It’s a non-title fight, but they should probably go ahead and just give Adames the full title at 160. I’d be absolutely shocked if Charlo got back down there.
“Jermall Charlo 166.5 vs. Jose Benavidez Jr 161.75
(163lb catch weight, non-title)”
– Charlo will be coughing up some money……
Jermall Charlo is ass juice. The man can’t even make his own catchweight lmfao.
I don’t know just like I expect it from Andrade , he thick in muscle that’s I knew nobody could beat him at 160 and still at 168 he looks great
This is 50/50
I will pick Benavides for decision For split decicion and just because if the fight is close the judges will benefit Benavides for 2 reasons , 1) he is the champ 2) he will sell more tickets against canelo
We will see tomorrow but this fight is very very close
He’s going to get blasted. No one beat him at 160 because he never fought anyone ffs.
Yea but it’s was easy to see his supremacy at 160 lbs even when fought nobody
Agree. 154 or 160 he was excellent. Just couldn’t get the fights…
guess you were way wrong
I don’t know about you, but benavidez kind of has that Richard Ramirez night stalker look? I believe he wins, but this fight is not easy.
Close looking to stalker Ramirez yea lol
I agree, Killa. I got Benavidez but I think it’s a difficult fight and not the best to watch either.
Well Lucie, let’s hope it’s entertaining. That’s ALL we could ask for. Let me bounce this one off of you: meilinicki and zayas? Same weight class for now. I know we differ on zayas, but I think it’s a fight that may happen down the road aways. Also, think zayas beats him right now maybe always too.
Well we agree there. I think Zayas is a bit ahead of Melinicki and, if they stay on their same courses, I think he’ll always be a bit ahead of him. I think Jesus Ramos will be really good competition for Zayas down the line – probably at middleweight. Hopefully, with Showtime tapping out, the PBC guys come out to play with others more often.
I think your right. Not a bad choice in Ramos. Zayas probably doesn’t stay at 154 for too long.
Andrade has the superior boxing skills. Not a Floyd Mayweather or Bivol but superior skills to Benavidez and all others at this division.
It will come down to how fit he is for the 12 rounds. If he is in shape he will win.
The good of Andrade
-Andrade is not a runner he is slicker
– great boxing skills
– muscle weight
The bad:
– lack of quelity oposition
The good of Benavides ;
– decent power punch
– fast combinations
– decent quality opposition
The bad :
– not good waist movement
-not good footwork
I hope Benavides don’t be over confident
Decent quality opposition?? Hahaha
Ahhh… Charlo’s plan appears to be moving up a division and not on defending that 160 title after all.
He’s gonna safely test the waters at a new weight by knocking the smaller Benavidez jr out cold
good to see David Benavidez step up to fight Andrade. when other top guys wont.
Benavidez’s constant pressure and unrelenting style will really put Andrade in overtime working mode. Andrade will be very busy just trying to keep Benavidez off him. Mid to late rounds, Benavidez’s pressure will force Andrade out of his comfort zone and he will be vulnerable to power shots. Benavidez – TKO.
scooby you were the winner this time congrats
I still believe that Jermell tested the “waters” against Canelo for his heavier twin.
Jermall is coming in weighing 166 something lb for this fight .
Hypothetical pops into mind,, Jermall fights Canelo next(providing he wins),, or the winner of the main event. .
Jermall moves to 168 and Jermell moves up to 160.
Kudos to both fighters for laying it all on the line. I admit I want to see Benavidez vs Canelo. Andrade at 3-1 is a live dog. If that lefty stance frustrates El Monstro enough to run him into something, he’ll put himself in position for a huge upset.
Benavidez looks mean, although a friend of mine sparred with him at two of his camps & said he’s a really nice guy.
What the hell is going on here? Charlo comes in over 3 lbs over the contractually-agreed 163 lb catch weight limit, a concession to him so he wouldn’t have to make the 160 lb limit in which he holds the title. He hasn’t defended the belt in over two years. He should’ve been stripped of that title two years ago for inactivity. Why are exceptions being made for him? Because he’s a marketing draw and makes everyone the most money when he fights? It’s absurd. The integrity in the sport has gone into a free fall, and I think it’s pathetic to see.
