brian Castano in his most recent outing. It's an intriguing bout featuring two of the best fighters in the world and it is set to go down on Saturday in Las Vegas With so much happening on Saturday night, let's take a closer look at the full fight card with the latest odds before we get to our staff predictions and picks for the PPV portion of the festivities. Alvarez vs. Charlo picks, predictions MAIN EVENT PICK Brian Campbell Charlo via majority decision Brent Brookhouse Alvarez via unanimous decision Shakiel Mahjouri Alvarez via TKO9 Michael Mormile Alvarez via TKO11 Brandon Wise Charlo via split decision Campbell: For as much as the size difference between them has been a major narrative with Charlo moving up two divisions, Alvarez was once considered a small middleweight. Charlo is taller, longer and faster. He also has the right mindset needed to take big chances and rely on a combination of aggression and movement to keep Alvarez guessing. Is the great Canelo past his prime at age 33? Not officially. But Charlo represents the type of challenge Alvarez simply hasn't faced in a long time. Charlo also has shown a penchant for rising to the occasion when the lights are brightest, particularly when the pressure is on and he's being counted out. This could be a perfect storm to create a close fight and one that Charlo can win if he lives behind his jab and showcases a sturdy enough chin to take Alvarez deep. Brookhouse: There are a lot of unknowns here. Is Alvarez in full decline at age 33 or were recent performances a result of injuries? Why couldn't Alvarez stop John Ryder or a faded version of Golovkin? Has Charlo been active enough to be ready to jump up in both weight and level of competition? Personally, I believe Alvarez that he was unable to really work as he wanted in recent camps because of a hand injury that has now been corrected. That would explain the lack of power, the lack of timing and the lack or stopping power. Charlo is a very good fighter, but he's also a fighter who went through hell against the likes of Brian Castano and Tony Harrison. Alvarez is a different level from those fighters and he's comfortable at 168. I think Charlo is tricky enough to make it to the cards and good enough to keep from being blown out but not good enough to get the win. Mahjouri: Alvarez has not showcased his finishing instincts lately and Charlo has never been stopped. On the surface, that does not bode well for my prediction. But Alvarez will step into the ring for the second time since surgically repairing his left wrist against an opponent moving up two weight classes. Alvarez knocked down John Ryder and broke his nose in his last outing. Ryder certainly is not cut from the same cloth as Charlo, but he is a larger athlete with a solid chin. Many promising boxers see their knockout percentage taper as the competition level increases. That has not been Charlo's story. In fact, Charlo has only grown into his power with time. Charlo deserves credit for that but it's hard to see his power scaling up two divisions against Alvarez's diamond chin. Charlo has a phenomenal left hook, one that he'll almost certainly land, but I don't see him taking out the great Canelo with it at this stage in their respective careers. Charlo needs to pitch a perfect game against Alvarez and I don't think he has the elite experience to do so. I expect Alvarez to take the lead in the middle frames and either capitalize on a desperate Charlo late or cruise to a decision. #alvarezcharlo
