That's the thing. You 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,760 Speaker 2: got two kings if you will a top of this one. 17 00:00:59,320 --> 00:01:01,279 Speaker 2: We are the co some Morning Combat which you can 18 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:04,679 Speaker 2: catch every Monday and Wednesday and Friday.

But Luke Thomas. When 21 00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 2: I say Canelo versus Charlo, you got that feeling of royalty? 22 00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:16,319 Speaker 2: What else is on the line here? Historically when you 23 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 2: look at this matchup. 24 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:19,080 Speaker 3: This is a huge one, right, this is this is 25 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:21,280 Speaker 3: the biggest test first of all for Jamel Charlo. 26 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,759 Speaker 1: I mean, the guys, this is how interesting the fight is, right. 27 00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:27,160 Speaker 3: The guy is already an undisputed champion in his own 28 00:01:27,160 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 3: weight class. Here he is attempting the biggest win jumping 29 00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,520 Speaker 3: up two weight classes. We're talking about a historic achievement 30 00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:35,520 Speaker 3: if you were to be able to secure one in 31 00:01:35,560 --> 00:01:38,319 Speaker 3: this way on Saturday, September thirtieth. That's on his side 32 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 3: for Canelo, chasing his sixtieth win fighting someone now two 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,959 Speaker 3: weight classes below him, naturally, but of course we see 34 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:46,840 Speaker 3: it feeds into the other part of the story. We 35 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:49,000 Speaker 3: all kind of thought it was gonna be his brother, 36 00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:52,680 Speaker 3: Jamal Charlo, and then of course that didn't happen. Jermel 37 00:01:52,760 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: steps in and some people are saying, well, Jamel actually 38 00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,680 Speaker 3: might even be a bit of a tougher fight. Of course, 39 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 3: undisputed at one to fifty four, Jamal a champ, been 40 00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 3: at one hundred and sixty, So in either case, It 41 00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,680 Speaker 3: was a surprise turn of events, but one that actually 42 00:02:05,840 --> 00:02:08,799 Speaker 3: upped the amount of belts, the amount of storyline, the 43 00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,960 Speaker 3: amount of intrigue. Huge questions to be asked here from 44 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,720 Speaker 3: both guys. I guess we're gonna see what. 45 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,320 Speaker 2: Happened, no question, not just the surprise factor in getting 46 00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:19,480 Speaker 2: this matchup, which takes place inside Team Mobile Arena in 47 00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:23,359 Speaker 2: Las Vegas. That's big enough right there, But it's hard 48 00:02:23,360 --> 00:02:26,440 Speaker 2: to handicap this one. Jamel charlow in and around the 49 00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,200 Speaker 2: top ten pound for pound in recent years, Yes, taking 50 00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:31,880 Speaker 2: a huge leap moving up two weight divisions, but when 51 00:02:31,919 --> 00:02:34,680 Speaker 2: you see the two standoff against one another like we did, 52 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: he looks bigger. In the East Coast West Coast press 53 00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:41,160 Speaker 2: conference tour to kick this fight off, Jermel looks huge 54 00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 2: for this. Canelo has always been a smallish middleway eventually 55 00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,280 Speaker 2: super middleweight. Heck, he's won titles as high as one 56 00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: hundred and seventy five pounds. Canelo one of the greatest 57 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:52,400 Speaker 2: of all time. But these two catching each other at 58 00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: the right time, both thirty three years old, both superstars, 59 00:02:55,919 --> 00:02:58,840 Speaker 2: undisputed champions. Jamel obviously has a chance to make a 60 00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:01,760 Speaker 2: much bigger leap in a short period with what this 61 00:03:01,800 --> 00:03:04,680 Speaker 2: can do to his legacy. But wow, this is one 62 00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: of those fights where it's like, don't know which one 63 00:03:07,680 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: way this is going to lean, how it's going to 64 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:12,240 Speaker 2: play out. But what would that mean for Jermel Charlo. 65 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:16,320 Speaker 2: Canelo's already that superstar, that four division champion, really fighting 66 00:03:16,360 --> 00:03:19,040 Speaker 2: on his way to maybe one day become the greatest 67 00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:22,000 Speaker 2: fighter in the lineage of Mexican boxing, which has mean 68 00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,080 Speaker 2: so much. But we really recently saw Terrence Crawford become 69 00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:27,919 Speaker 2: the first fighter in this modern four belt era which 70 00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,600 Speaker 2: began in the late eighties, to be undisputed in two 71 00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,639 Speaker 2: divisions That just happened over the summer against Errol Spence Junior. 72 00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,520 Speaker 2: If Jermel Charlo joins that group and does it this 73 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,240 Speaker 2: many weight classes apart from one fifty four up to 74 00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 2: one sixty eight, you're just adding more historical, you know, sauce. 75 00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 2: On top of that. 76 00:03:44,840 --> 00:03:48,320 Speaker 3: Jamel Charlo has been quite adamant that everything in his 77 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 3: career has led to this moment. In fact, that he 78 00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,720 Speaker 3: has been the one chasing Canelo and now he has 79 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,000 Speaker 3: this opportunity again. It kind of came a little bit 80 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,160 Speaker 3: surprisingly least to the public, to chase something here and 81 00:03:59,200 --> 00:04:01,240 Speaker 3: beating a sh sure fire Hall of famer, one of 82 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: the best Mexican boxers ever, and again the guy who 83 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 3: holds all of the belts. Two weight classes above where 84 00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:08,040 Speaker 3: he holds all of the belts. But BC, we shouldn't 85 00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,760 Speaker 3: lose out of the fact that Canelo, you're, right, superstar 86 00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:14,040 Speaker 3: legend in the game, chasing his sixtieth win, and he's 87 00:04:14,080 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 3: the same age as Jamal Charlow right, so just vastly 88 00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,120 Speaker 3: more professional experience. But there have been some questions right 89 00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,560 Speaker 3: when he went up to one seventy five. He got 90 00:04:21,560 --> 00:04:23,520 Speaker 3: the win against Kovilev, but against Bill Woldo was a 91 00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 3: bit of a setback there, and he looked good against 92 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:26,720 Speaker 3: John Ryder, but John Ryder. 93 00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,560 Speaker 1: Was able to last the distance. 94 00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,040 Speaker 3: And some folks are saying, hey, he's thirty three, what 95 00:04:30,120 --> 00:04:32,159 Speaker 3: does he really have left? Well, now he's got a 96 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:34,840 Speaker 3: guy who is a at least for his own weight class, 97 00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:38,720 Speaker 3: a big puncher, a great athlete, same age. You get 98 00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,599 Speaker 3: to put to bed some of those questions if he 99 00:04:41,640 --> 00:04:43,120 Speaker 3: can go out there and really put it on. 100 00:04:43,120 --> 00:04:45,840 Speaker 2: Drem lchar no question, not to mention the whole storyline 101 00:04:45,960 --> 00:04:48,000 Speaker 2: at thirty three for Canelo is this a little bit 102 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:50,920 Speaker 2: of a weathered older Canelo his last three fights which 103 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,120 Speaker 2: where he's gone too and one overall, he'll tell you 104 00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:55,400 Speaker 2: I had a left hand injury. It wasn't really the 105 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 2: best of me. See me now in a full fight camp. 106 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:02,040 Speaker 2: You certainly have that up against the questions of Jamel Charlow. 107 00:05:02,279 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: What's it going to look like two divisions higher? Will 108 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 2: that punching power carry? What about the chin and all 109 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,080 Speaker 2: of that. But look, when we're talking about this modern 110 00:05:09,240 --> 00:05:12,320 Speaker 2: four belt history of the last few decades, we've only 111 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 2: seen ten champions reach undisputed status on the men's side, 112 00:05:17,480 --> 00:05:20,680 Speaker 2: and this is the first time to reigning and defending 113 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:23,719 Speaker 2: men's undisputed champions will face off against one another. But 114 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:27,000 Speaker 2: that list is impressive when starting with Bernard Hopkins in 115 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 2: two thousand and four and running all the way through 116 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:31,880 Speaker 2: what Terrence Crawford recently did to Erol Spence. In this era, 117 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,560 Speaker 2: if you can get all four recognized titles together and 118 00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:37,800 Speaker 2: become that champion, it's one face, one name atop that division. 119 00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:38,560 Speaker 2: That's what we like it. 120 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:41,920 Speaker 3: And for a guy like Nilalvarez, he would just retain 121 00:05:41,960 --> 00:05:43,520 Speaker 3: all of his belts if he wins obviously, but can 122 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,400 Speaker 3: you imagine if Jamel Charlo wins, will have the four 123 00:05:46,440 --> 00:05:48,720 Speaker 3: belts from the one to fifty four pound way class, 124 00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:52,359 Speaker 3: then all of what would have been Canelo's belts all together. 125 00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:56,360 Speaker 3: That's like Thanos getting all of the Infinity Stones and 126 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:58,520 Speaker 3: then using the Infinity Gauntlet to take over everything. 127 00:05:58,520 --> 00:05:59,720 Speaker 1: I mean, it would be you. 128 00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,040 Speaker 3: You just don't see sights like that where guys carry 129 00:06:03,080 --> 00:06:04,039 Speaker 3: that kind of hardware. 