With celebrities and fellow champions looking on, Canelo Alvarez and Jermell Charlo were prepared to go to war. When the war started, however, only one man showed up to fight and the other looked lost once he felt the power of his opponent.
Canelo Alvarez started the fight by seemingly trying to prove a point and quiet the doubters. After back-to-back decisions, Alvarez had something to prove heading into his bout with Jermell Charlo. He came out early firing hard punches to the body of Charlo and doing his best to cut him off and keep him against the ropes.
