Stephen A. Smith breaks down Jermell Charlo vs Canelo Alvarez 

Give credit to Canelo making it look easy against an undisputed champion

Hello Stephen A, Jermell had all the advantages, larger reach, larger frame, way taller. They said canelo was washed and old, haters counted him out, they said charlo was to slick for canelo, they said charlo was to fast for canelo. Even when canelo went up and bivol was hitting him hard, he still went toe to toe instead of running scared. Canelo is never scared even when loosing.

Defense?! He ran! He ran like a cheetah, not fight like the Lion he said he was! Stop making excuses, SA! 😂

Don't make excuses for Charlo he's a weight bully in his own division

Charlo wasn’t sitting on any of his punches. He just wanted to survive.

Canelo's skills were on full display. Let's start recognizing the elite level this man has brought to the game.

You can’t make excuses for charlo, he even said out of his own mouth “I’m the big charlo, I’m bigger than canelo” the better fighter won that night

So its ok for Canelo to jump to 2 weights to fight Koalev, but another guy can't jump to fight Canelo? Why is that?

Now, if Canelo rejected Charlo - then he would have never heard the end of it. Canelo was actually going to fight Jermall Charlo who is the Middleweight champion at 160, but Jermall said he wasn't ready, and gave the assist to his brother. Now, many boxing experts picked Jermell over Canelo. Many boxers, especially Black boxers picked Jermell to beat Canelo. In recent fights, Canelo has not been fighting at the level pre-Bivol; therefore, this was a good risk worth the taking $$$$ - Both fighters have been criticised for this fight. It's funny how they were excited during the anticipation of this fight. When the fight took place, they suddenly found fault. People...

After the Jacobs fight at 160 Canelo jumped up to 175 and got a KO and a belt.

That's crazy how a lot of people was saying that charlo was going to beat canelo and they was saying that canelo was scared

As we saw Canelo was just honestly the better fighter period ......

Saul "Canelo" Alvarez Best Middleweight & Super Middleweight Of His Generation!! 🥊

"Come on ya'll, come on ya'll"...Charlo knew what he was getting himself into when he signed the contract to fight Canelo. This dude's always shading on Canelo 'cause he's not a black boxer and finding excuses for his black boxers when they fail to perform. "Come on ya'll, come ya'll"...you can't do that to Canelo for beating up Charlo who weighed in the same weight, was taller and had a longer reach. Skills is what beat Charlo that night!

Charlo’s defense was called RUNNING

And People Really Really thought Charlo Had A Chance, 💯

Now everyone is saying canelo was too big come on men charlo signed the deal knowing he was going up 2 divisions to fight the best fighter of our era!!

Hold up, Charlo was the one saying he could be Canelo 😂

Canelo took clean shots from Light Heavyweight Dimitri Bivol. Canelo's face expressed a serious "DaYUM that was crazy hard" expression. The fact that Canelo wasn't dropped was something to see. No one should be surprised that Jermell's shots had little effect.

David Benavidez is tailor made for canelo. He leaves those love handles exposed way too much. Its gonna be Callum Smith all over again.

The thing is Jermell been calling out Canelo about 2 3 years. He got his wish and did f all that’s why people complaining

He will do the same shit to David Benavidez 🤣🤣 Benavidez don’t have no chin

Just to let you know canelo is always on disadvantage when it comes to height and reach. Those really really matter in boxing as well. He never complains!

Charlo punches didn’t affect canelo cause Charlo never tried to throw a powerful punch, he was throwing what I call love taps

While Benavidez may be a big test for Canelo due to his size and skills, if we see this version of Canelo, I don't think he loses to anyone below LHW. If he decides to move up to LHW again, it'll be interesting, but a rematch with Bivol is still his hardest fight, or facing Beterbiev of course.

Canelo is a demon, boxers keep calling him out and he hurts them. The pressure and power is crazy. Bivol beat him tactically.

That’s how great canelos skills are..Charlo is undisputed in his weight class..made him look like a sparring session..Benavidez ain’t no different

Canelos power was just so strong

Don't accept a fight you can't win. Not Canelo's fault that the twins are just trash talkers and got whooped.

