Former WBC middleweight champion Jermall Charlo has spoken out about Terence Crawford's fight with undisputed middleweight champion Saul Alvarez on September 13.
Jermall Charlo for The Ring
I like Crawford in this fight and he gets to stay big. My brother even told me that was the mistake that he made. He thought going up in weight, I gotta get massive, I got to get big to beat Canelo. It made him slower, it made his reflexes slower. Crawford, I think the same thing as Jermell, he is trying to get big, trying to absorb Canelo's punches.