130 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: It tells you how rare a fight like this really. 131 00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:09,440 Speaker 2: Is, without question, so much history, so much royalty, and 132 00:06:09,480 --> 00:06:12,520 Speaker 2: a fight that you don't really know what it's gonna 133 00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,800 Speaker 2: look like or ultimately which direction it will go, and 134 00:06:16,080 --> 00:06:17,960 Speaker 2: those are the best fights. It certainly isn't a fifty 135 00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:20,240 Speaker 2: to fifty match up from the standpoint of betting odds 136 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 2: because of the answers that Jim Charlo has to answer 137 00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:26,720 Speaker 2: only in the ring comes Saturday night, but the standpoint 138 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,160 Speaker 2: of him raising himself, that's a storyline coming in Jamel Charlo. 139 00:06:30,200 --> 00:06:32,359 Speaker 2: We've seen him lose once in the past to Tony Harrison. 140 00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:35,040 Speaker 2: We've seen him fight to a draw against Brian Castanio 141 00:06:35,279 --> 00:06:38,120 Speaker 2: and their initial on disputed championship out at one fifty four, 142 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:41,120 Speaker 2: but Luke, you follow Charlo's career, what do they do? 143 00:06:41,360 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 2: Both times avenged it by knockout in title rematches. This 144 00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:47,400 Speaker 2: is a fighter who can raise his game to an 145 00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:48,280 Speaker 2: all different level. 146 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,359 Speaker 3: Again, between the two Charlo brothers, there's an argument to 147 00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 3: be made that Jermel is the more skillful of the two, 148 00:06:52,680 --> 00:06:54,880 Speaker 3: and that's who Canelo has to lock horns with on Saturday, 149 00:06:54,880 --> 00:06:55,640 Speaker 3: September thirtieth. 150 00:06:55,640 --> 00:06:56,800 Speaker 2: We're gonna be with you for the rest of the 151 00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:01,200 Speaker 2: hour as this Morning Combat Takeover continues here on CBS 152 00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:04,960 Speaker 2: Sports Network and this showdown pay per view brought to 153 00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 2: you by Premiere Boxing Champions. We are excited and when 154 00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:11,360 Speaker 2: we return, it's time to do a little resume review 155 00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:14,720 Speaker 2: Canelo's style. Will look back at the Mexican Superstars rise, 156 00:07:14,760 --> 00:07:16,960 Speaker 2: his biggest wins, and how he got here when the 157 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:29,880 Speaker 2: Morning Combat Takeover and the Ultimate Preview returns Canelo versus Charlo, 158 00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:33,360 Speaker 2: The Ultimate Preview Getting Fired Up for Saturday, September thirtieth 159 00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,640 Speaker 2: continues right now and the Morning Combat Takeover. Luke Thomas, 160 00:07:36,720 --> 00:07:39,600 Speaker 2: when we look at the tremendous rise of Mexican icon 161 00:07:39,640 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: and four division champion Canelo Alvarez, it seemed only perfect 162 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000 Speaker 2: that we would take a segment of our award winning 163 00:07:45,040 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: show Morning Combat resume Review and break down the best 164 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:51,560 Speaker 2: moments of how Canelo got here. So, if I'm looking 165 00:07:51,600 --> 00:07:53,960 Speaker 2: at the three fights that have defined his career, Luke, 166 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 2: I got to start first and foremost at what I 167 00:07:55,640 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 2: believe to be his biggest win, and that went down 168 00:07:57,680 --> 00:08:01,520 Speaker 2: September fifteenth, twenty eighteen, Team Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 2: the rematch with Ganadi Glovekin to unify three middleweight world titles. Luke, 170 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:09,680 Speaker 2: you remember the year before twenty seventeen, they fought to 171 00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,960 Speaker 2: a very disputed draw where many people thought Triple G 172 00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,320 Speaker 2: should have gotten the nod. What type of response did 173 00:08:16,360 --> 00:08:17,720 Speaker 2: Cannelo make in that rematch to you? 174 00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:20,280 Speaker 1: A complete reformation in the first fight. 175 00:08:20,480 --> 00:08:23,680 Speaker 3: Not only was the scoring debatable to the point of 176 00:08:23,680 --> 00:08:24,360 Speaker 3: being questionable. 177 00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,559 Speaker 1: That had some folks's eyes. But that's not the story. 178 00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:30,480 Speaker 3: Adelaide Bird, anybody Adelaide Bird, She's still around. But the 179 00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,760 Speaker 3: point is that Canello got backed up the entire time 180 00:08:32,800 --> 00:08:34,880 Speaker 3: in the first fight. He got pushed around. It was 181 00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,760 Speaker 3: Triple G who was leading the way. It was Triple 182 00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:39,280 Speaker 3: G who was kind of dictating real estate and position. 183 00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:42,480 Speaker 3: But BC as you indicated, not only is this a 184 00:08:42,480 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 3: great win because obviously Canelo got his hand raised, but 185 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:49,120 Speaker 3: because he turned the tide completely in the second fight. 186 00:08:49,559 --> 00:08:52,320 Speaker 3: It was him pushing Triple G around, it was him 187 00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 3: meeting him in the middle. It was him putting this guy, 188 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:59,200 Speaker 3: this monster, the big drama show on the back foot 189 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:00,640 Speaker 3: and bc it worked. 190 00:09:00,679 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 1: It was a much better performance. 191 00:09:02,440 --> 00:09:04,400 Speaker 3: Again, whatever what you people thought of the first fight 192 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,960 Speaker 3: versus the second one, this was a much stronger showing 193 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:07,600 Speaker 3: from Canelo. 194 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:10,400 Speaker 1: But it was more than that. It was a courageous 195 00:09:10,480 --> 00:09:11,240 Speaker 1: showing from him. 196 00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 3: He really took the opportunity to say I'm gonna grab 197 00:09:14,880 --> 00:09:16,679 Speaker 3: this fight by the scruff of the neck, and that's 198 00:09:16,679 --> 00:09:17,840 Speaker 3: why he got the w in the end. 199 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:19,120 Speaker 2: Look, this is one of the best fights of the 200 00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:21,400 Speaker 2: modern era when you bring in the standpoint of what 201 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,920 Speaker 2: it meant mixed with how exciting it was a majority 202 00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 2: decision win for Alparez that still was debated like the 203 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:28,960 Speaker 2: first fight, because TRIPLEG. You got to give him the credit. 204 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:30,960 Speaker 2: He was in this from start to finish. His jab 205 00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,959 Speaker 2: was always a big factor. But you have to look 206 00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,120 Speaker 2: at this even closer than that and say this might 207 00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 2: be the night that Canelo won over even the most 208 00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,280 Speaker 2: critical Mexican old school boxing fan who rightfully adored Julio 209 00:09:42,360 --> 00:09:44,800 Speaker 2: says Ar Chavez Senior. But what they saw on this 210 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:47,480 Speaker 2: night was everything you mentioned, Canelo doing it the hard way. 211 00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,960 Speaker 2: He ate tremendous punishment from one of the most devastating 212 00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,280 Speaker 2: knockout punchers in Glufkin, in middleweight history, and in some ways, 213 00:09:54,280 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 2: if you look at the stats boxing history, that's when Canello, 214 00:09:58,160 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 2: you want to say, became a man. He was already 215 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,480 Speaker 2: a created champion, had beat so many legends even before that, 216 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:04,679 Speaker 2: but there was a before and after feeling like if 217 00:10:04,720 --> 00:10:06,920 Speaker 2: he could do this against Glovekin in a close fight, 218 00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:08,680 Speaker 2: what else could he do moving forward? 219 00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:10,200 Speaker 1: And by the way, I'm glad you brought it up. 220 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:14,840 Speaker 3: One additional note there, the chin on Canelo Alvarez legendary 221 00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:17,600 Speaker 3: never been down, never been knocked down, took some of 222 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:21,000 Speaker 3: Tripleg's best punches and just walked through them amazing. 223 00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:24,600 Speaker 2: Well, that idea of Canelo potentially being limitless after that 224 00:10:24,640 --> 00:10:29,280 Speaker 2: performance against Galovkin really took form some fourteen months and 225 00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,200 Speaker 2: three fights later, also in Las Vegas, this time at 226 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,880 Speaker 2: the MGM Grand Garden Arena, and it was November second, 227 00:10:34,960 --> 00:10:38,480 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, when Canelo, former champion at one fifty four, 228 00:10:38,640 --> 00:10:42,080 Speaker 2: unified champion at one sixty decided to go all the 229 00:10:42,120 --> 00:10:45,360 Speaker 2: way up after winning a secondary title at one hundred 230 00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 2: and sixty eight pounds, to the light heavyweight division. It's 231 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,240 Speaker 2: crazy and to look back on this now we go, 232 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:54,439 Speaker 2: Oh Canelo versus Sergei Kovlev great knockout, saw the highlight. 233 00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:58,280 Speaker 2: He was moving up to ridiculous, unchartered territory from the 234 00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:02,040 Speaker 2: standpoint of daring to be great against an older Sergey Kovalev, 235 00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:03,800 Speaker 2: who came in with a record of thirty four to 236 00:11:03,800 --> 00:11:06,480 Speaker 2: three and one. But you know the reputation, the power 237 00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,840 Speaker 2: of Covalev and just that size difference. But yet it 238 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:12,600 Speaker 2: was Canello who acted like the bigger man and walked 239 00:11:12,840 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 2: the slugger down at one seventy five. 240 00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 1: He really did, and then he finished him off against 241 00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: the ropes. 