Which is why Canelo is highly favored in this fight. And Charlo is not just moving up 1 division but 2 divisions north. Another thing is Charlo's over a year of inactivity. Normally, stars will take a tune-up fight after a long layoff or when moving up in weight but this one is different. The money is just too hard to refuse so Charlo has to take the challenge.
Charlo might be sluggish in this fight and it spells disaster as he can be easily cornered by Canelo who likes to fight someone who is flat-footed so he can unleash his deadly power punches.
Just like most people said, this will be an easy fight for Canelo and he shouldn't be slacking on this one because if he loses the fight, it will be disastrous and shameful for him. imagine losing to a guy who is not that active and came to their weight division just to finish him off. neither both boxers underestimates their opponent but whoever wants to win this fight, better to practice and work hard because this is a lifetime opportunity, especially for Charlo, he should be motivated by being the underdog in this fight.
There's nothing to be ashamed of here; his opponent is also a champion, and we don't know what kind of training he has. Canelo won't be a dominant fighter forever, so in case he loses here, he still has a chance to bounce back as it's never the end for him. The schedule of the fight is very close, and soon the speculation will be over as we will finally see a big fight for Canelo. Well, the majority believes Canelo will win, but this is boxing, and nothing is guaranteed even if he thinks he will easily win.