Although watching how Jose Benavidez conducts himself, I can understand why he got shot, I don’t think it’s fair to him to allow his opponent to come in over 3 lbs beyond the limit, after he trained to make sure he made the limit. It gives Charlo an unfair advantage, and places Joe at risk far beyond that which is already inherent in any fight. This to give the mentally unstable Charlo an unfair opportunity to score a crowd-pleasing knockout just to feed the hype. Absolutely insane and pathetic.
Since Charlo didn’t make weight, the fight should be stopped. Jose should be compensated for properly preparing himself according to the contract terms and being ready to fight. Charlo should be severely fined, suspended, and immediately stripped of his title. Substance and integrity over hype.
I think Jose will win the fight
Charlo is not mentally ready for the fight
And for a fight you need to be ready physically and mentally
Terence Crawford sagging is adolescent adult. What a shame !!! Hiphop is an incurable disease on black boys that will not grow.
Crawford just got embarrassed by shakur and charlo
Yea when shakur performed bad against de los santos …Crawford said:
“”” no problem he kept the title which is what matters”””
I completely agree.
I think it’s unbelievably cowardly for Charlo to come in over the weight limit, then expect that cheating to stand to give himself a height and significant weight advantage against Jose Benavidez. He may be more than 10 lbs heavier than Jose by fight time. It just shouldn’t be allowed. No wonder he seems like such an airhead about it all.
Back in my day we weighed in the day of the fight and wore a different kind of underwear.
The Co-Main event should be scrapped. Neither fighter seems to be all there and Charlo should be stripped. The Main event is a make-or-break for both. Andrade needs to keep the fight center ring, stay off the ropes, and use angles to keep Benavidez turning. The problem is, he tends to fight with his legs so far apart to generate power. The blueprint is in a fight 30 years ago when Pernell Whitiker put on a virtuoso performance at the Alamo in San Antonio by keeping Julio Ceasar Chavez turning therefore constantly having to pick up his back foot, making him a sucker for the Str8 left dropping it down the pike. By the end, Chavez looked like an old man who lost his keys. Sweet Pea was robbed of what was his finest hour and never got credit for handing Chavez his 1st loss.
Naaaaa Chavez started at 130 lbs and moved to 147 lbs Whitaker weight and Whitaker was just hit and run and Chavez chasing him
Pernell had to ko Chavez since was younger and in his weight division
So the draw was fair but Pernell looked bad
WTF are you smoking man? Whitiker was never better. He started at 130-135 as well & didn’t run but like a Matador let Chavez catch air all night until the starch was taken out of him. In Chavez’s next fight, Frankie Randall got the decision but Whitiker took him to school. As someone said, put down the crack pipe. You’re delusional.
What you call school??? Running and throwing slaps???
Now ..Whitaker loved to welter and stayed there because the weight fits on him
And welter was too much for Chavez
Chavez body was too small for welter weight
He went to welter again 4 years later when was old just to fight Oscar de la Hoya in his prime
Charlo sisters are the biggest embarrassment in boxing. Lions Only?? More like Pussycats Only. How shocking the scrub couldn’t even make weight. I hope Benevidez folds him early. Would be beautiful to see. If not then we’ll just have to see Canelo do it because I’m willing to bet he fights Charblow before he fights Benevidez.
I truly hope to see a future Canelo vs. Benavidez fight (168).
Impressive. Everyone, with the exception of Charlo, looks well hydrated. I think we will be seeing a few good fights. Besides the main event, I’m looking forward to Matias vs Ergashev.
I have Garcia, Benavides, Lipinets and Charlo winning.
Matias is in for a long night if he doesn’t know how to bridge the gap without taking straight lefts. He needs to take the fight to a phonebooth on the ropes, but I think he can get it done. This might be the fight of the night.
Rivera fighting Lipinets as his comeback fight is a bad idea and I see a derailment.
I wasn’t aware that Mielnicki Jr was on the card as well. I’m picking him over Salazar by decision.
I think Davis will have some serious issues falling behind for the first 5 rounds and once he adjusts, he should dominate the rest of the way. If Andrade can get those counters to the body established as Benavides is coming in, he’ll have better opportunities to counter as he steps out in angles.
Charlo was already the bigger guy. 32 hours later from weigh Charlo will be a light heavy. Benavidez could make 140/47 if he was to be compensated for such. This is a set up.
I love boxing, especially when both Gladiators are evenly match or formidable.
Charlo looks like he might be on psych drugs or something. He looks sedated.
I get the impression he always knew he wasn’t coming in at the catch weight.
Should be exciting stuff.
Andrade looks pretty confident.