I don't think you know what you saw. Charlo was out skilled, out powered, and out smarted. Charlo was doing things some amateurs don't do

SA called it. He was saying Canelo was gonna dominate Charlo and he did. It was a shame Charlo didn't look like he wanted to be there but you can't come for the best and put on a fight like that

He should be taking slot of heat we didn’t pay 99$ pay per view to watch him run for 12 rounds shouldn’t be ashamed of himself

Canelo moved up, got hit, and still kept pushing, knowing he was losing

Canelo always presses forward like that. Bivol was the only one that slowed him down a bit but he was still pressing.

Dude stop it charlo wasn't even throwing

You should have got Max to do this segment. You don’t know boxing.

Charlo signed the contract to fight Canelo and was paid extremely well. I expect more effort from Charlo. He fought like he just wanted to survive and collect a check. Charlo not only lost the fight, he also lost his reputation.

What you’re saying makes a lot of sense Stephen A. That being said Charlo agreed to fight him at that weight so he doesn’t get a free pass, even though he took on a tough challenge

My dad was the same way. To this day he can't talk about that Foreman/Frazier fight without bursting into tears of laughter 😂

It’s funny how the dude calls canelo out then fights scared and people wanna used the excuse he went up to weight divisions 😂

It’s the fact that he talked wails smack for years him and his twin then got in ring for a check but fronted like he wanted to fight!!

For Charlo...going the distance was a win for him. He did not display the courage of a "champion." Canelo made the lion look like a house cat. Yes...Spence got destroyed but gotta respect him for trying to win.

Where is max ? We need a real sport men to talk about this fight

I never thought Stephen would see what most have failed to see ... once Charlo hit Canelo with his best shot and saw it didnt even tickle Canelo he knew it was over and figured a moral victory of not getting knocked out was the priority.

Listen this is boxing not Tennis. Yes he went up 2 divisions but lets not act that Canelo is a big 168, no, hes a small 168 pounder. He started at 140 and decided to keep moving up while they all stayd. Now, Charlo did not have to take the fight but them Charlos been running their mouths towards Canelo for years! So now when you have the fight ( Jermell weighd 172 fight night) what's the problem? I m not saying go wild but throw something with authority, those shots Mell was throwing were scratches not shots. But he didn't wanna throw hard cause he was simply scared Canelo will fire something much harder...Canelo was out there to destroy him, Charlo calmed down, said hell no, let me pick up my 20 mill check post fight and adios. Good bag though 👍

People want a fighter to fight not run and go out on your shield and earn respect

Canelo whoop ur boy Charlo lol stop with ur excuses

Jermell was running...I thought he was a track star lol

The twin talk the most crap about Canelo! Come on now! You act like, Jermell was nice nice! Call out Canelo multiple times! Don't worry, he fighting David benavidez on Cinco de Mayo 😂😂😂

Canelo haters,"Canelo is ducking the Charlo Lions" Moments later Canelo," is cherry picking the Charla cubs."

Then why go fight him then?!! Smdh!

Amir Khan said in an interview,i hit Canelo with my best shots and it did nothing i knew i was in trouble. It doesn't matter who Canelo beats haters are gonna hate.

Terrance is getting too much credit for beating a damaged Spence

Stephen A needs to stfu as the late Roger Mayweather once said “YDKSAB” you shouldn’t have signed the contract if you were going to go there to survive. Plant and Ryder put up a better fight. Khan went out there and took a chance. Kell Brook went out there versus GGG and took a chance. You don’t want to do that don’t get in the ring point blank

It’s hard for me to say it’s because he came up 2 weight classes when we know he walks around at 180 more than likely

Canelo a bad man

Wen the reporter asked canelo you were suppose to fight the bigger twin you fought the smaller twin .....canelo said there twins same height weight and reach other one jus fights at smaller weight class bcuz its easier to fight smaller people I literally broke out crying he had the perfect response

One word that fight should have never been made disgraceful

Charlo," Where are you Canelo!!!" "I can beat him." Moments Later Charlo,"At least I did not get knocked out" .

Everyone acting like Canelo is 6'5 315 pounds get out of here with that BS, This is Boxing you gonna get hit hard its your job to take the hits and hit back as hard as you can dont run for 12 rounds all that talking and he didnt do a damn thing to win the fight what a disappointment to the sport of boxing.

Canelo did his thing, he bullied the smaller guy and never let him in the fight.

Canelo so damn good he makes his fight look easy .can’t take nothing from canelo 💯🇲🇽

I believe Mr. Charlo fought the right fight with what he had to work with. 20 million dollars is not going to do him any good if a blow to the head causes him Irreparable brain damage. Charlo handle himself professionally making sure he got out of there with his senses intact. Now he can move on to bigger and better things in his weight class. I am very happy nothing bad happened to him.