242 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:18,800 Speaker 3: But BC, there's also an argument to be made Kovalev 243 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 3: was winning that contest up until the point of the stoppage. Again, 244 00:11:21,679 --> 00:11:24,560 Speaker 3: some of that is debatable, but nevertheless, here is a 245 00:11:24,600 --> 00:11:27,000 Speaker 3: guy daring to be great, to borrow from the great 246 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:30,200 Speaker 3: Brian Campbell, really trying to do something spectacular and go 247 00:11:30,280 --> 00:11:32,040 Speaker 3: up to one seventy five. And yes, was this a 248 00:11:32,120 --> 00:11:35,240 Speaker 3: prime Covalev that is certainly in debate. Okay, fair enough, 249 00:11:35,440 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 3: but for his power to carry as far as it did, 250 00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:41,439 Speaker 3: for him to rally, not rally, but you know, finish strong, 251 00:11:41,520 --> 00:11:43,040 Speaker 3: Let's put it that way. In the way that he did, 252 00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:47,280 Speaker 3: it showed you that Canelo truly is capable of extraordinary greatness. 253 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:50,400 Speaker 2: I mean he connected on a meaning Alvarez nearly fifty 254 00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:53,920 Speaker 2: percent of his power shots in this fight. Kovalev turned 255 00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:56,760 Speaker 2: into the boxer, but Canelo got the late stoppage, got 256 00:11:56,760 --> 00:11:59,600 Speaker 2: the late finished in just a legendary performance there with 257 00:11:59,640 --> 00:12:03,280 Speaker 2: the eleven round knockout fight number three. And it's hard 258 00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:06,480 Speaker 2: to pick when you're talking about somebody like Canelo, but look, 259 00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:08,200 Speaker 2: this one stood out to you. It was the fight 260 00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:11,280 Speaker 2: before the Sergey cove Left fight. Same thing, Las Vegas, 261 00:12:11,320 --> 00:12:14,520 Speaker 2: t Mobile Arena, May fourth of twenty nineteen, and a 262 00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,520 Speaker 2: middleweight title unification about against the very skilled and talented 263 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:21,440 Speaker 2: thirty five and two Daniel Jacobs. And I had long 264 00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:24,839 Speaker 2: said as a boxing critic and journalist, if he can 265 00:12:24,840 --> 00:12:27,199 Speaker 2: get into the ring, meaning Canelo with Jacobs, you've got 266 00:12:27,240 --> 00:12:31,720 Speaker 2: size speed, power, length. These are things that Canelo hadn't 267 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:33,160 Speaker 2: seen in this full package like this. 268 00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,400 Speaker 1: I love this fight for a very particular reason. 269 00:12:35,440 --> 00:12:37,400 Speaker 3: A lot of times in boxing and combat sports we 270 00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,000 Speaker 3: talk about intangibles like who wants it more, or things 271 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:43,200 Speaker 3: that folks can easily point to, big power, big chin, whatever. 272 00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:46,120 Speaker 3: But in this fight, it was smarts and Danny Jacob 273 00:12:46,320 --> 00:12:49,040 Speaker 3: gave Canelo, I won't say everything he could handle, but 274 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:51,000 Speaker 3: a lot to think about. Two of the judges had 275 00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:53,960 Speaker 3: at one fifteen, one thirteen, a very close fight, the 276 00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:55,960 Speaker 3: other one had I believe one sixteen to one twelve. 277 00:12:56,280 --> 00:12:58,040 Speaker 3: So it was close all the way through, two of 278 00:12:58,040 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 3: the judges hading it by a narrow margin, and then 279 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:03,000 Speaker 3: Danny Jacobs by the way, coming on a little bit late, 280 00:13:03,080 --> 00:13:06,760 Speaker 3: hitting Canelo with some huge punches along the way. But 281 00:13:06,840 --> 00:13:11,560 Speaker 3: it was how canelo problem solved and BC while Jacob's 282 00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:13,200 Speaker 3: had a bit of a late rally in this fight, 283 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:15,800 Speaker 3: it was to me some of the defensive work his 284 00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:19,280 Speaker 3: famous highlights that come from this fight of Canelo using 285 00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 3: his famous head, shoulder and trunk movement to get out 286 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: of the way. It's the IQ, it's the problem solving 287 00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:26,120 Speaker 3: in this fight that I really liked. 288 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,440 Speaker 2: Canello connecky, I'm forty percent of his punches overall, nearly 289 00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 2: forty six percent of his power shots and incredible victory. 290 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:34,600 Speaker 2: And look, it's Canelo, so we can cheat a little 291 00:13:34,679 --> 00:13:36,760 Speaker 2: out a couple bonus ones. I love the when he 292 00:13:36,880 --> 00:13:39,680 Speaker 2: first won the middleweight title in twenty fifteen by out 293 00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 2: boxing Miguel Coto, But that twenty nineteen super middleweight four 294 00:13:43,320 --> 00:13:46,440 Speaker 2: belt unification against Caleb Plant, we did see everything that 295 00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,760 Speaker 2: makes Canello great in that one. 296 00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:49,760 Speaker 3: I think it was twenty twenty one when he thought 297 00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 3: Caleb twenty twenty teenty. But nevertheless, yes, wait, we're there 298 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:55,560 Speaker 3: for that one. Another guy, the slickster, very hard to find. 299 00:13:55,720 --> 00:13:58,079 Speaker 3: So Canelo had to use all of his trapping skills 300 00:13:58,080 --> 00:14:01,559 Speaker 3: and his very careful shot selections, and he still managed 301 00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,480 Speaker 3: to get him done. Took a while, took up until 302 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 3: the eleventh, but he hunted him down, got the job done. 303 00:14:06,840 --> 00:14:10,480 Speaker 3: It shows you doesn't matter, the style doesn't matter, the size, 304 00:14:10,679 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 3: none of it does. Canelo had an answer up to 305 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 3: all it through all of these fights. 306 00:14:14,360 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: And how great was Canelo. He can fight in so 307 00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,880 Speaker 2: many different divisions, He can also fight in so many 308 00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:20,520 Speaker 2: different styles, We've seen him as the one punch counterpuncher, 309 00:14:20,600 --> 00:14:23,360 Speaker 2: We've seen him as the aggressive boxer. We've also seen 310 00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:25,440 Speaker 2: him as the slugger, like when he walked down Covele. 311 00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:29,400 Speaker 2: Have an incredible career that's still going for Canelo Alvarez, 312 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:31,520 Speaker 2: but when we return, we'll look at the journey his 313 00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:34,640 Speaker 2: opponent took to get to this point. The four belt 314 00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:37,760 Speaker 2: one hundred and fifty four pound champion, Jermeal Charlow is 315 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,720 Speaker 2: going to go under the resume review spotlight when Luke 316 00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:44,120 Speaker 2: Thomas Brian Campbell in the morning. Combat Takeover continues here 317 00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:55,960 Speaker 2: on CBS Sports Network. Undisputed Versus Undisputed. It goes down 318 00:14:55,960 --> 00:14:59,280 Speaker 2: this Saturday, Canelo versus Charlo. How about a resume review 319 00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:03,040 Speaker 2: of the thirty five old Jamel Charlo, the undisputed champion 320 00:15:03,080 --> 00:15:04,960 Speaker 2: at one hundred and fifty four pounds. Luke, we know 321 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,920 Speaker 2: taking a big risk here and moving up two weight divisions, 322 00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:11,160 Speaker 2: but his path to get here has featured tremendous fights, 323 00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 2: especially in rematches, and number one on our resume review 324 00:15:14,720 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: of Charlo is his last fight two years ago Brian Costano, 325 00:15:18,600 --> 00:15:22,520 Speaker 2: the May fourteenth, twenty twenty two rematch of their disputed 326 00:15:22,640 --> 00:15:27,240 Speaker 2: draw unifying all four one hundred fifty four pounds titles. Luke. 327 00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:29,440 Speaker 2: For as close as that first one was, and you 328 00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:33,120 Speaker 2: certainly could argue in favor of Castano, what did Charlo 329 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:35,760 Speaker 2: do in this rematch? Take the judges out of it? 330 00:15:36,240 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 3: He took the judges out of it with his brilliant 331 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:39,920 Speaker 3: left hook. He has just one of the best left 332 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,400 Speaker 3: hooks in all of boxing. But it was more than that. 333 00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:45,600 Speaker 3: You can't get away from the pressure of Brian Castano. 334 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,560 Speaker 3: It was all over him like white on rice. So 335 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 3: he kind of did what he could to mitigate it. 336 00:15:49,800 --> 00:15:53,040 Speaker 3: Good lateral movement, pump at the jab when it was appropriate, 337 00:15:53,440 --> 00:15:56,840 Speaker 3: but more than that, fighting fire with fire, sitting down 338 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,880 Speaker 3: on his punches, excepting that some close contact was inevitable, 339 00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:03,280 Speaker 3: but using the better shot selection, better timing, everything else 340 00:16:03,320 --> 00:16:06,200 Speaker 3: involved to get the job done. Finally cracked him with 341 00:16:06,200 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 3: a left hook, sent him collaps into the canvas. He 342 00:16:08,640 --> 00:16:12,040 Speaker 3: couldn't really recover thereafter, and Charlo unified the weight class. 343 00:16:12,120 --> 00:16:14,000 Speaker 2: This was the best one in Charlo's career because of 344 00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:16,680 Speaker 2: what people were saying. Did look a little bit flat 345 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,720 Speaker 2: and overwhelmed in the first fight by Castano's aggressive style 346 00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,320 Speaker 2: from Argentina. But what they did in the rematch with 347 00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 2: Charlo meeting him in the phone booth and basically saying, 348 00:16:25,200 --> 00:16:27,680 Speaker 2: I'm more skilled. I got more dog or maybe more 349 00:16:27,760 --> 00:16:30,440 Speaker 2: lion than you. In that regard, why his only power 350 00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 2: one out look. I always say it normally, if somebody 351 00:16:32,640 --> 00:16:34,960 Speaker 2: connects on forty percent of their power punch as we say, well, 352 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,560 Speaker 2: they probably won the fight. And this fight, both fighters 353 00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 2: connected on more than forty percent, nearly forty seven for Charlo. 