Have to give respect for Charlo coming up 14 pounds. The real ones are wiling to take those chances. Canelo is a brick.

Canelo has fallen in love with his power, but Charlo didn't have anything for him. Good game plan to keep moving and pot shot, but it was never going to win for Charlo.

Canelo at this weight is starting to look like Mike Tyson at Heavyweight, short, stocky, and powerful.

This fight didn't feel like Charlo daring to be great. This felt like Charlo daring to be rich.

That's a pretty solid take. Charlo never really felt like he had anything for Canelo.
