On the night between September 30 and October 1, Saul Alvarez (59-2-2, 39 KOs) will defend his absolute champion status against the same absolute champion, but from a lower category, Jermell Charlo (35-1-1). , 19 knockouts). The conflict echoes, the battle of two absolutes. But still, not all fans are happy.

And they are understandable. Although they are angry in vain, because boxing will be of the highest quality anyway.

Fans wanted Canelo to fight another fighter. But Saul has long ignored their demands

Saul Alvarez is not the first person to achieve historic feats. If at a certain period of his career the basis of his rivalries were famous champions, now these are high-profile fights. I wanted to join the club of Mexicans who won championships in four weight categories, and I did it. I wanted to beat very big and heavy fighters – I beat the Russian Kovalev.

Did the fans want this? Some of it – yes. But for many, the show is more important than the boxer’s individual fights. It just so happens that Canelo isn’t too interested in them.

The talk, of course, is about facing David Benavidez. The man is 26 years old, record is 27-0, 23 knockouts. Large – in terms of size, can easily move up to the light heavyweight category. He pushes and hits too much for Saul to have any trouble. And all of this is in Alvarez’s weight class. So there won’t be any stories about Canelo going to the wrong place.

But Saul generally ignores such requests from fans. He uses his personal authority to box against someone he wants to fight. Does he have the right? There is. Is this fair to the fans? In general, it is impossible to be honest because there will always be people who are dissatisfied. But overall Saul puts on a show, has big fights, sometimes historic fights. Except for a few. That’s why he’s honest. He does what he wants, not what he says.

Who is the confrontation with Charlo for? For Saul. This is another historical event. An absolute and absolute great story, impossible to disagree here. It’s a good challenge, no matter how much those who say Jermell comes from an easier category try to disprove it.

Yes, Jermell Charlo is the undisputed junior middleweight champion (up to 69.8 kg). Saul Alvarez is the absolute champion in the super middleweight class (up to 76.2 kg). But let’s look at the dimensions of life. Canelo is ten centimeters shorter than his opponent – 173 cm versus 183 cm. Canelo’s arms are shorter – 170 cm versus 185 cm. That is, the overall dimensions are still on Charlo’s side. It is unlikely that anyone would think that Jermell weighed exactly one kilogram per kilogram in life, with the numbers the scale showed on the day he was weighed.

Charlo is also an extremely talented, technical and interesting boxer. He understands and sees the distance, works very intelligently both in first and second numbers. He has a punch, he knows how to knock out opponents with one blow or in a series. Universal boxer.

Of course, sometimes he gets into trouble with some rivals. A draw against Brian Castano in 2021 is controversial. The result could easily have gone in favor of his American rival, who appeared to have won minimally. But both Charlo and his coach Derrick James are doing an excellent job of correcting their mistakes. The same Castano was destroyed by the Americans in revenge.

Charlo knows how to adapt to his opponents and do what works for him. Disrupt their plans in your favor. I will have to work as number two; great, maybe he’ll fly here too. The opponent took the initiative; no problem. The streak continues, with heavy blows draining you of stamina or simply knocking you out with each round.

At the same time, Saul didn’t look very good in previous fights. Switching between categories is not easy for anyone. An active professional career of more than ten years is not easy for anyone. Even a physically and mentally strong athlete like Alvarez.

Canelo hasn’t looked good since 2022. Fighting Caleb Plant could definitely be considered a plus. Then came Bivol and defeat. But everything was attributed to the difference in weight and size. Then Golovkin. OK, but not a spectacular victory. A fight that might not have happened because it turned out to be all grey. And the victory over John Ryder was difficult for Saul.

Alvarez talks about hand issues; Because of these problems, he cannot train or box normally. Sure, but why wouldn’t that be a problem now? In a duel against a larger and more technical opponent? At the same time, Alvarez has a contract with PBC; This means big fights for American audiences, too. There is a lot of risk under these circumstances.

Who is the favorite?

Everything is simple and standard here. You can bet on Saul Alvarez at odds of 1.25. In its rival – for 4.0. Yes, the weight difference and Canelo’s status as the permanent favorite; The possibilities are clear. However, it is not clear why Charlo is so much worse than his opponent and why there is such a big difference. In the conditional rematch between Zhilei and Joyce, where the former destroyed the latter, the difference between the odds in the first fight was smaller than here.

Predicting the winner in these types of fights is a bad idea. Because anything can work and the opponents are usually equal. But predicting a great boxing match means getting into the top ten. Stylistically, anthropometrically and considering career stages, this fight is spectacular. It’s not as intense as it was against Benavidez, but it’s not worse.