354 00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,520 Speaker 2: It was a two way war. Both had big moments, 355 00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:47,000 Speaker 2: but Charlo was right his chin, his power and the 356 00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,520 Speaker 2: delivery system he used to get there. He matched Castano 357 00:16:50,600 --> 00:16:54,200 Speaker 2: invested him when it mattered most to secure history. We 358 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:57,160 Speaker 2: talked earlier about Charlo having a thing for rematches. In 359 00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:00,320 Speaker 2: raising his game, you got to go back to his 360 00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,920 Speaker 2: second time with Tony Harrison. Harrison had taken a decision 361 00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:07,800 Speaker 2: off of Jamel Charlo in late twenty eighteen, disputed one 362 00:17:07,840 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: of that could have gone either way. When they got 363 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:12,960 Speaker 2: a second chance on national television with the world watching, 364 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:16,639 Speaker 2: It's something about Charlo. When you pushed Jermel, put his 365 00:17:16,720 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 2: back to the wall, raised the criticism against him. Sometimes 366 00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 2: what you get is spectacular Luke. This one was in Ontario, California, 367 00:17:25,280 --> 00:17:28,280 Speaker 2: December twenty first, twenty nineteen. What jumps out to you 368 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,040 Speaker 2: the most when looking back on Charlo Harrison too. 369 00:17:30,960 --> 00:17:33,920 Speaker 3: By the way, another left hook that sent Tony Harrison 370 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,080 Speaker 3: crashing to the canvas a couple of times in this fight. 371 00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,040 Speaker 3: The big thing to me was I talked to Stephen 372 00:17:39,080 --> 00:17:41,760 Speaker 3: Bredman Edwards in August and what he told me was, 373 00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:44,159 Speaker 3: Jamel Charlo has the clutch gene because if you go 374 00:17:44,200 --> 00:17:46,080 Speaker 3: back and you watch this fight, even in the rematch, 375 00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:49,600 Speaker 3: for long stretches of the fight, Harrison is out boxing him. 376 00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:53,320 Speaker 3: He's landing all kinds of stuff, and really, in many cases, 377 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 3: Charlo didn't have an answer. But here's what he did 378 00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,560 Speaker 3: have patience, and he figured out, I can't punch when 379 00:17:59,640 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 3: Harrison is really employing all his defense. But if I 380 00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:04,520 Speaker 3: can get him to open up, if I can get 381 00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 3: him to really extend himself and I can punch with him, well, 382 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,159 Speaker 3: now it's a different ballgame. He does exactly that dropped 383 00:18:11,200 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 3: him early in the fight, and then of course at 384 00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:17,320 Speaker 3: the end, and Harrison simply could not recover. I'm gonna 385 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:19,560 Speaker 3: say it one more time. The left hook of Dremel. 386 00:18:19,640 --> 00:18:21,840 Speaker 3: Charlow is one of the best in all of the sport, 387 00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:25,520 Speaker 3: and he used it to fantastic effect in this fight. Wow, 388 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,400 Speaker 3: definitely being down on the scorecard. 389 00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:30,880 Speaker 2: There's been different points of interest in Charloe's career, different arcs, 390 00:18:30,920 --> 00:18:32,719 Speaker 2: but this was the period he was figuring out how 391 00:18:32,760 --> 00:18:36,480 Speaker 2: to be a lethal counterpuncher, landing just shy of fifty 392 00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 2: percent of his power punches overall, and even though it 393 00:18:39,080 --> 00:18:42,240 Speaker 2: took until round eleven to get there, that power arrived 394 00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:44,639 Speaker 2: and it was a game changer if you're gonna look 395 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,639 Speaker 2: at a third fight. Though, to pick of Charlo's career, 396 00:18:46,760 --> 00:18:49,320 Speaker 2: there's something about when he decided to join forces with 397 00:18:49,400 --> 00:18:52,000 Speaker 2: Derek James, one of the top trainers in boxing, and 398 00:18:52,080 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 2: what James did to bring out the power. People forget 399 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 2: that Dremmel was looked at as more of a slick 400 00:18:57,160 --> 00:19:01,000 Speaker 2: boxer earlier in his career, but October fourteenth to twenty seventeen, 401 00:19:01,320 --> 00:19:04,159 Speaker 2: in the third defense of his WBC one hundred and 402 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:07,880 Speaker 2: fifty four pound title, young Ericson Lubin brought in an 403 00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 2: eighteen and er record against Charlo Luke. This fight did 404 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,479 Speaker 2: not get out of the first round, but what we learned, 405 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,720 Speaker 2: and we're in the process of learning, as Charlo was 406 00:19:15,760 --> 00:19:18,360 Speaker 2: fresh off a similar destruction of Charles Hatley a few 407 00:19:18,359 --> 00:19:21,359 Speaker 2: months earlier. Is if you were in range against Jermal Charlow, 408 00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:22,000 Speaker 2: you're in trouble. 409 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: The interesting part about Jimal Charlow is we've been talking 410 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 3: about his left hook and how legendary it is, and 411 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:27,879 Speaker 3: it is all of those things. 412 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:30,520 Speaker 1: But how about this fact, folks, He's got power in 413 00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: both hands. 414 00:19:31,240 --> 00:19:32,960 Speaker 3: He finished Lubin off with the first right hand I 415 00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 3: believe he threw in the entire fight, certainly the first uppercut. 416 00:19:35,800 --> 00:19:36,439 Speaker 1: Now Lubin was. 417 00:19:36,440 --> 00:19:38,560 Speaker 3: Moving into it and this was a huge meeting between 418 00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:42,200 Speaker 3: top prospects at the time, and Charlo just ran him 419 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:45,280 Speaker 3: over with that right hand of his getting the uppercut. 420 00:19:45,280 --> 00:19:47,639 Speaker 3: And it goes to show YOUBC, a guy like Charlo 421 00:19:47,760 --> 00:19:50,120 Speaker 3: can win with his jab like he did against Jason Rosario, 422 00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:52,520 Speaker 3: jabbing to the body, scoring and finish that way. He 423 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 3: can win with the left hook. So he's very lead 424 00:19:54,320 --> 00:19:58,000 Speaker 3: hand dominant, but when he needs to, that big, powerful 425 00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:01,800 Speaker 3: right hand, athletic, well timed, well trained, it can do 426 00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 3: damage as well. 427 00:20:02,560 --> 00:20:04,680 Speaker 1: And it sent Lup into the land of winding ghosts. 428 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 2: Thirty five one in one, the Ledger for Jamel Charlow 429 00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,960 Speaker 2: nineteen knockouts, But it's really that rounding out of his 430 00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:14,520 Speaker 2: game over the years. Now he can fight so many 431 00:20:14,520 --> 00:20:17,040 Speaker 2: different styles. Will he need to be the boxer against 432 00:20:17,040 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 2: Canelo or the puncher or maybe a hybrid of both. 433 00:20:19,920 --> 00:20:22,040 Speaker 2: We're gonna find out, of course, a team mobile Arena 434 00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:27,120 Speaker 2: this Saturday, and only on show Time pay per view. Obviously, 435 00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 2: Charlotte isn't the same accomplishments, the same sort of legendary 436 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 2: run and few have had of Canelo, but he's really 437 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,600 Speaker 2: been putting together big names in big fights and big opportunities. 438 00:20:36,720 --> 00:20:39,240 Speaker 2: It does seem to fit his personality to go from 439 00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:41,920 Speaker 2: making history against Castano to wanting to do the same 440 00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:42,760 Speaker 2: with Canelo again. 441 00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:45,919 Speaker 3: Klus Jean, the guy finds ways to win fights. He 442 00:20:45,960 --> 00:20:48,760 Speaker 3: did not arrive here by accident. He might have arrived 443 00:20:48,760 --> 00:20:52,360 Speaker 3: here somewhat fortuitously, but he didn't arrive here by accident. 444 00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:55,520 Speaker 3: He's a real threat, and again we haven't we have 445 00:20:55,560 --> 00:20:57,760 Speaker 3: talked about it in detail, but when they stand next 446 00:20:57,760 --> 00:20:59,760 Speaker 3: to each other, you can see that he looks to 447 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,320 Speaker 3: be something of a similar frame, actually bigger frame than Canelo. 448 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:05,199 Speaker 3: Despite having to move up two different weight classes. But 449 00:21:05,359 --> 00:21:07,439 Speaker 3: one more note on this thing. If I can the 450 00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,400 Speaker 3: right hand, he used to stop all kinds of guys 451 00:21:09,400 --> 00:21:12,320 Speaker 3: with it right Derek Lubin was one, John Jackson was 452 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,199 Speaker 3: another one before that, and now it's mostly with his 453 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,480 Speaker 3: left hand. He has refined his game around core weapons, 454 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,800 Speaker 3: and honestly, I think that makes him more dangerous. You 455 00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,480 Speaker 3: might say it's simplified his game, and it has, but 456 00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 3: that is what has made it more dangerous if you 457 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:26,679 Speaker 3: ask me, well. 458 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,760 Speaker 2: When we return, we're gonna take what may look like 459 00:21:28,840 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 2: the simple, but break it down with deep detail. Professor 460 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,000 Speaker 2: Saltan Pepper Luke Thomas will be teaching class with an 461 00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 2: MK vehicle we call Dissected, focusing on the style of 462 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:44,919 Speaker 2: one Canelo Alvarez. When the Canelo Charlo Ultimate Preview in 463 00:21:45,000 --> 00:21:56,440 Speaker 2: Morning Combat Takeover riturns Canello Charlo, the Ultimate Preview continues. 