1. I favor Canelo.

He has more experience at the "big dance," and usually does very well. He is the naturally heavier man, used to fighting much bigger opponents. His body punches are intense, and he often follows them up with rapid, accurate combinations. He has learned how not to waste energy, allowing him to be better in the late rounds, compared to early in his legendary career.

However, Charlo is a very good fighter. Too early to say if he rates as great, but he is on that route. Though he is moving up in weight, that may be easierfor him than it is for Canelo to come down. He is very confident.

That's a quicj review. The co-feature is going on now. Glad I thought to check here and see your OP!

My son ran in one of those crazy 30+ mile races with 30 obsticals today in another state. I let him use my car -- his is in the garage. I haven't heard from him, and so won't be going to his place to watch it.
