Oscar De La Hoya gives his prediction for Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo
Oscar De La Hoya has made his prediction for Canelo Alvarez vs. Jermell Charlo. The Mexican is the clear favorite going into the fight, as Charlo will move up two weight divisions to fight him. De La Hoya has his money on his fellow Mexican but believes Alvarez is very flat-footed and heavy inside the ring:
"So Canelo, obviously he's very flat-footed, heavy inside the ring, he literally walks like he has quicksand on his feet. But I think that if he throws those big bombs on Charlo, his arms, obviously, during the rounds his arms will come down and in the later rounds Canelo will chop him down and eventually maybe stop him."
He added:
"But if Charlo, keeps his jab......and throws combinations and moves....he can give Canelo a lot of trouble."
Take a look at the video:
Oscar De La Hoya believes the fight will be an easy win for Canelo Alvarez if Jermell Charlo gets into a slugfest with him. However, if the American fights like Dmitry Bivol did, sticking the jab and moving, he can perform masterfully against Alvarez.