464 00:21:56,720 --> 00:21:59,440 Speaker 2: I promised he's about to teach classes Professor Salt and 465 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:03,280 Speaker 2: Pepper Luke Thomas with a dissected on the career of 466 00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:04,080 Speaker 2: Canelo Elvers. 467 00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 3: We're gonna look at a couple of fights from his BC. Now, 468 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:09,200 Speaker 3: of course, there's a broad array of fights we could pick. 469 00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,040 Speaker 3: We're gonna look at some of the showtime fights. One 470 00:22:11,080 --> 00:22:13,040 Speaker 3: a little bit older, one a little bit newer. The 471 00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 3: first one, of course, Jose Sito Lopez. Now BC, it 472 00:22:15,840 --> 00:22:18,200 Speaker 3: would be fair to say Jamal Charlow and Jamel Charlo 473 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,680 Speaker 3: neither of the Charlo brothers are exactly like Jose Cito Lopez. 474 00:22:21,680 --> 00:22:24,400 Speaker 3: They're better, they're different. But here's why this is important. 475 00:22:24,640 --> 00:22:27,320 Speaker 3: Look where they are up against the ropes. That's the 476 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:30,320 Speaker 3: key detail there. Jamel Charlo, for as good as he is, 477 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,000 Speaker 3: and he is quite gifted, often finds himself up there. 478 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:35,520 Speaker 3: So watch what Canelo does here. He jabs to push 479 00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:38,520 Speaker 3: a guy back right, pushes him back, doubles the jab, 480 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,199 Speaker 3: blinds him with the jab, then comes the uppercut. The 481 00:22:42,280 --> 00:22:45,679 Speaker 3: uppercut is just a decoy so he can throw that 482 00:22:45,840 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 3: left hook right to the body and it actually does 483 00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,760 Speaker 3: super bad damage and sends Lopez crashing to the canvas. 484 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:55,520 Speaker 3: Watch him use his ability BC to cut off the 485 00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 3: ring with stan switches. He parries the jab off, lowers 486 00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,320 Speaker 3: his level. Lopez sees it, and of course he fires 487 00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:05,160 Speaker 3: the right hand. Lopez moves to the back foot here. 488 00:23:05,440 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 3: But now watch Canlo, He's going to take a step 489 00:23:07,480 --> 00:23:11,080 Speaker 3: forward into south. Paul continues to blind him, brings the 490 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:15,480 Speaker 3: guard up and then of course resets goes back to 491 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 3: his stance. But look at where Lopez is, right up 492 00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:20,520 Speaker 3: against the ropes. He's got nowhere to go BC. So 493 00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,760 Speaker 3: Canelo is about to go on the attack. 494 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:23,719 Speaker 1: Here he is. 495 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,040 Speaker 3: He jabs, pushes him back one more time. Uppercut. What 496 00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:29,960 Speaker 3: do you think is gonna come right behind it? Bang 497 00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:34,000 Speaker 3: right to the liver. It's his famous signature punch. The 498 00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:36,879 Speaker 3: uppercut is just a decoy to set up for the 499 00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 3: left hands. 500 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 2: There maybe a younger big Red, but that one punch 501 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 2: out to the body is still in play at all times. 502 00:23:41,880 --> 00:23:43,640 Speaker 3: No doubt about it. And this is something we'll see 503 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,040 Speaker 3: later in the Charlow dissected. A lot of his opponents 504 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:49,520 Speaker 3: hit this on him, so you might have to see 505 00:23:49,520 --> 00:23:52,560 Speaker 3: this later on. We will find out September thirtieth. And 506 00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:54,879 Speaker 3: of course he goes crashing and then just watch the 507 00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:59,080 Speaker 3: flurry here jab, double jab to the body up top, uppercut, 508 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:01,880 Speaker 3: another one to the over the top, and it sends 509 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,360 Speaker 3: him crashing when. 510 00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:03,840 Speaker 1: He wants to. 511 00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,280 Speaker 3: He moves downhill. On guys, there's just not much they 512 00:24:07,320 --> 00:24:10,560 Speaker 3: can do now. This is my favorite. We were at 513 00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:13,920 Speaker 3: this one. This is Caleb Plant from twenty to twenty one. Now, 514 00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,040 Speaker 3: Caleb Plant is a very different fighter than Jamel Charlow, 515 00:24:17,040 --> 00:24:19,440 Speaker 3: but there will be some meaningful overlap. Again, where are 516 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,040 Speaker 3: they right up against the ropes? This is going to 517 00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 3: be important. Pay attention to this beautiful uppercut from Canelo Alvarez. 518 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,360 Speaker 3: Canelo's got a great job. We saw the left hook 519 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,119 Speaker 3: to the body. Watch this right uppercut and how he 520 00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,240 Speaker 3: sets it up. It is all started. There is a 521 00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 3: job right here. You can see it from Plant. Canelo 522 00:24:40,119 --> 00:24:43,879 Speaker 3: parries it, lowers his level, gets another jab out of Plant, 523 00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:47,000 Speaker 3: and watch him. He's going to leap into this left hook. 524 00:24:47,080 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 3: This is the problem with this Philly shell. You've only 525 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:53,080 Speaker 3: got one hand here. You kinda gonna get two. He doesn't, 526 00:24:53,119 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 3: so watch Bow cracks him right. 527 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,800 Speaker 1: He even leaves his feet. 528 00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:01,120 Speaker 3: Look at Canelo not even on the ground BC, and 529 00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:02,560 Speaker 3: that sends him tumbling. 530 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: This is where it gets good. Watch this. 531 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:09,919 Speaker 3: He backs up, Canelo pushes him off. Plant is gonna 532 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 3: put his weight here to kind of stabilize himself because 533 00:25:12,720 --> 00:25:14,000 Speaker 3: he's been hit with a big shot. 534 00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:17,160 Speaker 1: Canelo is gonna bring this right hand back. 535 00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:21,400 Speaker 3: Watch this just like this, and you see he knows 536 00:25:21,400 --> 00:25:23,199 Speaker 3: that the right hand is cocked, but he doesn't know 537 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 3: which way it's going. Plus he's ricocheted back. Now he's 538 00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,920 Speaker 3: moving forward. He's gonna bend at the waist thinking it's 539 00:25:29,920 --> 00:25:31,040 Speaker 3: gonna come around. 540 00:25:30,760 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: Here, but it doesn't. BC. It goes right. 541 00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:39,760 Speaker 3: There, catches him as he's moving into it, and folks, 542 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:45,160 Speaker 3: that is all she wrote. One of my absolute favorite shots. 543 00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 3: Canelo Alvarez a power puncher, a hunter along the rope line, 544 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,000 Speaker 3: tons of setups, tons of different weapons. We saw him 545 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,880 Speaker 3: go left hook upstairs in the Lopez fight, left hook downstairs. 546 00:25:56,960 --> 00:25:59,879 Speaker 2: He's a technician, but deceptively physical when he needs to 547 00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:02,520 Speaker 2: set up his attack. He love the little sly work 548 00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:04,400 Speaker 2: on the inside to be the bigger man in there. 549 00:26:04,520 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 2: Maybe he's not the tallest, but the girth, the strength 550 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,199 Speaker 2: that he walks around with, it's a. 551 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,840 Speaker 3: Factor, no doubt about it. And again, go back to 552 00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,960 Speaker 3: the right handed uppercut. Here in the first fight we 553 00:26:12,080 --> 00:26:14,760 Speaker 3: showed you with Lopez, he was landing it, but it 554 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 3: wasn't really a hard punch. 555 00:26:15,760 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: It was only so he could get to the angle. 556 00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:22,400 Speaker 3: This time it was the finisher, so power in either hand. Right, 557 00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:24,480 Speaker 3: he can do whatever he wants to in terms of 558 00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:25,520 Speaker 3: knocking an opponent out. 559 00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:26,719 Speaker 1: He's got the power to do it. 560 00:26:26,800 --> 00:26:29,520 Speaker 3: And one hand can be a decoy, the other hand 561 00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:30,760 Speaker 3: can be a decoy, and. 562 00:26:30,880 --> 00:26:32,920 Speaker 1: All of it happens along the rope line. 563 00:26:32,920 --> 00:26:35,320 Speaker 3: This is why in the Keys to Victory we're going 564 00:26:35,400 --> 00:26:36,320 Speaker 3: to talk about it BC. 565 00:26:36,800 --> 00:26:37,960 Speaker 1: There's just no way. 566 00:26:37,800 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 3: You can have a conversation about this fight without some 567 00:26:40,680 --> 00:26:44,920 Speaker 3: kind of conversation about the real estate and up against 568 00:26:44,920 --> 00:26:45,560 Speaker 3: the rope line. 569 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:47,520 Speaker 1: We'll look at more of this from Dremal Charlo later, 570 00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:48,160 Speaker 1: but it. 571 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 3: Could be a big problem for him if Canelo is 572 00:26:50,200 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 3: the one pressing him and you can see all the 573 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:53,920 Speaker 3: magic he has in those positions. 