Jermall Charlo advises Terence Crawford against the Canelo fight
Jermall Charlo is advising Terence Crawford taking the Canelo fight, citing same mistakes that led to his brother’s predicament.
“My brother fought Canelo, not me. I like Crawford in this fight, and he looked to stay big. But my brother even told me that’s the mistake that he made,” said Jermall Charlo to the media, talking about his brother, Jermell Charlo, putting on weight, moving up from 154 to challenge Canelo Alvarez in 2023. We saw how Jermell gave up trying after he got hit with some shots early in the fight against Canelo two years ago.
His own punches had no effect on the Mexican star, as his power didn’t carry up from 154. Crawford’s situation is even worse. He looked weak going up from 147 to 154 in his last fight against Israil Madrimov on August 3rd.
“You want to get big to try and absorb Canelo’s punches. But technically, that’s not the Crawford that we’re going to see. Crawford is going up to fight Canelo at 168 when he’s not a 168-pounder. Where is the motivation? Y’all got to think about it,” said Jermall.