This is what happens when people were thinking canelo don't got skills😂😂 "flat footed". Now they say its the weight yet will claim bud can beat canelo. Then when canelo beats Crawford they'll say he was too small😂😂😂😂

Charlo kept running his mouth, its not that he lost, but the way he fought

Please! Charlo signed the contract. He calls himself a Lion. At least go down like a Lion. Cmon Stephen A.

Charlo taking heat cuz Charlo ran his mouth and couldn’t deliver. Crawford speaks the truth and wanna be fans get hurt. Speak the truth and admit Charlo ran like Floyd for a pay day. That’s what Everyone saw Saturday night

Well said Mr. Smith. Pure facts. I can't hate on Charlo. My guy is Canelo but I can't shame someone who dares to be great. Props to Charlo and of course Props to the Champ Nelo.

Everyone has to know that charlo fought a great champion he has nothing to be ashamed of and he did the best he could even though I’m a Canelo fan hold your head up brother

Why can’t they give canelo the same excuse vs bivol 😂

Charlo was clearly not on Canelo's level: Thats all the explanation needed.

Bad take Stephen A. He said Charlo went up 2 weight classes and was justified in running because he didn't want to get KO'd by the bigger fighter. When Canelo moved up 1-2 weight classes to fight, Bivol, Kovalev, etc he went on OFFENSE every time. Even in his loss to Bivol, Canelo moved forward most of the fight and pressed the action. He looked to KO Bivol all the way into the last round. He didn't start running when he realized he couldn't hurt Bivol. Charlo barely tried early on and completely gave up after a few rounds.

His defense is as good as Stephen A's punch combos

Nobody made the man move up 2 weight classes. Dare to be great? Dare to have brain damage 🤕

Like this Steven Smith

Stephen A, this is the first time you have been SPOT ON in a long time

It was like hitting a monster truck with a feather that still coming towards You😟

Stephen A , stop making excuses for jermell "The Kitten" Charlo

We need Max Kellerman to break this down right!

Charlo was on the track culture ! Bro was running the whole fight, disappointing fight no competition.

Stephen A. Smith is a Mayweather Moves FanBoy which is Run and Hugging Tactics😂

These black reporters are getting saltier and saltier. Excuses.

Man I don't want to hear that shit. The Charlos been calling out Canelo for years and the second they got him. 1 of them Folded.

Giving Charlo excuses for running is sad excuse SAS. He was even scared to bring up the fight on first take.

He is not small at all, he is fucking huge, he is just used to bully smaller boxers..draining the Hell out of his body.. At 154, Canelo is levels above in this weight class or any weight class. Compared to charlo end of. Story

If you call hugging and running from your opponent good defense which is what charlo did every minute of the boxing match, then maybe you shouldn’t comment on boxing.

Stephen A..How come everyone criticize Canelo for loosing with Bivol when Canelo moved up…..

I wasn’t thinking about this, but I agree with this. I don’t think we thought about it. This is one of the times I agree with SAS

Derrick james is the doc rivers of boxing

Man this take really makes me miss max lmao

British boxers i think had more balls then charlo..."Payday you want payday....i know it"...words of canelo....

People for get quickly that the Champ 🇲🇽, began at 154... just levels of fighters. Come Steven A Smith

Charlo clearly just finesse everyone and took there money and laugh n his fans face

Great video bro U spoke facts finally someone knows boxing. Good job Stephen A

Wilder wanted to get knocked out. He said it many times -- "I want to go out on my shield". Fury is a lot bigger and stronger than Wilder too...a lot more than 14 lbs. Fury might even be bigger than Wilder on a percentage basis vs the Canelo/Charlo weight difference. Gotta give it to Wilder -- he came to fight and wasn't scared to get KO'd and he can truly take pride in that bc that's far more impressive than what Charlo did. Charlo is not a lion, he just be lyin. Canelo, Crawford, Inoue, Wilder, Fury -- those are the real lions. Not the Charlos.

LET THE EXCUSES BEGIN I'LL WAIT!

He didn’t let them hands go talk the talk but didn’t walk the walk

Agree 💯

Finally someone giving Canelo props and not just saying Charlo just laid down wich he didnt..... weightclasses for a REASON.

If you saying that the weight was an issue then why hype up Terrance if y’all know he’s even smaller than cánelo and would get smacked around as well ?