574 00:26:54,040 --> 00:26:56,600 Speaker 2: So I love about the Charlo fight is blank can move. 575 00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 2: Maybe he didn't have the firepower to hurt Canelo. Jermel 576 00:27:00,200 --> 00:27:03,760 Speaker 2: Charlo does. And when we return on the Ultimate Preview, 577 00:27:04,119 --> 00:27:09,000 Speaker 2: Charlo versus Canello, Canelo versus Charlo so much at stake, 578 00:27:09,040 --> 00:27:12,200 Speaker 2: We're going to look exactly at Jermel Charlo's game from 579 00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:15,160 Speaker 2: the inside out, dissected. We're going to break it all down. 580 00:27:15,240 --> 00:27:19,520 Speaker 2: The Morning Combat Takeover continues here on CBS Sports Network 581 00:27:19,760 --> 00:27:31,920 Speaker 2: We'll be right back. All things Canello Charlo had a 582 00:27:31,920 --> 00:27:34,800 Speaker 2: Saturday super fight on Showtime pay per view and under 583 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:39,600 Speaker 2: the microscope now dissected form is Jermel Charlo, the undisputed 584 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,520 Speaker 2: champion at one fifty four but Luke Thomas moving up 585 00:27:42,520 --> 00:27:45,159 Speaker 2: to weight divisions but brings a lot of talent, speed 586 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:46,680 Speaker 2: and power along with him. 587 00:27:46,920 --> 00:27:49,880 Speaker 1: His game is simple, but it's not easy to beat. 588 00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,800 Speaker 1: He really is. All roads lead to his lead hand. 589 00:27:54,119 --> 00:27:57,879 Speaker 3: That is where the vast majority of Jamel Charlo's offense 590 00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:58,239 Speaker 3: comes from. 591 00:27:58,280 --> 00:27:59,840 Speaker 1: He's got a great job, as we all know. 592 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,040 Speaker 3: Now. He doesn't use it so much as much as 593 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:05,040 Speaker 3: he maybe should, but when he does, it's highly effective. 594 00:28:05,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 3: And of course the left hook one of the best 595 00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:10,879 Speaker 3: left hookers in the game. Here, we're gonna look at 596 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 3: three different fights. This is the Tony Harrison rematch. Now 597 00:28:14,920 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 3: I'm going to say it again if you go back 598 00:28:16,280 --> 00:28:19,200 Speaker 3: and watch this one, Harrison was winning this nah if 599 00:28:19,240 --> 00:28:22,639 Speaker 3: by a wide margin, pretty close to it, but the power, 600 00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:26,680 Speaker 3: the speed Jermeal Charlo once again showing what happens when 601 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,320 Speaker 3: BC when Tony is locked. 602 00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:31,600 Speaker 1: Up like this and just kind of rolling. He couldn't 603 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:34,040 Speaker 1: unlock it. He couldn't open the door. But when he 604 00:28:34,119 --> 00:28:36,280 Speaker 1: got him to punch with him, he could. 605 00:28:36,400 --> 00:28:39,680 Speaker 3: The other factor is before he might have doubled up 606 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,600 Speaker 3: on the left hook, he would go body head, but 607 00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: he didn't change elevation. 608 00:28:43,320 --> 00:28:46,240 Speaker 1: Watch what happens when he does. He is going to 609 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,080 Speaker 1: go low. 610 00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:50,680 Speaker 3: Harrison's going to meet him, and he's going to fire 611 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: a left hook. 612 00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,560 Speaker 1: To the body. 613 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,880 Speaker 3: Harrison thinks it's going to be done, but he comes 614 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:59,120 Speaker 3: up with it. They're both punching at the same time. 615 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 3: He eats the punch, but then he cracks Harrison. So 616 00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 3: it was something of a fifty to fifty one more time. 617 00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,360 Speaker 3: Go back and watch this if you can greets them here. 618 00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:12,480 Speaker 3: He does not respond. He's waiting to catch him a 619 00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:14,120 Speaker 3: little bit higher up top. 620 00:29:14,760 --> 00:29:15,440 Speaker 1: Just like this. 621 00:29:15,960 --> 00:29:18,480 Speaker 3: But then now he has punched, and this is the 622 00:29:18,560 --> 00:29:22,360 Speaker 3: exact moment he's open and power for power. Harrison simply 623 00:29:22,600 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: had no answer for it. This is the one speed 624 00:29:24,760 --> 00:29:26,840 Speaker 3: is power, and you have to guess JR. Mel Charlo 625 00:29:26,960 --> 00:29:29,080 Speaker 3: coming up and wait from the lower way classes. It's 626 00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:31,960 Speaker 3: gonna have that speed advantage, particularly the feet, yes, but 627 00:29:32,040 --> 00:29:33,520 Speaker 3: also in the hands against Canelo. 628 00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:34,520 Speaker 1: No doubt about it. So there he is. 629 00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:37,240 Speaker 3: He sends him back stumbling, and ultimately that's what closed 630 00:29:37,320 --> 00:29:39,720 Speaker 3: the show. Here's the Jason Rosario fight. By the way, 631 00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:41,280 Speaker 3: you go back and watch this. What's the first punch 632 00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,800 Speaker 3: he landed in this fight? Do you remember no body jab? 633 00:29:44,160 --> 00:29:46,400 Speaker 3: What's the last punch he landed? I remember that one, 634 00:29:46,480 --> 00:29:48,719 Speaker 3: that one body jab. Take a look at this one. 635 00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,440 Speaker 3: It doesn't look like much. He's gonna punch up top 636 00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 3: to get of course, Banana's hands, that's his name, Banana. 637 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,240 Speaker 3: Bring his hands up there and then he's just gonna 638 00:29:57,240 --> 00:30:00,640 Speaker 3: go right to the body. Pop there. It is, bang, 639 00:30:01,280 --> 00:30:02,960 Speaker 3: just like that, and it's People might say, all, what 640 00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 3: about the belt line? It's mostly above the belt line. 641 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:06,640 Speaker 3: It looks to me like a legal shot. And you 642 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 3: could see he's kind of gritting and you know, really 643 00:30:09,720 --> 00:30:12,240 Speaker 3: biting into the mouthpiece as he does it, and it 644 00:30:12,440 --> 00:30:16,520 Speaker 3: just collapses him, sends him crashing to the mat. Now, 645 00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:18,560 Speaker 3: this is my favorite one BC, if I can just 646 00:30:18,640 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 3: be honest with you. This is the Brian Castano rematch. 647 00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:24,040 Speaker 3: We saw the left hook against Tony Harrison, we saw 648 00:30:24,080 --> 00:30:25,960 Speaker 3: the jab against Rosario. 649 00:30:26,240 --> 00:30:28,600 Speaker 1: Let's bring back that left hook here. 650 00:30:28,640 --> 00:30:32,520 Speaker 3: We had a case where Castano was all over him. 651 00:30:32,560 --> 00:30:34,160 Speaker 1: He could not escape so there's. 652 00:30:33,960 --> 00:30:36,920 Speaker 3: Tons of lateral movement, there's tons of jabbing that's going involved. 653 00:30:37,240 --> 00:30:39,000 Speaker 3: But the way in which he was able to really 654 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:41,600 Speaker 3: make effective use of the left hand was up against 655 00:30:41,600 --> 00:30:43,960 Speaker 3: the ropes. He would kind of invite that pressure, but 656 00:30:44,040 --> 00:30:48,240 Speaker 3: that would bring him into range and he would duel 657 00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:51,920 Speaker 3: with him. Guys, if you're one hundred and fifty four pounds, 658 00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:55,480 Speaker 3: don't duel with him. He's gonna win every time. It 659 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,960 Speaker 3: consistently happens over and over again. So let's watch this sequence. 660 00:31:00,200 --> 00:31:02,400 Speaker 3: This is the left hand that finally gets it done. 661 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,120 Speaker 3: They're fighting in close succession. 662 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 2: Here. 663 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:06,400 Speaker 1: You can see them wrapping up on one side. 664 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,560 Speaker 3: Charlo's gonna excuse me, Charlo is going to as I 665 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,640 Speaker 3: show you the arrow here, he's going to fire this 666 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,680 Speaker 3: right hand to the body just like this boom kind 667 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:18,560 Speaker 3: of goes around and then the left hand is going 668 00:31:18,600 --> 00:31:20,760 Speaker 3: to come up top. And this is my favorite part 669 00:31:20,800 --> 00:31:24,720 Speaker 3: about this punch. PC Castano sees it coming. He's actually 670 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:28,120 Speaker 3: bracing for it. Look at how outside it is here. 671 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:32,959 Speaker 3: Watch how narrow the path ends up becoming to go 672 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: right to the target. 673 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: Watch this. Look at this short left hook. 674 00:31:37,480 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 3: His arm is barely his fist is barely away from 675 00:31:40,680 --> 00:31:43,680 Speaker 3: his shoulder, and he generates enough power not to go 676 00:31:43,880 --> 00:31:47,640 Speaker 3: around the glove to come inside of it catches him, 677 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:51,480 Speaker 3: and that of course sends him sitting Chilie canvas. 678 00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:55,520 Speaker 2: Tarlo's unique. He's an educated action fighter. He brings technique 679 00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 2: to explosive situations hard to prepare for, can throw from 680 00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:01,680 Speaker 2: different angles that come nation of speed and power. I'm 681 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,680 Speaker 2: not sure Canelo has fought somebody exactly like this in 682 00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,320 Speaker 2: this package are very unique offensive fight. 683 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:07,959 Speaker 3: And the thing is we talk about the fact that 684 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:10,960 Speaker 3: he doesn't have enough offense in certain situations, and that's true. 685 00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:11,360 Speaker 1: By the way. 686 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,680 Speaker 3: He's stepping into this punch, so that has to help 687 00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 3: lions only by the way. But the point I want 688 00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:18,840 Speaker 3: to make is because he is so reserved against the ropes, 689 00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:22,360 Speaker 3: sometimes that can work against him, that's true. But other 690 00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:24,600 Speaker 3: times what it does is it brings guys into that 691 00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:27,400 Speaker 3: jeweling I was talking about, because they're like, oh, he's 692 00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:29,560 Speaker 3: just standing there covering up. Well, let me just tee 693 00:32:29,560 --> 00:32:32,360 Speaker 3: off on him. Okay, do that at your own peril. 694 00:32:32,560 --> 00:32:35,120 Speaker 3: Do that at your own peril. That is exactly how 695 00:32:35,160 --> 00:32:38,680 Speaker 3: this guy became the undisputed champion one hundred and fifty 696 00:32:38,680 --> 00:32:41,560 Speaker 3: four pounds. People didn't take his power seriously. They thought 697 00:32:41,560 --> 00:32:44,840 Speaker 3: he was too defensive, and every one of them ended 698 00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:45,600 Speaker 3: up paying. 699 00:32:45,360 --> 00:32:47,960 Speaker 1: For it in the end. That is the Jamel Charlow experience. 