Well, lemme tell ya somethin’, folks. You know Saul “Canelo” Alvarez, right? That feller’s been around for a long time. Big name in the boxing world, ya can’t hardly go anywhere without hearin’ his name. On September 30, 2023, Canelo stepped into the ring with Jermell Charlo, and let me tell ya, it was somethin’ else! Folks were all talkin’ about it, callin’ it the fight of the year. They were callin’ it “Undisputed vs. Undisputed” ’cause both of ’em were champions in their weight classes, and everybody was wonderin’ who’d come out on top.
Now, I ain’t no expert on all them fancy boxin’ terms, but I can tell ya this much: it was a good ol’ fashioned slugfest. Canelo, he’s been around the block a few times, fightin’ the best of the best. He already had them super middleweight belts, and this fight was to defend ’em. Charlo, he was a bit younger, but he was still a tough cookie, undefeated up to that point. The whole fight had people talkin’. Some folks thought Canelo might be past his prime, but boy, did he show ’em wrong!
The fight started out slow, real careful-like. Both of ‘em were just feelin’ each other out at first, but after a few rounds, Canelo started takin’ control. He backed Charlo up, kept him on the ropes. You could see it in his eyes, Canelo was ready to prove somethin’. He wasn’t goin’ down easy. By the time they hit the later rounds, it was pretty clear who was runnin’ the show. Canelo didn’t just win, he dominated.
Now, let me tell ya how them judges scored the fight. The scores came out to 119-108, 118-109, and 119-109. That’s a pretty clear win, if ya ask me. No doubt about it, Canelo came out on top. After the fight, he was all confident, sayin’ “I’m the best. Who’s better? Nobody can beat this Canelo.” Well, he sure did back that up, didn’t he?
Charlo, on the other hand, he didn’t have much to say after the fight. He tried his best, but it just wasn’t his night. Now, this ain’t the end for him. He’s a strong fighter, and folks know that. But Canelo, he’s still holdin’ onto them belts and showin’ everyone he ain’t done yet. Some folks were sayin’ Canelo might be past his prime, but if you ask me, he showed ’em all he’s still got plenty left in the tank.
Now, let’s talk a bit about the aftermath of the fight. Charlo, he’s gonna take home a nice payday, that’s for sure. I heard he’s walkin’ away with a good chunk of change, somethin’ like $3 million after all the split and bonuses and such. Ain’t bad for a night’s work, even if you didn’t win, huh?
But Canelo, well, he ain’t worried about the money as much as makin’ sure everyone knows who’s still the best. He proved a point that night, and I reckon he’ll keep on fightin’ for a while yet. Ain’t nobody pushin’ him out of that top spot just yet.
So, what’s next for these two? Well, Canelo’s talkin’ ’bout other big names in the sport, maybe another fight with David Benavidez or somethin’. As for Charlo, he’ll lick his wounds and come back stronger, no doubt about it. He’s a fighter through and through.
In the end, I reckon the real winner here is us, the fans. We got to see a real barnburner of a fight. It wasn’t just about the belts; it was about pride, heart, and who could take control when it counted. And this time, that man was Canelo Alvarez.
