The expected fight between Saúl ‘Canelo’ Álvarez and Jermell Charlo has gotten spicier after The American claims that he has the power to knock out the Mexican, something that no one has been able to achieve until now.but which could be seen this September 30 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
Charlo gave an interview to Brian Custer’s ‘The Last Stand’ podcast, in which he revealed that he has been around for several years practicing blows that he claims are “unique” and “different”, and he intends to use them against ‘Canelo’.
“I think I can knock him out, yeah. I think I have the power to knock him out. I throw a lot of blinding shots and I throw a lot of different shots that are unique. It’s strange and very, very different from a lot of other people, and they are very strong. And I’ve been shooting those shots for years and practicing certain specific shots for years. And I think one of them will play it,” he said.
But this confidence that the undisputed 154-pound champion has has against it the fact that Saúl Álvarez has only lost two fights in his career Floyd Mayweather and Dmitry Bivolrespectively, and none were close to being knockouts.
On the other hand, an important factor works against Jermell Charlo and that is the lack of rhythm since He has about a year and a half without contesting an official fight and less than these demands, in which he had to go up two categories to be able to face the Mexican.
However, the American looks good physically and an example of this was the promotional press conference for the fight, in which he looked bigger than ‘Canelo’.
Likewise, it should be noted that knocking out the undisputed super middleweight champion will not be the only objective of Charlo, who Just by achieving victory, he will become the third champion fighter in two categories.something that only his compatriots Terence Crawford and Claressa Shields have achieved
It should be remembered that Jermell Charlo comes into this fight with a lifetime record of 35 wins (19 by knockouts), one loss and one draw. For his part, ‘Canelo’ Álvarez has a record of 59 wins (39 KO) and two losses.