700 00:32:48,080 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 2: Who Jamel Charlow put it all together for this moment, 701 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:54,560 Speaker 2: the biggest fight of his career. I can only find 702 00:32:54,600 --> 00:32:57,720 Speaker 2: out Saturday night Team Obareena in Las Vegas what that 703 00:32:57,840 --> 00:33:01,280 Speaker 2: result will be. But what can we return here on 704 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:05,320 Speaker 2: Morning Combat's Takeover on CBS Sports Network and all Things 705 00:33:05,440 --> 00:33:09,160 Speaker 2: Canelo Charlo the Ultimate Preview, We're gonna go behind the numbers, 706 00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:11,960 Speaker 2: see recent trends where they stack up copy box wise. 707 00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:14,920 Speaker 2: But more importantly, we are going to provide keys to 708 00:33:15,080 --> 00:33:18,640 Speaker 2: victory to both fighters. Don't miss it. We'll be right 709 00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:27,280 Speaker 2: back after this. Your Morning Combat Takeover continues just days 710 00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,640 Speaker 2: away from the biggest fight of the fall season, Canelo 711 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: versus Charlo on Showtime pay per view, And it's time 712 00:33:32,920 --> 00:33:35,240 Speaker 2: now to go inside the numbers and look at the 713 00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:38,360 Speaker 2: keys to victory for both fighters. As we get closer 714 00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,480 Speaker 2: to this four belt showdown at one hundred and sixty 715 00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:43,920 Speaker 2: eight pounds, Luke, you'll take the reigning and defending champion, 716 00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:46,880 Speaker 2: the superstar Canelo Alvarez. What should you be focused on 717 00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,400 Speaker 2: in terms of keys to victory for this? 718 00:33:48,520 --> 00:33:50,800 Speaker 3: I mean, partly it's gonna be offense. Partly it's gonna 719 00:33:50,800 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 3: be the right kinds of defense. Let's talk about the 720 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:56,000 Speaker 3: big offensive part that I think will define this fight. 721 00:33:56,120 --> 00:33:58,480 Speaker 3: Number One, he's got to push Charlo back to the ropes. 722 00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:02,000 Speaker 3: Charlo gives up space very easily. He has a lot 723 00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:04,280 Speaker 3: of great qualities, but that would not be one of them. 724 00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:08,040 Speaker 3: Many opponents have pushed him back without necessarily a ton 725 00:34:08,080 --> 00:34:11,919 Speaker 3: of effort to get there. So Canelo has experience doing 726 00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,080 Speaker 3: that and is very lethal there and it works well 727 00:34:14,120 --> 00:34:14,720 Speaker 3: against Charlow. 728 00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:16,239 Speaker 1: You got to push him up against the ropes. That's 729 00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:16,640 Speaker 1: number one. 730 00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,040 Speaker 3: Number Two, you got to keep that right hand up 731 00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:21,960 Speaker 3: BC because that left hook is coming. 732 00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:25,400 Speaker 1: We don't know exactly how Charlo's power will. 733 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 3: Translate at one hundred and sixty eight pounds against the 734 00:34:27,200 --> 00:34:29,600 Speaker 3: guy we told you has a legendary chin. Maybe it 735 00:34:29,640 --> 00:34:31,920 Speaker 3: won't make a big difference. Maybe it will hard to say, 736 00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:34,040 Speaker 3: but you don't even want to risk it. It's his 737 00:34:34,160 --> 00:34:36,799 Speaker 3: best punch, it's his winning punch. It is why he 738 00:34:36,920 --> 00:34:39,360 Speaker 3: is here. You must be careful about it. And the 739 00:34:39,480 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 3: last thing I'm going to say is something Canelo is 740 00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:44,040 Speaker 3: very good at, which is keep it funky, keep it. 741 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: He doesn't do crazy things. 742 00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:49,400 Speaker 3: But what I mean is constantly giving different looks, different setups, 743 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,239 Speaker 3: different ways to approach. He's got his guard here, He'll 744 00:34:52,239 --> 00:34:54,160 Speaker 3: have a bit of a lazy guard down here. He'll 745 00:34:54,160 --> 00:34:56,440 Speaker 3: have his head moving going a certain way, kind of 746 00:34:56,520 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: keeping a guy like Charlow who doesn't throw a ton 747 00:34:59,239 --> 00:35:02,800 Speaker 3: of offense on his toes, not knowing what to expect, 748 00:35:03,040 --> 00:35:06,240 Speaker 3: not getting in wild exchanges with him, giving him different looks, 749 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,600 Speaker 3: giving him different views, making him somewhat hesitant to throw, 750 00:35:11,040 --> 00:35:14,880 Speaker 3: and that opens the door for a very creative offensive 751 00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,000 Speaker 3: mind in the way that Canelo Alvarez is. 752 00:35:17,040 --> 00:35:19,960 Speaker 2: No doubt, and Canelo one of the greatest artists in 753 00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:22,120 Speaker 2: that regard. Remember what he did against Callum Smith in 754 00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:24,440 Speaker 2: that high guard and their super middleweight title punching the arm, 755 00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:27,359 Speaker 2: beating up the arms until he caused an injury. Incredible. 756 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 2: When I talk about Charlow's keys to victory, I look 757 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 2: more on perfecting the simple basic things against Canelo than 758 00:35:33,800 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 2: trying to do too much. And number one, I think 759 00:35:36,080 --> 00:35:39,480 Speaker 2: it's pretty obvious. Jab jab jab if there is some 760 00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,560 Speaker 2: level of a playbook or cliffs notes on how to 761 00:35:42,600 --> 00:35:45,440 Speaker 2: give Canelo trouble, well, you need certain physical attributes to 762 00:35:45,480 --> 00:35:47,440 Speaker 2: do that. But a big part of that is keeping 763 00:35:47,480 --> 00:35:49,440 Speaker 2: the jab in his face, not only to control the 764 00:35:49,480 --> 00:35:55,759 Speaker 2: distant Canelo from having easier destructive countershots, particularly the body inclose, 765 00:35:56,160 --> 00:35:59,120 Speaker 2: but really you want to outwork him. Canelo has gotten 766 00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:01,920 Speaker 2: the benefit of the doubt traditionally from judges on the 767 00:36:01,920 --> 00:36:06,239 Speaker 2: scorecards and does that very efficiently, judiciously without throwing a 768 00:36:06,280 --> 00:36:09,320 Speaker 2: ton of punches. Just making those punches count, you're always 769 00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 2: going to be in a deficit in that regard against him. 770 00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:15,120 Speaker 2: High volume is a key part of that, but obviously 771 00:36:15,239 --> 00:36:17,000 Speaker 2: using that jab as a weapon. And number two, I 772 00:36:17,000 --> 00:36:18,560 Speaker 2: think you combine it with the jab and it's the 773 00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:21,400 Speaker 2: idea of make Canelo chase. It's going to be the 774 00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,680 Speaker 2: footwork that wins this in the end. For Jamal Charlo, 775 00:36:23,760 --> 00:36:25,640 Speaker 2: so some people think the chin and I respect that 776 00:36:25,840 --> 00:36:28,399 Speaker 2: with him moving up two weight divisions, but the one 777 00:36:28,560 --> 00:36:31,360 Speaker 2: key that a fighter I believe can take advantage against 778 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:34,840 Speaker 2: against Canelo, especially an athlete like Charlo, is in the 779 00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:38,040 Speaker 2: standpoint of having quicker feet. Canelo has mastered the ability 780 00:36:38,080 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 2: to offset his lack of speed, particularly when he was 781 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:42,719 Speaker 2: in the lower weight classes at one fifty four, with 782 00:36:42,840 --> 00:36:45,960 Speaker 2: his timing and also his incredible chunk movement. But if 783 00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,719 Speaker 2: I'm Charlo, I certainly want to get in land something 784 00:36:48,760 --> 00:36:50,799 Speaker 2: of authority and gain his respect. But I want to 785 00:36:50,800 --> 00:36:52,279 Speaker 2: make him chase at times. I want to make him 786 00:36:52,360 --> 00:36:53,920 Speaker 2: use some of that energy and get out of his 787 00:36:54,040 --> 00:36:57,200 Speaker 2: comfort zone. But number three is really a point where 788 00:36:57,200 --> 00:37:00,120 Speaker 2: everybody hits against the great Canelo. Few can take it 789 00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,480 Speaker 2: and rise above. But if Charlo's got the chance, he's 790 00:37:02,480 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 2: got to go for it, and that is certainly his 791 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 2: style to do that. We've seen him come from behind 792 00:37:07,239 --> 00:37:10,680 Speaker 2: rally get late knockouts against Tony Harrison and Brian Costano 793 00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,960 Speaker 2: after breaking them down. But Charlo is, in my opinion, 794 00:37:14,000 --> 00:37:16,960 Speaker 2: perfectly suited for what it would take to beat Canelo, 795 00:37:17,239 --> 00:37:19,520 Speaker 2: and you're gonna have to be big in the moment 796 00:37:19,560 --> 00:37:21,720 Speaker 2: to be true. Beeval recently was able to beat Canelo, 797 00:37:21,880 --> 00:37:23,920 Speaker 2: but he did it more with fundamentals and a size 798 00:37:23,960 --> 00:37:27,040 Speaker 2: advantage right there. Charlo may not have that exact advantage 799 00:37:27,080 --> 00:37:29,920 Speaker 2: moving up two divisions, but can he in the moment 800 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:33,480 Speaker 2: when it matters use activity, Yes, but land big shots 801 00:37:33,480 --> 00:37:36,680 Speaker 2: of confidence consequence. If I'm Charlo, I have to be 802 00:37:36,719 --> 00:37:39,200 Speaker 2: committed knowing that I can get knocked out with a 803 00:37:39,200 --> 00:37:42,120 Speaker 2: big counter shot, because that's the only chance really to 804 00:37:42,200 --> 00:37:44,120 Speaker 2: win it. You're gonna have to outwork Canelo, but you're 805 00:37:44,120 --> 00:37:46,600 Speaker 2: gonna have to outdare him in the biggest moments. And 806 00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:49,600 Speaker 2: I do believe Charlo has the firepower to at least 807 00:37:49,719 --> 00:37:52,400 Speaker 2: make Canelo honest in this fight. We don't really know 808 00:37:52,440 --> 00:37:54,960 Speaker 2: how that size difference is actually going to equate from 809 00:37:54,960 --> 00:37:57,120 Speaker 2: the chin down to the fist power, but you have 810 00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,440 Speaker 2: to believe if you're Canelo, You've got to respect the 811 00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:00,640 Speaker 2: firepower that's coming back at you. 812 00:38:00,800 --> 00:38:02,600 Speaker 3: It would be foolish to not do that. Also, one 813 00:38:02,600 --> 00:38:04,200 Speaker 3: more thing to keep in mind, no matter which way 814 00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,319 Speaker 3: you lean for keys to victory, here it is. 815 00:38:06,239 --> 00:38:07,000 Speaker 1: In Las Vegas. 