It’s the kind of encounter that a lot of fans have been wanting to see for quite some time. Now, they’ll get their wish, as we prepare to see it go down in Las Vegas.

When Canelo Alvarez is feeling as defiant as he seemed to be here, that’s a scary prospect for whoever is stepping into the squared circle with him. Jermell Charlo is an incredible talent in his own right and his chances of victory should be taken very seriously, but if the Mexican sensation shows up at his best, it’ll take an unbelievable effort for Charlo to stop him.