816 00:38:07,040 --> 00:38:10,480 Speaker 3: Canelo Alvarez has traditionally done well in Las Vegas. The 817 00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:13,200 Speaker 3: judges seemed to favor his style, and we talked before 818 00:38:13,239 --> 00:38:15,680 Speaker 3: about how Charlo has the clutch gene, which is true. 819 00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:18,000 Speaker 3: But one thing that is also true about his fights 820 00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,640 Speaker 3: is that sometimes there will be a lot of rounds 821 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:22,640 Speaker 3: I go by he's not winning. He cannot afford to 822 00:38:22,640 --> 00:38:24,920 Speaker 3: give up rounds against a guy like Canelo. He has 823 00:38:24,960 --> 00:38:27,359 Speaker 3: to put as much volume as he reasonably can if 824 00:38:27,400 --> 00:38:28,600 Speaker 3: he wants to get his hand raised. 825 00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:31,040 Speaker 2: And Canelo is one of the most accurate punchers in 826 00:38:31,080 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 2: this game. If you're going to try to be too 827 00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:35,560 Speaker 2: selective with him, he's going to typically land more when 828 00:38:35,560 --> 00:38:38,759 Speaker 2: you look at the CompuBox numbers over his career. But 829 00:38:38,880 --> 00:38:42,600 Speaker 2: when we return, the Ultimate Preview continues in its final 830 00:38:42,640 --> 00:38:46,040 Speaker 2: prediction time who wins Canello Versus Charlo? Be right back 831 00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:56,480 Speaker 2: and find out it's Canelo versus Charlo Undisputed versus Undisputed 832 00:38:56,480 --> 00:38:59,480 Speaker 2: this Saturday on Showtime pay per View time though for 833 00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,080 Speaker 2: per day, let's find out who wins and why and 834 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,319 Speaker 2: Luke Thomas before we get there. One thing I want 835 00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:06,840 Speaker 2: to say, coming off of our earlier talk about the styles. 836 00:39:07,120 --> 00:39:09,520 Speaker 2: If there's been any criticism of Charlo, it's been at 837 00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,440 Speaker 2: times being too selective, not throwing enough. He has talked 838 00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:16,399 Speaker 2: about coming out and really making the jab a such 839 00:39:16,400 --> 00:39:20,840 Speaker 2: a key part of this. If he doesn't out throw Canelo, 840 00:39:20,880 --> 00:39:21,799 Speaker 2: does he have a chance to win this? 841 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,799 Speaker 1: His chances go down dramatically if he doesn't. I'll say 842 00:39:25,800 --> 00:39:27,120 Speaker 1: that I mean he always has a chance. 843 00:39:27,160 --> 00:39:29,640 Speaker 3: Again, we're talking about a guy who's a spectacular fighter, 844 00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:34,399 Speaker 3: but if he is apportioning his offense too little round 845 00:39:34,400 --> 00:39:37,440 Speaker 3: by round, that will really hurt his chances. 846 00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:39,919 Speaker 1: So I actually can't wait to see this fight. 847 00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:42,200 Speaker 3: I mean, you look at Charlo's game and you think 848 00:39:42,680 --> 00:39:45,279 Speaker 3: it's a somewhat of a simple game, but it's not 849 00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:47,800 Speaker 3: an easy game to beat. Don't let the simplicity fool 850 00:39:47,800 --> 00:39:51,040 Speaker 3: you again. The simplicity makes it actually more difficult because 851 00:39:51,040 --> 00:39:54,480 Speaker 3: of how much he has mastered the fundamentals. And I 852 00:39:54,560 --> 00:39:57,960 Speaker 3: recognize BC that Canelo is not necessarily the Canelo at 853 00:39:58,000 --> 00:40:01,879 Speaker 3: twenty eight who fought you know previously and looked tremendous 854 00:40:02,239 --> 00:40:05,000 Speaker 3: in the ways he did against Danny Jacobs. Nevertheless, I'm 855 00:40:05,000 --> 00:40:07,480 Speaker 3: gonna side with Canelo by decision on this one. 856 00:40:07,480 --> 00:40:07,839 Speaker 1: B See. 857 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:09,680 Speaker 3: The reason I'm going to say that is because I 858 00:40:09,719 --> 00:40:12,040 Speaker 3: think Charlo can make it competitive. I think Charlo can 859 00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:16,880 Speaker 3: hurt Canelo. But the creativity of Canelo, having seen so 860 00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:20,360 Speaker 3: many different styles before and body types, even if he 861 00:40:20,520 --> 00:40:23,640 Speaker 3: is somewhat longer in the tooth, I still think that 862 00:40:23,719 --> 00:40:26,719 Speaker 3: creativity is going to lift him to victory. Charlo will 863 00:40:26,719 --> 00:40:29,040 Speaker 3: make it interesting Canelo will get his hand raised well. 864 00:40:29,200 --> 00:40:31,759 Speaker 2: Certainly no shortage of superstars in the corners of these 865 00:40:31,800 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 2: two fighters. When we're talking about Eddie Renoso for Canelo Alvarez, 866 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:37,360 Speaker 2: a perennial Trainer of the Year contender and typically the 867 00:40:37,360 --> 00:40:39,959 Speaker 2: guy he's competing against his Dereck James in the corner 868 00:40:40,000 --> 00:40:42,240 Speaker 2: of Jamel Charlow. But I don't think we can discount 869 00:40:42,320 --> 00:40:44,080 Speaker 2: the work of a guy who's been in and out 870 00:40:44,080 --> 00:40:45,960 Speaker 2: of the Charlo corner in recent years, but it's now 871 00:40:46,000 --> 00:40:48,799 Speaker 2: taking more of a co trainer or secondary trainer role, 872 00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:52,000 Speaker 2: and that's former world champion Joan Guzman thirty four one 873 00:40:52,040 --> 00:40:54,600 Speaker 2: to one as a pro two division world title holder. 874 00:40:54,840 --> 00:40:57,080 Speaker 2: If you go back and watch, I think baby Tyson 875 00:40:57,120 --> 00:40:59,640 Speaker 2: he used to call himself. He fights in a skilled 876 00:41:00,000 --> 00:41:03,200 Speaker 2: but nasty style that I have to my eyes are 877 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,480 Speaker 2: telling me Dremala is mimicking to some degree, and I think, Luke, 878 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,839 Speaker 2: that's going to be the difference if Dremal can do it, 879 00:41:08,920 --> 00:41:11,160 Speaker 2: because we are going to need to ask him to 880 00:41:11,239 --> 00:41:14,120 Speaker 2: do two things at the same time. One use that 881 00:41:14,120 --> 00:41:16,040 Speaker 2: footwork like I talked about, and get in and out 882 00:41:16,080 --> 00:41:19,319 Speaker 2: and hit and not get hit. But two land something 883 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,160 Speaker 2: of consequence in close quarters and be able to use 884 00:41:22,200 --> 00:41:25,680 Speaker 2: your size to stand up to the seemingly bigger Canelo. 885 00:41:25,800 --> 00:41:28,000 Speaker 2: And I say seemingly because Canelo is going to be thicker. 886 00:41:28,040 --> 00:41:30,600 Speaker 2: We know that. But Canelo fights more at his walking 887 00:41:30,640 --> 00:41:32,600 Speaker 2: around weight than he does in terms of the big 888 00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:35,040 Speaker 2: weight cut, and Charlo could have a four inch height 889 00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:38,000 Speaker 2: advantage and a two and a half inch reach advantage. 890 00:41:38,840 --> 00:41:41,960 Speaker 2: Can he put on enough weight where the size difference 891 00:41:42,040 --> 00:41:44,279 Speaker 2: isn't a factor in here? I guess this is the question. 892 00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,960 Speaker 2: I'm trying to ask that it's gonna fuel my prediction, 893 00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,840 Speaker 2: but how much do you think the size difference is 894 00:41:47,880 --> 00:41:50,040 Speaker 2: a factor? Ultimately, It's gonna be really hard to say. 895 00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:52,120 Speaker 2: I mean, navigating two weight classes. People like, oh, he's 896 00:41:52,120 --> 00:41:53,640 Speaker 2: not gonna have to cut as much weight, he's gonna 897 00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,359 Speaker 2: feel better. But then you're going to be heavier, You're 898 00:41:55,400 --> 00:41:56,000 Speaker 2: gonna be slower. 899 00:41:56,040 --> 00:41:58,680 Speaker 3: It's going to change everything that you're used to about 900 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:00,520 Speaker 3: what it meant to fight in your normal weight class. 901 00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,680 Speaker 1: And how he's going to negotiate that. I don't I 902 00:42:02,680 --> 00:42:03,279 Speaker 1: don't really know. 903 00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:05,560 Speaker 3: I don't really know how he's going That's why this 904 00:42:05,600 --> 00:42:07,760 Speaker 3: is such a difficult challenge for Charlo. 905 00:42:07,880 --> 00:42:08,960 Speaker 1: I think he's up to it. 906 00:42:09,320 --> 00:42:11,120 Speaker 3: I think it's gonna make him a little bit slower, 907 00:42:11,160 --> 00:42:12,719 Speaker 3: which is gonna make him more hittable. But I think 908 00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:14,759 Speaker 3: it's gonna up his power and that might make all 909 00:42:14,800 --> 00:42:15,240 Speaker 3: the difference. 910 00:42:15,239 --> 00:42:16,440 Speaker 2: That's a key part of it. So when as I 911 00:42:16,520 --> 00:42:19,120 Speaker 2: make my prediction, it comes down to this, if Charlo 912 00:42:19,239 --> 00:42:21,640 Speaker 2: can pass the size difference, and that's that's a big if. 913 00:42:21,840 --> 00:42:23,440 Speaker 2: He's got to be able to show the chin to 914 00:42:23,480 --> 00:42:26,239 Speaker 2: deal with a pinpoint one punch counter punch or a 915 00:42:26,280 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 2: deadly one in Canelo. But I know he has that 916 00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:32,320 Speaker 2: part about him that that's not just the clutch gene, 917 00:42:32,360 --> 00:42:34,440 Speaker 2: the ability to rise in the big moment. There's a 918 00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:36,920 Speaker 2: nasty edge to dremal and I don't want to overlook 919 00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,960 Speaker 2: what we've learned in the All Access Showtime documentary series 920 00:42:40,000 --> 00:42:42,719 Speaker 2: building up here. This is a mature jermeal Charlow who 921 00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:44,360 Speaker 2: seems to have all his ducks in a row, a 922 00:42:44,400 --> 00:42:47,240 Speaker 2: fighter who maybe in the past used to rely on emotion, 923 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:49,960 Speaker 2: sometimes too much to fuel him. And maybe that's a 924 00:42:49,960 --> 00:42:52,160 Speaker 2: big part of him coming back with his back against 925 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,200 Speaker 2: the wall in big fights. But when don't see trash 926 00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 2: talk in the building year, we saw a professional preparing 927 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,520 Speaker 2: himself for a business trip, A professional coming in here 928 00:43:00,760 --> 00:43:04,040 Speaker 2: with danger, with youthfulness. Yes, they're the same age, but 929 00:43:04,120 --> 00:43:06,200 Speaker 2: the mileage on the two of them is much different. 930 00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,399 Speaker 2: We got to answer the size difference, yes, if you're 931 00:43:08,400 --> 00:43:10,680 Speaker 2: a dremal fan, and you've got to answer the part 932 00:43:10,719 --> 00:43:13,279 Speaker 2: that he's been offered almost two years. But at the 933 00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:16,000 Speaker 2: end of the day, I think he does have the 934 00:43:16,040 --> 00:43:19,680 Speaker 2: blueprint and the skills to get this done. I don't 935 00:43:19,719 --> 00:43:22,160 Speaker 2: think Canelo is gonna get older overnight, and I do 936 00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,799 Speaker 2: think he'll bounce back better than maybe how he's looked 937 00:43:24,800 --> 00:43:26,800 Speaker 2: with that left hand injury in his last three fights. 938 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:29,279 Speaker 2: But I also think this might be the time for 939 00:43:29,360 --> 00:43:31,839 Speaker 2: Charlo to get it done. Give me Jermeal, charlow By 940 00:43:31,920 --> 00:43:36,000 Speaker 2: upset decision by outworking the great one well Big Red 941 00:43:36,160 --> 00:43:39,640 Speaker 2: Canelo alpharedd only on Showtime pay per View this Saturday 942 00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:41,719 Speaker 2: from Las Vegas.
